Save image as PNG

Stop fighting with WebP, AVIF, and other formats your tools cannot open. Save image as PNG adds a simple right-click menu item that converts any image on the web to PNG and downloads it instantly. One click. One universal format. Done.

Whether you are a designer collecting assets, a developer grabbing icons, a content creator building a mood board, or a researcher archiving visuals — Save image as PNG handles the conversion for you in milliseconds, entirely inside your browser, with zero data collection.

🎨 Features

One-Click Convert and Download — Right-click any image on any webpage and select "Save image as PNG." The image is converted to PNG format and saved to your Downloads folder immediately. No extra tabs, no dialogues, no waiting.

Works with Every Image Format — JPEG to PNG, WebP to PNG, AVIF to PNG, SVG to PNG, GIF to PNG, BMP to PNG, TIFF to PNG, even data URL images embedded directly in the page. If your browser can display it, Save image as PNG can convert it.

Clean Filenames Automatically — The extension extracts a meaningful filename from the original image URL. No more files named "download.webp" or "unnamed(4).jpg" cluttering your Downloads folder. You get organised, recognisable filenames with the .png extension every time.

Lightning-Fast Local Conversion — Image conversion happens entirely inside your browser in a fraction of a second. There is no upload, no server processing, no round trip. Even large, high-resolution images are converted almost instantly.

Lossless PNG Output — PNG uses lossless compression, so your saved images retain every pixel of detail from the original. No compression artefacts, no quality degradation, no surprises.

Zero Configuration — There are no settings to tweak, no preferences to configure, no accounts to create. Install the extension and it is ready to use immediately. The context menu item appears automatically when you right-click an image.

Works on Every Website — Social media platforms, stock photo libraries, news sites, blogs, documentation pages, web apps, image search results — if a page displays an image, you can save it as PNG.

Lightweight and Unobtrusive — The extension sits quietly in the background. No toolbar icons, no pop-ups interrupting your workflow, no browser slowdown. It only activates when you right-click an image and choose to save it.

✅ How It Works

1. Browse the web as you normally do
2. Find an image you want in PNG format
3. Right-click the image
4. Select "Save image as PNG" from the context menu
5. The PNG file appears in your Downloads folder — done

That is the entire process. No conversion websites to visit, no file pickers, no multi-step workflows. You go from seeing an image to having a PNG on your computer in about one second.

The extension handles everything behind the scenes: fetching the image, converting it to PNG regardless of the source format, generating a clean filename, and triggering the download.

🔒 Privacy and Security

Save image as PNG was built from the ground up with a strict zero-data-collection policy. Your images, your browsing activity, and your personal information are never collected, tracked, or shared.

Here is what that means in practice:

→ No analytics or telemetry of any kind
→ No data sent to external servers
→ No third-party scripts, libraries, or tracking pixels
→ No account required — no sign-up, no login, no email
→ No cookies, no fingerprinting, no usage profiling
→ All image conversion happens locally inside your browser
→ Images never leave your device during conversion
→ Every font, icon, and asset is bundled locally — the extension makes no external requests except to fetch the image you asked to save

The extension requests only the minimum permissions necessary:

→ Context menus — to add the "Save image as PNG" option to your right-click menu
→ Downloads — to save the converted PNG file to your computer
→ Host access — to fetch the original image data from the website serving it

No access to your browsing history. No access to your tabs. No background processes running when you are not using it. If privacy matters to you, Save image as PNG is the image converter you can trust.

⚡ Why PNG?

PNG is the universal image format. It is supported by every major operating system, every image editor, every document processor, every presentation tool, and every content management system. When you save an image as PNG, you know it will open — today, next year, and a decade from now.

Unlike WebP and AVIF, which prioritise small file sizes for web delivery but suffer from limited support in desktop applications, PNG is universally recognised. It supports full transparency (alpha channel), uses lossless compression so no detail is lost, and has been a trusted standard for over 25 years.
