About Save image as AVIF

Right-click any image on any webpage, select "Save image as AVIF," and download a beautifully compressed file instantly. No extra tools, no upload sites, no quality loss. Just right-click, convert, done.
Images on the web are getting bigger. High-resolution photos, detailed graphics, retina-ready assets — they all take up enormous disk space when saved in traditional formats. AVIF changes that completely. Dramatically smaller file sizes
AVIF compression is extraordinary. Expect files significantly smaller than traditional formats with no visible quality loss.

If your browser can display it, this extension can convert it to AVIF. Works with all common web formats and even inline data URL images.
→ Smart filename detection
The extension intelligently extracts the original filename from the image URL, so your downloaded files have clean, recognizable names instead of random strings of characters. The original file extension is automatically replaced with .avif for a tidy downloads folder.

📐 WHY AVIF?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is the most advanced image format available today. Here is why it matters:
→ Incredible compression
AVIF achieves file sizes that were previously impossible. A 5 MB PNG might become a 300 KB AVIF with virtually identical visual quality. A 2 MB JPEG might shrink to under 500 KB.
→ Superior image quality
At the same file size, AVIF consistently outperforms and even WebP. Fine details, smooth gradients, and complex color transitions all look noticeably better. No more banding, no more compression artifacts.
→ Wide and growing compatibility
AVIF is supported by all modern browsers, operating systems, image viewers, and design tools. It is production-ready and adopted by major platforms worldwide.
→ Better than WebP
AVIF goes beyond delivering 20-30% better compression at equivalent quality levels. AVIF is the true next-generation image format.
→ Future-proof
Built on the open, royalty-free AV1 codec and backed by every major technology company, AVIF is rapidly becoming the default format for images across the web.
🔒 PRIVACY AND SECURITY
Your privacy is not negotiable. Here is exactly what this extension does and does not do:
✔ All image conversion happens locally inside your browser
✔ Zero data is collected — no analytics, no tracking, no telemetry
✔ Zero external requests — the extension never contacts any server, ever
✔ No account required — no sign-up, no registration, no email address
✔ No ads — no banners, no pop-ups, no sponsored content
✔ No monetization schemes — no premium tiers, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases
The extension requests only the minimum permissions needed to function: access to the right-click context menu, the ability to read image data from the current page, and permission to trigger downloads. Nothing more, nothing less.
Your images stay on your computer. Your browsing habits remain private. No data ever leaves your device. Period.
