Images uploaded through teams convert to PNG's upon download
- That's odd. Seems like a bug to me. I would submit a support ticket.
As a work around, since Teams is attached to SharePoint libraries you can use the OneDrive App to upload your photos. You can quickly take photos as well using the app where you can upload them to a channel folder for access into Teams.
Cannot believe how this problem can still exist years later! So, upon downloading an image from Teams that was uploaded as a JPG, Microsoft CHANGE the filename (not the file) to MicrosoftTeams-image.png.......... Have you heard of ANY other modern app doing such a thing? Imagine downloading an image from Slack and it just randomly changed the image?? And this wasn't the case years ago, it downloaded and displayed in Teams as you would expect, and then, in one update, it broke it all. Then they slightly fixed how it displays in the post issue (still crops it off weirdly at times) but it still downloads as MicrosoftTeams-image.png. HOWWWWWWWWW?!?!?
Download multiple files and you get MicrosoftTeams-image (1).png! How is this ok? It creates confusion, it creates errors when colleagues try to use the image in other apps and it wastes time as we have to explain the stupid Microsoft behaviour to their perplexed faces.
Fix the **bleep** bug already!!!!
- I have since discovered, if you DON'T click on the image and enlarge it, you can right click on the thumbnail in the post and select download and it keeps the filename and extension intact. Why this same behaviour can't be afforded to the download button when you click on an image is beyond me.
