Description

WebP / Avif image Converter: convert, download and store images from the web just the way you want. How does it work? After downloading the extension you get a new button *Convert and Save image as* in the image context menu (When you right click on an image). Now the image is being processed and downloaded based on your preferences. Conversion to JPG, PNG and WebP are supported. These preferences can be set in the option menu that you can reach by clicking on the extensions’ browser button located on the top right of your browser next to the address bar. Note that the "browser button" may be hidden. If you want to quickly change the settings pin it to your extension bar. This can be done by clicking on the "extension" (looks like a puzzle piece) next to the hamburger menu / user login. Find the button and click on "pin". What can you configure? * Image conversion types For each image type you can select if and to what image type it is supposed to be converted to. (JPG, PNG or WebP). * Download location To keep downloads sorted you can specify your preferred download location and filename. The Download location and filenames can include information of the time and date of downloading, image origin and image format. The exact details can be found in the extension. Note that download locations are always relative to your download folder. * Actions (Advanced section) You can change the default autodetect behavior into a fixed task without changing your autodetect settings. This can be useful when you temporarily only want to download images without converting them yet but still want to store them on the specified location. Or if you only want to download PNG files for example. * Popup layout (Advanced section) For quick access specify which tab you want to open by default. * Generic (Advanced section) To optimize your workflow you can turn off the popup that suggests download location and filename. Faq * The image that was downloaded and converted did not converted to the intended filetype. Webp /Avif image converter uses the actual file data to determine the file type not the url. Therefor, you may experience that a conversion may be different than what you may expect if you look at the url. Also file extensions are corrected to the appropriate extension in these cases if you turned off conversion for the specific file type. * The extension does not converts the image but gives back a .htm file and/or filenames that do not reflect the original filename. Please make sure other extensions are not intervening with the download process, for example download managers. Webp /Avif image converter uses a different route to download the (converted) image than the regular "save as" function. This route may lead to conflicts with some download managers and producing unexpected results. Permission justification * storage: Allows the extension to save your settings. * downloads: Allows the extension to initiate a file download for the converted image. * contextMenus: Allows the extension to add the "convert and save" button to the image contextmenu * <all_urls>: Allows the extension to download the image before converting the it.

Have used before and has worked great. Tried recently with ebay and zillow and no longer working at all. Tried different Chrome extension ("Save image as Type") and it worked fine with both of those sites.

No longer works and the developer seems to have abandoned it. (Tip: always look at the last updated date).

Everytime I try to download something, it always pre-selects the default download folder of my browser, instead of the folder where I last saved to. Incredibly annoying.

Since the latest Chrome and Brave updates, this extension has become inconsistent. It works intermittently but frequently fails to load or function correctly. I suspect the transition to Manifest V3 might be causing these regressions. Could the developer please look into a compatibility update?

Tries to convert webp to htm. Even though i set it to png or jpeg. Useless.

Love that it's just a simple one-button click, but the conversion quality is terrible.

Converts what are supposed to be JPG files to PNG, so still useless. Also, changes the filename from the original, which actually makes things worse.

No matter what extension I select in the options, it only saves as .htm

I add this to my Chrome browser and began getting redirected to advertisements on very well known and trusted sites (like ikea.com), anytime I was doing online shopping. This seems to be compromised. I will investigate further and update this if I find any additional information or if this report was in error.

Wants to save pictures as a HTML document. Useless

Doesnt save location - so doesnt really save any time as I am forced to navigate to the save folder each time. I could just save a snip in the same amount of time. Pointless.

No longer works for converting animated webp images to GIFs, will just save one frame as a png. Useless.

I installed it and it did not work at ALL. It would say convert and save but it would just open as if you directly clicked save image, so no conversion options.

Didn't seem to work, either in jpg or png. Made sure to right click "convert and save image as" no popup menu, and after changing settings to skip that, still won't do anything.

The whole reason I wanted this, is to convert animated .webp images to .gif. This doesn't do that, sadly. What a shame. I'd definitely give it another chance if it were to add that capability though!

Does the job but lacks the basic setting to not save to the default dl location as the default location. WEBP is a cancer but the ability to have last saved location as the save location it defaults to is kinda the standard and kinda what we need... As an aside anyone who uses webp intentionally should minecraft themselves, storage space is ever increasing, making/using a worse file format for space (in images especially) is the most hitlerian idea ever.

It works, but after downloading an image with the extension, the file breaks when I upload it online. It doesn't happen if I don't use the extension. I hope this can be fixed.

Good Lord, so it doesn't remember the last image location I saved to. I see it has not been fixed in a year so chances are it won't be. Too bad.

Great app when it works. Takes FOREVER to load the "Save as" box once it's been in use for a while. INCREDIBLY irritating feature

I love this addon, it works great except for...... I would love it even more if it behaved like the FF version and downloaded to the previous folder I downloaded to, instead of always going to the download folder and forcing me to navigate to the proper folder, this is very time consuming so I usually only use this in FF

it sadly seems to have stopped working suddenly. failed to work on 3 separate computers/several different websites when a few days it would.

Meh. Not helpful. Or at least for not me. It seems to have a huge amount of options. But the interface of the options is a bit clunky. Some of the tabs aren't fitting in all the text correctly. And so on. I appreciate the effort. And have no doubt this extension is useful to others.

Does what it says it'll do. However, I needed this specifically to download old images that were hosted on Photo Bucket and were embedded in forums. The embedded image has a Photo Bucket watermark, opening in a new tab doesn't. However, even when saving from a new tab where the watermark is gone, this extension somehow saves a copy with the watermark as if I hadn't opened it in a new tab. It became useless for my needs so I uninstalled it.

Was great, stopped working today - anything to do with glitchy google update?

Works with still images to png format but doesn't remember the last place you saved to, forcing re-navigation with every image, and doesn't add target folder to quick access shortcuts. Fails completely with animated webp images.

Needs support to create GIFs from animated WEBP files.
