To save images from the Internet, the common procedure is to press on them with the right button and click on " Save image as ". This procedure may not work if the right mouse button is disabled on a particular site.
In addition, the " save image as " is useful in case you need to save a photo or image from the internet but it does not work to save an entire window or the whole screen.
A very small Windows tool allows you to add an option to the right mouse button of Windows with the word " Paste from Clipboard " which means " paste image from clipboard ".
This simple option solves all problems and allows you to save images and screenshots from the Internet quickly and quickly.
The program is called Screenshot2Disk and, after installation, asks to add the " paste image " option to the right-click menu.
You can then press the Add button and close the small program window that has no other options.
Then open any folder, right click on the empty space and verify that the option " Paste clipboard-image here " appears.
Now, to save an image taken from the Internet on your computer, even if the "save image as" option does not appear, you can simply press " Copy ", open a folder, right click and choose the new option " paste image "to create the file saved on your computer .
If the right button on a site is disabled or if you want to save an entire screen as an image, you can press the " stamp " key on the keyboard and then paste it in a folder to save the screenshot as an image.
The same procedure works on Windows for any program and just press the " Alt-Stamp " key combination to save the screenshot not of the entire screen but only of the active window.
Screenshot2Disk saves images in PNG format and, hopefully, the option to save image files in JPG that takes up less space will soon be added.
To convert images to JPG, remember that the simplest program is always Irfanview, with which you just have to open the file and save it by changing the extension.
Another limitation of this small tool is that the " paste image " option does not appear in Windows 7 collections.
Personally, I found this small plugin for Windows very useful because, until today, when I needed to save screenshots or screens using the Stamp button, I had to paste it into Irfanview and then save it.
Of course there are other options to take advantage of the clipboard memory (copy and paste) to store multiple files, images and texts and reuse them even after a certain period of time.
