A post which intentionally uses technical tricks to present a full sized image that is deceptively different from its thumbnail.
This tag covers the following types of surprises:
Animations that build up to a startling climax.
Animation frame tricks that flip away from the first frame as soon as the full image finishes loading or after a long delay. Danbooru only shows thumbnails and samples for the first frame of an animation.
Images with optical illusions that exploit digital image resizes and handling of transparent backgrounds.
Images with cleverly placed halftone effects that are designed to be completely obfuscated when the image is scaled to thumbnail sizes.
Images containing metadata exploits that manages to fool Danbooru into displaying a different thumbnail.
This tag is for intentional, technical exploits only. For non-technical exploits or artistic accidents, please use the Misleading Thumbnails pool.
