Convert images to PNG? #32

Closed squaregoldfish closed 8 years ago

squaregoldfish commented 8 years ago

I have a note that images should be converted to PNGs when they're uploaded, presumably so we have them in lossless form. But does it matter?

We have to store the images in a consistent format on the file system, to make subsequent processing easier. The image upload code needs to convert the image into the consistent format, so we store it in a lossless format to prevent any data loss during that conversion.
