client-side image optimization prior to upload
You'd save on bandwidth/storage and our images would look better if you implemented on-the-fly image conversion to WebP. As it stands, large images with few colors (suitable for PNG) look like trash because discord automatically converts them to JPEG. WebP solves this problem by offering extremely efficient and high visual quality image representation for both small-palette images (traditionally PNG) and large-palette images (i.e photos, traditionally JPEG). You could easily cut your image storage costs by ~75% if you enforced client-side conversion of images to lossy WebP with a high quality factor (97ish) prior to upload, and the resulting WebP images would look better than your current JPEG offerings for most files.
