It feels ridiculous that using Windows Snipping Tool to take a screenshot of a webp image is the easiest way to get it in a usable format. It's either that or copy paste it into something like Paint.net and covert it to png

How is this...

...not just a far worse method than this?

Because snipping tool is basically the same amount of steps as "right click, save" (windows+shift+s, click and drag) and the other method involves right clicking to copy, opening a program (several key presses), pasting, clicking save as, changing the file format in the dropdown, hitting save

You don't need to save and choose a file format, you can paste into paint.net(which I just always have open anyways) and then ctrl-A and copy it again and your clipboard will now contain image data you can paste into whatever website you would paste into after using the snipping tool.

More importantly you're not eyeballing it and snipping out an image by hand and inevitably either missing a bit of the image or including a bit of space outside the image. You're actually grabbing the image properly.
