You can, however, upload other image filetypes from your resource directory, such as JPG. The reason for this limitation is that PNG files in your resource directory get “crushed” (to optimize the final binary size) which makes them incompatible with Facebook photo uploads.

The only issues are large file sizes, as the change doesn't compress them. Comments Changing the file extension from .png to .jpg does work.

The browser will still know it's a .png file and treat it accordingly. Changing the extension elk not compress the file. But since it works, that does indicate the bug is in the Buzztouch code and that it's probably regarding a reference to the file extension. The .png file will work of the Buzztouch code knew it's allowed. The type of file and the size is not the problem. Probably some code reused from BTv1.5.
