If you see a Twitter post you want to share on TD, is there a way to save it as an image file for uploading?

alt-print screen on pc, copy to paint, crop accordingly, save and use imgur.com/upload (preferably with ublock origin enabled so no ads)

on android phone, drag 3 fingers down the screen to take screenshot, open 'imgur.com/upload' (in brave browser) and click 'show as desktop site' and then click 'browse to image' and upload it.

Snipping tool or snip & sketch would save the whole cropping in paint step since you just drag the area you want

while true; i do qa troubleshooting on a variety of PCs so it helps to be comfortable w/ using whats' built in instead of a 3rd party tool no matter how useful since these machines get wiped often to reset them. in addition our customers tend to lock down their user's pcs so when having them do screen captures they have to go w/ what's in the OS and cant install anything else.

This is how I do it now, was just wondering if there was some site that would do it by just inserting the URL.

Probably should start getting used to Snipping Tool then considering it's been in the OS for over 15 years baw
