Copy-pasting images to Lemmy in Firefox converts jpeg to png. Is this a Lemmy bug? (lemmy.world)

I just made a post copy-pasting images from another tab. All jpegs became pngs, for example 1.3MB became 6.4MB.

If I save the image first, then upload to Lemmy, it stays as a jpeg. What causes the pointless converting when copy-pasting? Can it be stopped from happening?

What OS are you using? Perhaps it’s being converted because of limitations of the clipboard?

[–] Tehdastehdas@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Surely all clipboards pass any file without touching the insides? That's the only easy way to make a clipboard.
