Bad Request processing failed if image is png

[Aerglonus]

Making a post with a PNG image it will throw the following error:

await threadsAPI.publish({
    text: '🤖 test',
    image: 'https://i.imgur.com/HyfKL15.png',
  });

# rest of response
.....
data: {
      debug_info: {
        retriable: false,
        type: 'ProcessingFailedError',
        message: 'Request processing failed'
      }
    }

Nice catch! I think we will need to convert this image to a JPG and replace the alpha layer with black by default while also allowing an option for custom colors

Does this also happen on WebP transparent images as well?

Just did a test and yes, it also happens with WebP transparent images

[Edit] The PNG image I was sending isn't transparent, just a normal PNG image.

I'm guessing the PNG file had an alpha layer enabled, although it wasn't being utilized (having an actual transparent element)

Think this is the best approach here!
