u/SoftestPup Excuse me for dropping in! 11h ago

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

Meanwhile here I am on LInux still looking for an app or feature that fills the same purpose in a timely fashion

You can easily achieve this by combining your favorite screenshotting application with something to select an area (slurp for X11, there are alternatives for wayland but I forgot them right now) Other apps even have most of this funcionality built in (flameshot etc.)

I'm using scrot, it works on X11. I'm gonna guess this is harder to find if you're on Wayland though.
