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.

- (2023-08-28) Col. Hathi: Love that it's just a simple one-button click, but the conversion quality is terrible.
- (2023-08-27) gaklimited: The only image downloader that doesn't have a clunky pop-up. Quick and apt integration
- (2023-08-24) Michał: Great software, it only needs to remember the last directory the image was saved to as it constantly resets, minor inconvinience compared to what it offers.
- (2023-08-19) Alex R: Работает как описано, но включать это расширение в бразере надо когда нужен т.к. это расширение открывает отдельное окно с рекламой при запуске браузера.
- (2023-08-01) Chelsea Rose: a lifesaver, thank you sm...
- (2023-08-01) Alexia K: non compare la voce nel context menu quando si clicca tasto destro sull'immagine wepb... provato su sito shein che ha praticamente TUTTE le immagini in formato wepb.. inutile come altre estensioni simili purtroppo
- (2023-07-27) Drago: It's good! But I'd love a webp > gif option.

- (2023-07-12) T. N.: This extension is just what I needed, don't know why I didn't search for this sooner. Most the complaints I see here seem to stem from people who couldn't be bothered to open the extension's settings and cater it to their needs. So far I have no complaints, especially since it's free. Thank you.
- (2023-06-24) Gary Hill: Works exactly how I wanted it to, being able to just right click on images to make them jpg formats has been such a benefit for me. I'm glad this is around. Definitely recommend this to those that are looking for an easy way to save files in their intended format.
- (2023-06-05) Leonardo Salom: funciona de maravilla
- (2023-06-01) Alexy: лютий кайфік разрабчік сенкью вері бічь
- (2023-05-19) Пушистая Лисичка: не работает так же
- (2023-05-14) Andrew Anderson: Converts what are supposed to be JPG files to PNG, so still useless. Also, changes the filename from the original, which actually makes things worse.
- (2023-04-15) Matt Rosenman: Does exactly what it's supposed to! Saved these annoying .avif images as jpg which is perfect for my needs.
- (2023-04-12) Fryderyk Kukowski: Very cool but any chance for detecting .jfif images?
- (2023-04-08) somsher ali: I really love it. It was very helpful for me
- (2023-04-02) Justin Ellard: No matter what extension I select in the options, it only saves as .htm
- (2023-03-18) Maiko Martin: I add this to my Chrome browser and began getting redirected to advertisements on very well known and trusted sites (like ikea.com), anytime I was doing online shopping. This seems to be compromised. I will investigate further and update this if I find any additional information or if this report was in error.

- (2022-11-27) Maria Jose Baena: lo necesitaba para instagram que es donde baja en fotrmato webp pero en esa pagina no funciona
- (2022-11-24) The Raza: Works great. I download a lot of images, and it's incredibly annoying that half or more of them are .webp these days. That format is useless and has to be converted to be used for anything. This makes it simple. It is annoying that a download path isn't saved, but that's a minor thing compared to having to convert images yourself.
- (2022-11-11) eisen: noice

Plugin works flawlessly on other website, but it won't work/trigger on AliExpress listings. Hope this gets fixed, really love this extension! - (2023-05-14, v:1.2.8) Meko Van: Opens in Photoshop after download
Hello, This is fantastic in Brave browser, simple to use with many setting to choose. Just what I needed. My only issue is when I convert webp to jpg, it open automatically in Photoshop by default after download. I checked your settings and my browser settings. Autoplay is off. Any ideas? If yes, thanks, if not, still a great plug-in. :) - (2023-03-23, v:1.2.8) Juan Cubillos: No aparece más la aplicación en el menú desplegable
No aparece más la aplicación en el menú desplegable, por lo tanto no se puede usar - (2023-02-03, v:1.2.8) hkwildboy: Wrong Conversion
Even the choose to convert webp to jpg, the save to dailogue will only save as png! - (2022-12-28, v:1.2.8) Scott Squires: WebP / Avif image converter
This no longer appears to be working correctly in chrome. When I tried to convert webp files, it would only save as html files. Not as jpg or png as it did previously. - (2022-10-10, v:1.2.8) Patrick Delos Santos: Does not change filename
I tried everything but it still gives me the random alphanumeric for filenames (ex. f9e98c28-ff25-4c59-96b0-261c98b60ddd) - (2022-09-27, v:1.2.8) No Body: API?
Hi, does this extension use any API to convert the image or are they converted locally? - (2022-09-22, v:1.2.8) Manolis Dargakis: Unusual function
Hello Maybe you will find it weird but it would be very helpful for me if you add the option to convert jpg images to jpg again. There are many jpg formats out there that are not supported from some softwares. Thank you. - (2022-08-12, v:1.2.8) Alice Barbosa: Não consigo
Boa tarde! Como faço download? Não estou achando a opção. - (2022-07-21, v:1.2.8) Kevin Magill: I think it broke
I've had no issues with it till today now jpgs are saving as webps again - (2022-07-16, v:1.2.8) Paul Acevedo: Saves Files as Jfif even after I've selected Jpg as save file format in settings
This thing should be way more intuitive. It's very confusing. First, some kind of quick walkthrough is badly needed. Second, when I click to save and convert files, it's defaulting to Jfif even though I've selected Jpg on the extension's button. Please consider improving usability. - (2022-03-23, v:1.2.8) Lonfo Sbernecchia: doesn't remember last used folder
please add an option to remember the last used folder to save an image. - (2021-09-27, v:1.2.6) stéphane meermans: Webp

Hi can you please explain why it doesn't work ? I'm working with chrome - (2020-10-15, v:1.0.0) zhao bo: want to save the picture and rename it automatically
want to save the picture and rename it automatically,Every time you save a webp image, you have to rename it manually - (2020-09-27, v:1.0.0) Diego Alexander: don't it converts webp to gif??
This is what happens when you don't know anything about computing and still decide to work on it, you look like an idiot
