Hey everyone! I'm trying to save an image currently in my clipboard on Windows 10 as a JPG using PowerShell 7. I've been looking into it but all the resources mention using Get-Clipboard with a -Format option for Image, which doesn't seem to exist in my version. I also have ffmpeg installed, but I'm unsure how to reference the clipboard image instead of a string. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I wrapped everything up with a script that I pieced together from the replies and some help from an LLM since I'm not too skilled in PowerShell yet. Here’s what worked for me:
```powershell
# Load the assembly for clipboard actions
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
# Get the image
$image = [System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::GetImage()
# Check for an image
if ($image -ne $null) {
$directory = "C:YourSavePath"
$filename = "image_$(Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMddHHmmss").jpg"
$filePath = Join-Path -Path $directory -ChildPath $filename
$image.Save($filePath)
Write-Output "Image saved to $filePath"
} else {
Write-Output "No image found in the clipboard."
}
```
Just replace `C:YourSavePath` with your desired save location.
It looks like the -Format parameter is only available in Windows PowerShell 5.1, which is a bummer since clipboard image handling isn't really supported cross-platform. For PowerShell 7, you can use .NET calls to access the clipboard image directly through the Windows clipboard class. Here's a simple way to do it:
```powershell
$image = [System.Windows.Clipboard]::GetImage()
```
Then, you can go ahead and save that image object as needed.
You can try this command first! It loads the necessary assembly and then gets the image:
```powershell
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$yourImage = [System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::GetImage()
```
This should work for you!
