Save Image As PNG
Description from store

Converts an image to PNG before showing the Save As dialog.

WebP is a new image format developed by Google. These images are small, but their format is not widely recognized yet. By converting the image to PNG, you will be able to use it in image editing programs, and/or upload it to online image hosting sites such as imgur.

The extension has a low footprint: It does not use any memory or CPU unless you use it by clicking on the context menu option.

Original release date: 3 Augustus 2013.

Update (4 January 2014): If you use Chrome 30 or lower, then you cannot save the image from some web sites (such as the Chrome Web Store). Update to Chrome 31 for an optimal user experience.

Notice (30 June 2014): Chrome 35 on KDE (Linux) has a bug that causes Chrome to crash whenever the Save As dialog is opened by an extension. Downgrade to Chrome 34 or upgrade to Chrome 36 to solve the problem.

Update (2 June 2024): Manifest Version 3 and improved cookie / network partitioning and cache reuse.

This will save me precious hours, thanks a lot!

EnigmaticRPG 2025-08-16

Wonderful. Works perfectly. I'm sick of literal png's being saved as webm, just because google decided it knew better. My only gripe is it not always working in incognito, toggled on or not. The option just removes itself sometimes.

Keith Decker 2025-07-30

Awesome. So glad this extension exists to undo the awfulness of how companies have been forcing us to download less usable file formats instead of simple PNG images.

Fabiian L. 2025-07-28

For some strange reason, extension does now work inside a inPrivate window even when enabled.

sid 2025-07-24

great and simple , a easy 5 stars

Kitty Kam 2025-07-22

Worked great. Now it does not work at all. Uninstalled & reinstalled. Nothing. Won't even pop up to save the images. So annoying.

S. G. 2025-07-08

Works like it should. But it would be great if you could make it so that it remembers the last Folder i saved to, instead of always going back to the regular Download Folder

nice

Cthulhu's Cousin 2025-07-04

The files become too heavy. x10 the increase. 300kb becomes 3mb.

The Cat Pilot 2025-06-06

Upset at Google that they don't allow you to save as PNG or JPEGS, God I miss Mac's

Monke 2025-06-01

Life saver, would recommend to others

Arvid Linde 2025-05-29

This is a life-saver, thanks for building this extension. Reviewers who say it doesn't work - if you can't handle an extension this simple, you probably shouldn't be using a computer at all.

Flame Boii 2025-05-15

Works pretty goodly for me, I'm on opera gx

Suzanne Blanchard 2025-05-04

Worked great and was a 5. Now does not work at all. Uninstalled & reinstalled. Nothing.

Hopper Addams 2025-04-20

holy moly this works great

Jake Geddes 2025-03-28

It works as intended but put a pop up on every tab open asking me to leave a rating, which kinda sucks.

Sus 2025-03-28

Great extension, no ads and unlimited usage, and super convenient.

Royce Benda 2025-03-20

Does nothing

S 2025-03-20

Does what it advertises, allows users to quickly bypass google's BRAINDEAD choice to promote their cancerous and useless webp format.

Orange Bandit 2025-03-13

Works perfectly and is super convenient

Parker Borchers 2025-03-09

I had been using a different extension, but it eventually tried forcing me to pay money. This extension is basically perfect in comparison. No problems and I would donate money to the developer.

paperboathat 2025-02-23

I use Opera GX as my browser, and I've never had issues with this extension. It's nice, simple, and of course, works like a charm.

Tai Nguyen 2025-02-21

It's very good but better if it can keep the original filename instead of "image.png"

Hot bites 2025-02-18

Good

A M 2025-02-01

I hate .webp This extension is great Thank you

Kate Awesome 2025-01-26

Useful for anyone who got annoyed about having the images saved as WEBP file instead. Also the extension sucks! Since it gives me an error on Planet Minecraft for no reason! I'm using a different one!

Needed this when saving webP, very simple, works just as name suggests. No fuss, no muss.

Karissa Skirmont 2024-12-26

I echo what others have written. Very frustrated to have the "destination folder" default to the "Downloads folder" rather than the last folder that was saved to.

Ohad Aviv 2024-12-18

not always working, found this one that works like a dream https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/save-as-image-converter/pdadeigadaobnnoknpacdmoidalfbeno

Meiron Rajbhandari 2024-09-27

IT USED TO CRASH BEFORE BUT NOW IT START WORKING AGAIN THANKS

K 2024-09-26

Used to be great. Then it broke.

Virgil Tracy 2024-09-25

annoying that google saves most images as a webp now this fixes it!

Gabriel The Mainer 2024-09-25

Formerly worked very well -- but as of recently, it just instantly crashes both Microsoft Edge and Brave.

B K 2024-09-24

Does not work :(

Liam Edwards (Liam Edwards) 2024-09-24

Back when it worked, this extension was fantastic and super helpful - albeit lacking the ability to set your own default save location, rather than "Downloads" or to remember the last save location used. As of a week or so ago, it now just crashes Brave browser whenever it's selected. Hopefully it's fixed soon!

Jone 2024-09-24

I don't wanna 1 star because this extension has been a lifesaver for so long. But yeah something must have changed because it no longer works and just crashes my browser (Brave)

Molly Whuppie 2024-09-23

No longer works, just crashes the browser. Not sure if this is a extension issue or a Brave issue, but either way it doesn't work right now.

Rie Mahesvara 2024-09-22

no longer works on brave bottom text edit: it seems like the issue is on brave browser itself rather than the extension, i tried another similar ext and it doesn't work as well

Secret Name 2024-09-21

As of writing this it has stopped working on Brave browser. Still works on Chrome though.
