Summary

Analyze keywords

Converts an image to PNG before showing the Save As dialog.

WebP is a new image format developed by Google. These images are small, but their format is not widely recognized yet. By converting the image to PNG, you will be able to use it in image editing programs, and/or upload it to online image hosting sites such as imgur.

The extension has a low footprint: It does not use any memory or CPU unless you use it by clicking on the context menu option.

Original release date: 3 Augustus 2013.

Update (4 January 2014): If you use Chrome 30 or lower, then you cannot save the image from some web sites (such as the Chrome Web Store). Update to Chrome 31 for an optimal user experience.

Notice (30 June 2014): Chrome 35 on KDE (Linux) has a bug that causes Chrome to crash whenever the Save As dialog is opened by an extension. Downgrade to Chrome 34 or upgrade to Chrome 36 to solve the problem.

Update (2 June 2024): Manifest Version 3 and improved cookie / network partitioning and cache reuse.

Works great when it can grab images - but we need an option to select a different default folder (like "last used") instead of it always selecting where it wants to save.

Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn

For what it is, this extension is not bad. I ended up using another one though called "Image Save As" because it supported more file formats for saving such as, JPG and WEBP.
