Can't copy to clipboard, copies string instead

I can save screenshots just fine, but I can't copy them to the clipboard using maim -s | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png

It does work I guess, but incorrectly. It just pastes a long set of characters so it's useless.

I'm on manjaro i3, using the latest version from the AUR (not git)

Same issue here, using maim v3.4.47 on i3 v4.16.1. This seems to work though:

maim -s --format png /dev/stdout | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
