PNG files uploaded from Google AI Studio are corrupted when synced to GitHub

[damiencocornille-source]

Description of the bug:

When using Google AI Studio and uploading PNG image files directly from the interface, the files appear to upload successfully and are synced to the connected GitHub repository.
However, once the synchronization is complete, the PNG files stored in GitHub are corrupted.

The affected PNG files:

Cannot be opened by standard image viewers

Fail to render correctly in browsers

Appear to have invalid or broken binary content

This issue only occurs when the PNG files are uploaded via Google AI Studio. Uploading the same PNG files directly to GitHub (via web UI or git push) works correctly.

Actual vs expected behavior:

Actual behavior

PNG files uploaded from Google AI Studio become corrupted after being synced to GitHub.

The files exist in the repository but are unusable.

Expected behavior

PNG files uploaded from Google AI Studio should remain binary-intact.

The synced PNG files in GitHub should be identical to the original files and open normally.

Any other information you'd like to share?

Additional notes

File type affected: PNG (.png)

Reproducible: Yes (every time)

Upload method: Google AI Studio UI → GitHub sync

GitHub repository receives the file, but content is corrupted

Snažím se tu o něco velkého ale nějak se nedaří propojit tolik projektů do jednoho systému. BTS -AIOS NETBOOK. potřeboval bych asistenci profesionálů

Any update? It's a basic functionally.. not works for any images type: jpeg, jpg, png, gif, and more. Not only PNG

Same issue! It’s incredibly frustrating having to upload all my images and overwrite the corrupt ones each time I commit changes.

I have the same issue. I tried zipping a copy of the images and letting that unpack during build on Vercel, but EVEN THAT zip got mangled. I mean… how?

I also tried changing the .gitattributes or using LFS but to no avail.

I guess for now, I'll be base64-encoding them?

have everyone trying using svg format?

[lucbloom]

Svg is text based so it works.

Same happens to me, using any type of image (jpeg, png and so on).

Only works with code / text - when you made the changes to the project in Google AI Studio and sync it to github you have to manually upload your images again to the github repository

I am facing the same issue, is there any fix for it?

[lucbloom]

What works currently: - SVG images - base64 encoded pngs - external resources (s3 bucket) - a separate git repo that gets ingested during builds - re-commit all binary assets every time you make a change from AI Studio The base64 option is workable if you have a way to quickly add images in your repo. Ask AI to write a tool to assist you doing this.

I know only one solution for but this is temporary solution, you will need to delete those files from git and reupload those same files again in git. by doing this it solved this issue, but again if you do some changes in Google ai studio and commit changes you will again need to upload the file in git. please suggest if anyone know better solution.
