Save Image As...
Easily save images in your preferred format - PNG, JPG, WEBP, or AVIF!
The Problem
Ever found the perfect image online, only to discover it's in WEBP format when you try to download it? While WEBP is great for websites (smaller file size, faster loading), it's not always convenient when you need to:
Edit the image in older software that doesn't support WEBP
Share images with friends or family who use different devices
Include images in presentations or documents
Print images with the best quality
The Solution
This extension gives you control over how you save images. With a simple right-click, you can choose to save any image in your preferred format:
PNG: Perfect for screenshots, graphics with text, or when you need transparency
JPG: Ideal for photographs and when smaller file size matters
WEBP: Modern format with excellent compression and quality
AVIF: Next-generation format with superior compression (available on supported browsers)
How It Works
Right-click on any image you want to save
Select "Save Image As..." from the context menu
Choose your preferred format (PNG, JPG, WEBP, or AVIF)
Chrome's save dialog will appear, and your image will be converted on-the-fly
No complicated settings, no confusing options - just pick your format and save!
