There are countless images across the wiki that — while they look fine with the normal display — contrast badly with Night Vision's color scheme. The purpose of this thread is to weed these images out by replacing them with either transparent versions, or sometimes just a higher-quality version.
What causes an image to contrast most often is that it has an unnecessary, blank white background. A good example is the former image for Orbot & Cubot
◊ on the character subpage for Sonic The Hedgehog, which has since been swapped out for a transparent version
◊.
Another cause is when the image in question is already transparent, but it wasn't cut out properly and now has an unsightly artifact of its background around it. For example, the former image
◊ for Studio Ghibli, which has also been replaced with a cleaner version
◊.
These details are basically impossible to notice on the normal display's white background, and since not everyone uses Night Vision regularly, a lot of these images sneak through. Please keep Night Vision in mind when suggesting or uploading any new image for use on a page.
To tell if an image needs replacing, just switch on Night Vision (if you don't already have it enabled) and see if the image has either of the two problems detailed above. If it does, then either add it to this index and report it here so someone can replace it or, if you are able to, go ahead and replace the image yourself. You don't need to ask for permission; image quality upgrades are a free action. You are not obligated to report any upgrades you made here, but that would be appreciated, since that would help this thread get traffic.
Please note that not every image with a white background will need to be replaced. In some cases the white background is as much a part of the image as any other detail. Take for instance, the page image
◊ for The Lost Room. Other examples, like any page that uses a panel from a black-and-white comic or manga, such as the current image
◊ for Heroic Resolve, should also be okay (unless the background takes up a unusual amount of space, then it will probably just need to be cropped). If you are unsure if an image should be replaced, bring it up here.

Hi
Needing these to be made transparent for upgrades on Characters.Warhammer 40000 Craftworld Eldar; thanks in advance

One of the defenition of "pain" is having to separate white parts from the white background while the entire object is also brightly lit.
~Willbyr, check the edges of these meanwhile, the other two may take more than a few minutes.
Hi
The edges are kinda crunchy but a lot better than what I could do with what I have available.
the Retromancer
~Willbyr Almost forgot your Uber order Baharroth and Maugenra, see if there's anything stands out at this size. Definitely wouldn't be crunchy with a higher-res pic and a different backdrop (and me not being tired).
the Retromancer
Brought to You by the Letter "S" says it needs transparency, but does it really? The background acts as a border.

Hi
That looks fine to me in night vision.

Haven't been here for a while, so let me make up for it.

Hi
Requesting the pic on Kick Chick to be made transparent per its recent IP thread

I'm not sure what to do with the intentional blur at the top and the signature, let me see how it looks at this size meanwhile. ~Willbyr

~Willbyr. Another ping since I think you've missed the previous one.

Hi
Sorry, I saw the original ping but forgot to reply. I think that's about as good as it'll get.
All the images that are artwork in Pokémon Legends: Arceus have white outlines. Here are possible fixes for Mai and Arezu:

Hi
Very nice
Gottem from Bulbapedia, just in case that is a problem.

I noticed Handicapped Badass is on Pages Needing Transparent Images. Does it really need to be? Although it has a white background, it helps make the Joker’s shadow visible. Without the white background, I think it would be pretty hard to see in the site’s dark mode.
the Retromancer
Since the shadow needs to be against a contrasting background, I'd say removal isn't necessary.

Anyway, shall I replace the current pics for Mai and Arezu with the outline-free ones?

~eroock, ironically, I already had Bindle Stick prepared. But I wasn't a big fan of the caption, either it should describe all marked elements or describe the stick without the labels.
Go ahead.
the Retromancer
(Sorry for the sudden interruption.) How do you feel about the new caption? We can move it to Caption Repair if it doesn't sound great.

The white glows on the Pokémon Legends: Arceus character images are part of the official art as it was released, so I don't see why we should remove them. I believe Mai and Arezu's images should be reverted.
Keet cleanup
They still look nicer without them.
This IP thread
overwhelmingly voted for the white background for Big Anime Eyes, so I added a note to the tag and removed it from the index.
