Overview

🚀 The Secure, Modern Replacement You've Been Waiting For

Looking for a safe, reliable alternative to the removed "Save Image As Type" extension? You found it.
This is a clean, lightweight, and supercharged rebuild designed to be fast, privacy-focused, and capable of handling images that other extensions fail to download.

✨ WHY THIS EXTENSION IS BETTER:

• 🛡️ 100% Safe & Private: No tracking, no ads, no user hijacking. All conversions happen locally in your browser using secure Service Workers.
• 🆕 Supports AVIF: The only extension that converts to the latest AVIF format (superior compression) alongside PNG, JPG, and WebP.
• 🔓 Bypasses Site Restrictions: Uses an advanced "Anti-CORS" engine to download images from sites that block standard downloaders (like Twitter, Instagram, Weibo, Pixiv).
• 🌍 Smart Filenames: Perfectly preserves filenames in all languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.), unlike others that turn them into "_____.jpg".
• 🧠 Intelligent Conversion: Automatically adds a white background when saving transparent images as JPG (prevents the ugly black background bug found in other tools).

🔥 KEY FEATURES:

• Right-Click Simplicity: Just right-click any image and select "Save image as..."
• 4 Popular Formats:
- PNG: Lossless, supports transparency.
- JPG: Best for photos, auto-white background for transparency.
- WebP: Google's modern format for web.
- AVIF: Next-gen compression (New!).
• Lightning Fast: Built with WXT + OffscreenCanvas technology for zero-lag performance.
• No "Silent Failures": If an image can't be downloaded, we tell you why—we don't just do nothing.

🔧 TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS (For Geeks):

• Engine: Powered by Chrome's Manifest V3 & OffscreenCanvas API.
• Fallback Mechanism: If a direct fetch fails due to CORS, it automatically injects a lightweight content script to retrieve the image data securely.
• Privacy: Zero data collection. No external servers. Everything runs on your device.

🎯 PERFECT FOR:

• Designers: Grab assets in the exact format you need (including AVIF!).
• Developers: Quickly convert web images for your projects.
• Content Creators: Download high-quality references from protected sites.
• Everyone: Who wants a simple, working "Save As" button that doesn't spy on them.

💡 HOW TO USE:

1. Install the extension.
2. Right-click on any image on any website.
3. Hover over "Save Image As".
4. Choose your desired format (PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF).
5. Done!

🔒 PRIVACY PROMISE:
We believe software should be a tool, not a trap. This extension performs all image processing locally on your machine. We do not collect your browsing history, image data, or personal information.

Upgrade your browsing experience with the safe, modern standard for image saving.
