Weird. I get the lil' blue square of my screen shot at the end of the sentence?
Pelican parts won't allow you to upload .png files. I think it's only .jpg and .gif.

If the .png is already on the internet somewhere else, that is fine.

This is a .png file that's on the internet (pinterest, I think). I copied the "image address location" or "image location" or whatever your browser says, and then click the tiny icon above my post and paste the address.



That's the best way for images that are already on the Internet somewhere. Some addresses won't paste well. For instance, I think some sites will yield an address that doesn't include a file name. Those often won't work and would require you to save the image and then upload.

I try to not upload to PP if I don't have to so I save them drive space. I know it's cheap these days, but it adds up when it's thousands of images.

If you want to upload, you'll have to convert to .jpg or .gif.
