I tried converting them from JPEG to PNG using an online converter and the output was like this:

The only way i’m able to upload photos is if I go in paint and resize each one to 35%, and sometimes 30% if that doesnt work. It’s become a pain to upload photos, and I can only upload photos meant for ants. :ant: :ant: :ant:Image Converter from apps microso page, and did it offline, and now I can upload them, yet everytime I get "error could not upload images 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. and I have to try again everytime to get it to work.

It’s most likely because this online converter is using the same in-browser functionality than OG (and others) to convert the images. Chances are most online converter do nowadays.

Using a software on your computer to convert them should work.

I guess that’s because you’re lowering the image size and bypassing the in-browser conversion. Rather than resize them, convert them.

In short, Tor Browser has a privacy feature that shields your browser from HTML5 Canvas Image Extraction, a technique used for browser fingerprinting.

Currently, the only way to bypass this is by slightly reducing your privacy protection. You have two options:

1. Globally disabling the feature in about:config

  • To access browser settings, put about:config into the address bar.
  • Find following setting and turn it off:
    privacy.resistFingerprinting.randomDataOnCanvasExtract

2. Allowing a canvas exception for specific domains

There’s now also the choice to allow a canvas exception for specific sites. It seems like this exception lasts only for the current session. To try it out:

  • Look for a ‘canvas’ icon in the top-left corner of the URL bar.
  • Click the icon, then select ‘Allow’.

If you have android, screenshots are always saved as .PNG and usually not nearly as large a file as the actual pic is. Should be able to screenshot your pics and then easily upload the screenshots.

Tor browser is not supported by Discourse

Technically Tor Browser is just a fork of Mozilla Firefox ESR.
