So when I upload an image on certain sites the Image “uploads” but it comes out as a solid or staticy colours & looks nothing like what I uploaded.
this really became a problem when I made some new PFPs for my Online Accounts, Glomble & Here took them fine but WAFRN & Bluesky who took the previous images fine just showed the weird stuff even though when they allowed be to crop the image it looked perfectly fine, any advice?
You must log in or # to comment.
This is a security measure Librewolf has. You can fix this in the settings.
Edit: Follow these steps to fix it- Click on the padlock button on the URL bar at the page where you want to upload your image
- Click on “Connection secure” or whatever is written on the bar with another padlock icon
- More information > Permissions > uncheck “Extract canvas data” and select “Allow”
This will affect the current page only
They have to enable webgl. @Geodes_n_Gems@lemmy.ml
This comes from Canvas being blocked by default in librewolf. You can either enable it globally in the settings, or enable it per site by clicking the little picture icon in the URL bar and toggling it, then reloading
Thanks! It worked now all my PFPs match!
Yay glad that fixed it for you!

You most likely need to enable Canvas support on that site for the upload. It’s a little picture icon right to the left of the URL bar. I would recommend reading the docs above.
Are you using a vpn or Tor by any chance? I get that exact “image” when I upload through Tor
- What’s a PFP?
- What format are you uploading them in?
- What app are they generated with?
- Do they also look corrupted on other devices you may have handy?
1: PFP in this context means Profile Picture 2: I’ve tried .png .jpeg & .webp 3: I used Krita to make the image 4: I don’t have anything else I could use
Are you just SAVING as these file extensions, or EXPORTING as each type of file extensions.
Not the difference, and see in the File menu that you need to use the EXPORT function to change actual file type.
