We used to be like this about PNGs once, it'll pass.

Some sites still don't support PNG lol. Usually it's places where they specifically expect a photo, where they'll hard code the validation to only check if it's a JPEG. I once had to upload a picture of my face for something and the original JPEG was too large, so I took a screenshot and tried uploading that but it wouldn't work because it only accepted JPEGs. So I had to figure out how to compress the image locally on my phone because I didn't want to upload a picture of me to one of those online converters.

The only program I've seen that explicitly doesn't support PNG is old Source games with custom spray images.

Yeah that's true. I'm mostly talking local tools right now, but low tier sites are always gonna be a problem.
