  This new all-in-1 guide will teach you how to upload transparent images for
       Artwork / Screenshot / Workshop / Guide showcases!

         What should you know before following the guide?

             Your image must contain transparent elements!

         Modifying transparent images requires basic skills at hex editing.

          This method works for all supported file types (except for JPG)
                  independently of size and frame count!

          This trick also allows you to upload long workshop/guide images!

     Please follow these steps if you're uploading a transparent GIF.

                   Open this site: https://hexed.it/

          Click "Open file" and select your image you want to modify.



                Scroll to the very bottom of the page.



             Change the last byte of your file to 21 or 2C, like this:



              Click "Export" and save your modified file.

     The method described in the previous section can also be applied to PNG images.
  However, the image will not be displayed properly in some web browsers including Firefox.
               This fix allows you to avoid this problem.

              DISCLAIMER

         This trick will increase your file size by 1 byte.
    But this is a really small amount so you don't have to care about it much.
