Answered how does pic8 work?

When I have an image already on a URL is it better to provide the web url to copy the pic is downloading or copy/pasting the image better?

I have noticed that copy/pasted images seem to end up as png files while web urls seem to be jpeg files, is that better if the file is shorter?

Pic8 (Pic Infinity) was created by @AOU. It has good interop here, but you're free to use any image site you like.

I suppose even that faggot-shit-heap Imgur works.

And poal was created by @picman or @boone, can't remember well.

I used to run pic8. Then I lost my virginity and lost interest. I gave it to @picman but I believe he traded it to @waltfuckinwhite for some cement work.

Images from clipboard keep the same format as the original ones they were copied from.

Providing a link might be faster than your connection (from where clipboard images are uploaded).

ok, i did that with an image from google images, that is probably some in-browser bitmap
