Why cannot I copy an entire GIF?
Due to the limitation of Async Clipboard API, the only formats available via browser clipboard api are text/plain, text/html and image/png. (see ClipboardItem.supports())
This limitation helps improve security by forbidding some files that may be harmful to system, but also makes it impossible to copy other formats.
Why some GIFs become unanimated after uploading?
It's been tested that some software cannot correctly pass file types when dragging files from inside. In this case, the browser will not receive the correct file format.
Currently there's no way of solving this. We suggest saving the image to gif files and dragging the file from your system explorer.
You can view the MIME type of your images below the rating input. Check this if you're unsure about the exact file type you're about to upload.
Is it possible to change the image of a post?
No. A post cannot have its image updated. To achieve similar goals you need to delete the post and create a new post with the same metadata.

Image eligibility
How to decide which duplicate shall be deleted?
In brief, the one with lower quality and more content unrelated to LONG is tend to be deleted.
- For images that have no apparent differences in content, resolution and definition, one that looks better is likely to be kept. For example, ones with more natural saturation or hue.
- For images that have the same content, but differ in resolution and definition (see below), the one that minimizes resolution and maximizez definition will be kept.
- For images obtained by cropping a portion out of a larger image, the larger one will be kept.
- For static images taken from a frame of a GIF, the GIF will be kept, except for when the static image is modified to a proper extent.
Should I upload images not directly containing LONG faces?
It depends. Images that do not directly contain LONG faces but satisfy any of the conditions below can still be considered eligible for upload:
- Belongs to an existing variant series.
- Mimics LONG faces with other elements (like a socket).
- Is obtained by passing a LONG image through some sort of transformation, usually somewhat related to AI. (like the output image after feeding LONG face into a Stable Diffusion img2img, or an AI upscaled image)
Here, "directly" containing LONG faces refers to that the image contains at least a part of a LONG face that is sufficient for a user to recognize.
For images satisfying condition 1 and 2, add a longless tag when uploading.
