Cannot send iMessage pasted image to Android users

I am able to send a photo from my phone or my Mac to Android users. However, if I copy and paste an image into iMessage and try to send to an Android user, I get this error after the green progress bar tries to send for about 60 seconds: This happens on my Mac as well as iPhone

MacBook Air (M2, 2022)

Here's a real example.

  1. The message on the top was a cut and paste from a website. As you can see it failed to send in the messages app to an Android device.
  2. The message on the bottom is the same image, but I saved it locally to my machine and then sent it again. As you can see it was successfully delivered.
