How can I make this image into a .png url?

I used to be able to just grab the image and slide it up to the address bar. Im no longer able to do that. How can I get it to be a .png url so I can upload my screenshots to TTG?

Lightshot is forcing users to the landing page for ad revenue.

The direct link isn't very friendly anymore, either.

I've also wondered the same as Ethan. I am also noob and have no idea how you still made it into the .png like it used to be. Could you explain or please point me in the right direction where I can find out myself? I use lightshot all the time and it's better having images rather than links

Thanks in advance

Lightshot uses the "pointer-events" CSS property to make it so you can't easily get to the direct link of the image.

Right-click the image, click inspect element, click the "no-click screenshot-image" element in the side bar that opens, and un-check pointer-events under no-click in the style pane. This will let you interact with the image.

You can use a user script to turn this property off. Personally, I'd pay two bucks for GreenShot.

r00t, I was looking at Greenshot and saw it was two dollars. It used to be free when I had a Windows laptop a few years back Oh well, I will probably end up paying for it because it also allows you to directly upload to imgur.

Thanks for the advice!
