title: Transparent PNG Images in WhatsApp
body: <p>This image is going around in WhatsApp, a PNG with alpha info. Only works as PNG if you reshare the original one. Everything you try to upload a PNG file (this one or any other) is converted to JPG and the effect is obviously gone.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is how did the original poster uploaded the image? How did (s)he avoided the compression part of the WhatsApp <em>(because WhatsApp will compress any uploaded images which will result in losing transparency)</em> ? Is there any API or way to upload transparent PNG images that I am missing?</p>
  
  <p>The uses of this could be very good for marketing purposes!</p>
