It's sad that there's no support for lossy compressed images. People copypaste images a lot without intention to change them, and each time it's JPEG source the compression is lost but artifacts are preserved, and more artifacts are added upon repeated JPEG compression, which happens immediately with most target web apps. https://xkcd.com/1683/

Wait, is this why when I `right click > copy` an image in safari and paste into messages, it gets turned into a png?
