Description from store
WebP / Avif image Converter: convert, download and store images from the web just the way you want.
How does it work?
After downloading the extension you get a new button *Convert and Save image as* in the image context menu (When you right click on an image). Now the image is being processed and downloaded based on your preferences. Conversion to JPG, PNG and WebP are supported.
These preferences can be set in the option menu that you can reach by clicking on the extensions’ browser button located on the top right of your browser next to the address bar.
Note that the "browser button" may be hidden. If you want to quickly change the settings pin it to your extension bar. This can be done by clicking on the "extension" (looks like a puzzle piece) next to the hamburger menu / user login. Find the button and click on "pin".
What can you configure?
* Image conversion types
For each image type you can select if and to what image type it is supposed to be converted to. (JPG, PNG or WebP).
* Download location
To keep downloads sorted you can specify your preferred download location and filename. The Download location and filenames can include information of the time and date of downloading, image origin and image format. The exact details can be found in the extension.
Note that download locations are always relative to your download folder.
* Actions (Advanced section)
You can change the default autodetect behavior into a fixed task without changing your autodetect settings. This can be useful when you temporarily only want to download images without converting them yet but still want to store them on the specified location. Or if you only want to download PNG files for example.
* Popup layout (Advanced section)
For quick access specify which tab you want to open by default.
* Generic (Advanced section)
To optimize your workflow you can turn off the popup that suggests download location and filename.
Faq
* The image that was downloaded and converted did not converted to the intended filetype.
Webp /Avif image converter uses the actual file data to determine the file type not the url.
Therefor, you may experience that a conversion may be different than what you may expect if you look at the url.
Also file extensions are corrected to the appropriate extension in these cases if you turned off conversion for the specific file type.
* The extension does not converts the image but gives back a .htm file and/or filenames that do not reflect the original filename.
Please make sure other extensions are not intervening with the download process, for example download managers. Webp /Avif image converter uses a different route to download the (converted) image than the regular "save as" function. This route may lead to conflicts with some download managers and producing unexpected results.
Permission justification
* storage: Allows the extension to save your settings.
* downloads: Allows the extension to initiate a file download for the converted image.
* contextMenus: Allows the extension to add the "convert and save" button to the image contextmenu
* <all_urls>: Allows the extension to download the image before converting the it.

- (2025-06-06) Nasim Reza: It is not working anymore.
- (2025-04-13) Xyber Vox: Works as it should. Despite what I'm reading from others, it does prompt and allow you to save where you want. (Maybe it has been updated). Thank you for this useful tool. Saves the hassle/time of having to convert on a website.
- (2025-04-08) Stacey Cummings: Today trying to save images and they are defaulting to webp. Why? That might be fine for web development but if you want to save an image, you probably want detail and resolution not a 20kb file. Had to try three different convertors. This one works as of 4/8/2025. Reason for 4 stars, it doesn't remember where you saved the last image, so now have an added step of putting them in the down load folder and then copying them to a specific folder.
- (2025-03-10) B Bennett: Does the job but lacks the basic setting to not save to the default dl location as the default location. WEBP is a cancer but the ability to have last saved location as the save location it defaults to is kinda the standard and kinda what we need... As an aside anyone who uses webp intentionally should minecraft themselves, storage space is ever increasing, making/using a worse file format for space (in images especially) is the most hitlerian idea ever.
- (2025-03-05) Dunia Sejarah: Really usefull, thanks
- (2025-03-02) Liam H: It does the thing
- (2025-02-23) Keijo Lange: Does NOT convert .webp anymore.
- (2024-10-31) User Unknown: Everytime I try to download something, it always pre-selects the default download folder of my browser, instead of the folder where I last saved to. Incredibly annoying.
- (2024-10-16) Francisco Polin: A fantastic Application that has saved me a TON of time!
- (2024-10-15) Marfield Bautista: Very good
- (2024-10-07) Bhanu Pratap: from last 1-2 weeks, whenever I try to use this ext. it crash. Please solve this issue
- (2024-10-06) Bill Muddiman: I LOVE this extension! I use it every day & it is a huge time saver! I have a (hopefully) small request that would make it even better for me. For JPG/JPEG files, add the option to convert JPEG to JPG. It would make it easier to know if the pic already exists as JPG & easier when searching my PC for filetypes.
- (2024-09-29) Patrik Mojžíš: Really helpful, speeds up the process and works perfectly .
- (2024-09-25) Captain Lasky: When it once worked, it was absolutely stellar. It's so disappointing finding some image I needed saved as a webp. However, it's since broken and when I try to use it, it crashes the browser. Perhaps using Brave has something to do with it? It just runs better than Chrome on my PC. It would be nice if it could get an update, it's too good to not have. Edit: I just saw the comment by the developer, I hope the Brave devs can resolve this perhaps
- (2024-09-25) Armand Salmon: Fantastic extension once configured... would like to see download options include ability to remember last folder when set to 'save as' specific directory instead of default downloads folder. I have to change each time. Unfortunate that this does not work in Brave as I (and my organization) are switching away from Chrome due to how many extensions are being deprecated. I hope Brave can resolve this soon.
- (2024-09-24) The Gaming Gazimon: absolutely loved it, used it frequently but it recently broke and now crashes my browser when i attempt to use it another review mentioned a similar issue and that a reinstall fixed it, but that did not help in this case wish i could rate it higher

- (2024-05-13) S F: I love this addon, it works great except for...... I would love it even more if it behaved like the FF version and downloaded to the previous folder I downloaded to, instead of always going to the download folder and forcing me to navigate to the proper folder, this is very time consuming so I usually only use this in FF
- (2024-04-18) Milan: My favourite addon! is is possible to put 'Convert and save images as' button above 'Open images in new tab' button ?? that would be more intuitive to use. Thanks !
