I also had that problem. So I changed my habits and am preparing all slides and figures not from the saved images anymore. Instead I export a PDF and convert it to a PNG using imageMagick (or illustrator, on windows). That has the advantage that the image quality is A LOT better and I won't go back to saving the image directly from the website anymore, as the PDF has bigger text and anti-aliasing.
