for my use cases of memes or a PowerPoint type thing once in a while for school. Literally any image format works for me. I don’t care about quality (as long as it’s not REALLY bad) and just want to get the image from Google to the PowerPoint, and somehow GOOGLES own image format fails to work for GOOGLES PowerPoint product.
I don’t understand how you can not support your own format 10 years after it came out.
pro tip by the way, you can open it in Microsoft paint then “save as -> .PNG” to get Google slides/whatever to accept it.
(before someone recommends alternatives, im talking about use on a locked down school computer. I can’t use alternative software that’s better because they block images in WIKIPEDIA, no shot for using an actual foss software lmao)
True, but I’ll wager most of the things people are filching for these purposes get displayed on the screen at 100% scale anyway. Unless you’re sniping a picture for large format print, in which case I figure you’d probably be under less restrictive conditions… Hopefully.

You don’t even have to open it in Microsoft paint, you can just save it as a new format from the standard image viewer software.
Shift + Win + S
I’ll bet they didn’t disable that in Group Policy. Lasso that sumbitch right off your screen and then just paste it into whatever.
Paint trick would leave the option for higher quality, a screen grab leaves you at screen grab resolution.

Plus, it makes a bunch of users resort to adding extensions to their browser such as
“Save webP as PNG or JPEG 1.5.4”
which is fine but absolutely not as secure as without extensions.
Ask your boss if you can install GIMP
