+--- Thread: I can't submit something to the main site because it thinks a PNG is a BMP (/showthread.php?tid=1409)
I can't submit something to the main site because it thinks a PNG is a BMP - littlelum - 11-05-2018
Basically what the title says, my thumbnail is PNG but the sever says it's a BMP (Thereby causing it to reject the submission)
Any ideas?

Have you tried using a gif file version of the thumbnail?

Are you using MSPaint by any chance? The earlier version of MS Paint will save PNG files in BMP format. I would recommend save it as BMP and then convert it to PNG using a 3rd party software like GIMP.

No, I used a program to rip it from a game. It said it exported it as a PNG, and my computer says it's a PNG, but the mainsite says it's a BMP. (The part that confuses me is that my computer says it's a PNG)

There's a good chance that the exporter program saved it as a BMP. Try opening it in Paint and re-saving it as a PNG, that ought to fix it
