[imagem] simon: We probably shouldn’t ever convert PNGs to JPGs when uploading site settings images. I agree with this, @techAPJ is this a change you can make? Appears to have happened to quite a few admins already.

FYI (I’m with Thomas) regarding our use case – this has never been an issue for us except recently, because this JPG broke our PWA (as discussed here ).

FYI (estou com o Thomas) sobre nosso caso de uso — isso nunca foi um problema para nós, exceto recentemente, porque este JPG quebrou nosso PWA (como discutido aqui).
