Built to replace something that broke trust
Save Image As Type converts web images to JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or PDF from the right-click menu. Every conversion runs on your own device. This page explains why that constraint is the whole point.
In March 2026, the original "Save Image As Type" Chrome extension, used by over 1 million people, was removed from the Chrome Web Store after it was discovered to be injecting its own affiliate links from 578 identifiable sites into users' browsers.
That left millions of people without a trusted tool for a genuinely simple task: saving a web image in a different format.
This is a completely new extension, built from scratch. It shares nothing with the original but the job it does.
How it works
Right-click an image, pick a format, and the extension converts it with your browser's built-in Canvas API. The entire process happens on your device.
- No external servers involved in image conversion
- No image data is ever uploaded
- No transmission of your browsing history
- No affiliate link injection
- No selling or monetization of user behavior
What is and is not collected
Stated in full rather than summarised, because a vague privacy claim is worth nothing.
Never collected
Your images, personal information, or any identifying data. Your images themselves never leave your device.
Anonymous analytics
Anonymous usage events go to Google Analytics: which format was used and whether a conversion succeeded. If a conversion fails, the event also includes the bare hostname of the image (never the full URL, and never for data: or blob: images) plus a short diagnostic message, so the sites that break it can be found and fixed. Every event also carries your browser, your operating system family and the extension version. Events are tied to a random ID, never your identity, and the Firefox build ships with no analytics code at all. You can turn analytics off anytime in the extension's settings.
Local save history
Off by default. If you turn it on in the extension's settings, it keeps a device-only log of each save (the image's URL, format, file size, and time) so you can find it again later. It is never transmitted anywhere, and turning the setting off clears it.

Where it runs
Chrome and Firefox both on Manifest V3. Edge is Chromium-based and uses the Chrome build.
