About this extension
Save Image As Type — the fastest way to save and convert any web image to JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF, directly from your right-click context menu.
No more downloading a WebP file and converting it separately. Right-click any image on the web, pick your format, done.
🔧 FEATURES
🔒 PRIVACY-FIRST
❓ WHY THIS EXTENSION?
The original "Save Image As Type" extension (1M+ users) was removed from the Chrome Web Store in March 2026 after it was caught injecting hidden affiliate links and scraping browsing data. Several copycat extensions were found doing the same thing.
This is a clean, independent replacement — built from scratch with zero recycled code.
✅ Minimal permissions — only what's strictly needed
✅ No content scripts injected into your pages
✅ No network requests to external servers — ever
