Yes, that in rar was transparent file.

I see you figured it out by yourself.

From my side i try to press on png then it opens transparent as it is. So in post server produce thumbnail if it exceed some size.

Final result - 700px width maximum to display png transparent. That probably works for all images.

well 700 is big enough for most people I guess transparant images are not designed to be that big

actually looking at the image I think I need another underlying texture on it to smooth otherwise

Yep. And for fitting into screen normally maybe without scroolbar when maximized internet viewer.

P.S. Now i'll try to delete all that except result.

Maybe not smoother. But vice versa (translator) too smooth. Original looks more like cartoon. Rounder edges. Crack look more painted than your "lightnings".

But yours look good too, of course.

The file still has a transparent background.
I opened your original image in PS and the background was transparent.
The file's fine, it just doesn't display properly in a post.
