Not able to reproduce this. I’m not sure if anything remains after the iend. But the file size does become smaller. I have windows 10. Edit: tried this with snip and sketch. Also tried it with snipping tool. Fwiw, the latter results in a smaller file size.

win10 snipping tool is not vulnerable, but "snip and sketch" is. > Fwiw, the latter results in a smaller file size. Implying the former does not result in smaller file size? If so, you've reproduced the vuln.

  Snip and Sketch sucks compared to the snipping too. It makes me very sad that they are going to take it away. The animations are terrible and I hate that I have to click on a notification to actually open the window.

  This is why I have on Win11 kept my whole System32 folder, so I can use older versions of some tools before they were bloated crap. Win10 snipping tool: From my cold, dead hands.

  Weird. If I take a screenshot with Snip & Sketch on Win10 and save it (full.png) - then in S&S crop a small portion of it and save it (crop.png) there is a significant file size difference between full.png and crop.png.

    If you save a new file with a new name, you won't trigger the bug.

Yesterday I tryed to make PDFs smaller by "save as" or "print as PDF". They just got larger each time (up to 3x larger).

  Sounds like you rasterized the pdfs.

    Or re-compressed all JPEGs. Especially Print to PDF probably has no hope of ever being particularly efficient, as it's re-encoding things that have already been processed for printing.

On W10 I’m prompted every time I use Snipping tool to “try snip and sketch” instead. I wonder if they’ll pull this message with the vulnerability?

  It seems more likely they would patch the issue in Snip and Sketch than patch the message.
