About Save image as Type

Save image as Type — Save Any Web Image as PNG, JPG, or WebP — Instantly, Privately, Locally ▶ TAKE CONTROL OF HOW YOU SAVE IMAGES FROM THE WEB Tired of downloading images in the wrong format? Frustrated by websites forcing WebP files on you when you need a PNG or JPG? Fed up with uploading your private images to shady online converters just to change a file format? Save image as Type puts you back in control. Right-click any image on any webpage and save it instantly as PNG, JPG, or WebP — converted on the spot, right inside your browser. No uploads. No servers. No nonsense. --- ▶ KEY FEATURES • Right-click context menu integration — A clean submenu appears whenever you right-click an image: "Save as PNG", "Save as JPG", "Save as WebP". Fast, familiar, frictionless. • True client-side conversion — Images are converted using the browser's own Canvas API. The conversion happens entirely inside your browser tab. Your images never leave your device. • Set your default format — Open the extension popup and pick your preferred format once. From then on, a single right-click is all you need — your chosen format is always ready to go. • Custom download subfolder — Specify a subfolder name (for example "Saved Images" or "Design Assets") and every image you save lands neatly in that folder inside your Downloads directory. No more hunting through a cluttered Downloads folder. • Works on any image, on any webpage — Product photos, blog illustrations, social media images, banners, WebP thumbnails — if you can see it, you can save it in the format you want. • Works 100% offline — No internet connection required for the conversion. Once the extension is installed, it works anywhere, anytime. • Lightweight and fast — No background processes, no memory bloat. The extension does nothing until you actually right-click an image. Zero idle resource usage. • No account, no sign-up, no setup — Install and go.

Ideal for photographs, product images, and anything you plan to share or upload to a platform that expects JPEG. ◉ WebP — Google's modern format offering excellent compression with quality retention.

Hover over "Save image as Type" to see the format submenu. 4. Click "Save as PNG", "Save as JPG", or "Save as WebP". 5.
