Summary

Really simple extension to convert an image to a different format at download time. With the increase use of WebP on many sites it has become difficult to use the WebP images after they are downloaded do to the lack of support for the format in other programs. With this extension you can right click any image and "Save As JPEG" or PNG if you prefer. It can also save as WebP if you want to save same space.

Works when you restard chrome. Amazing add-on that finally gives me an easy solution to get around that webp format.

Works OK after restarting Chrome. Only complaint is that it doesn’t give an option of the save location — just dumps it in downloads. But… that’s ok. It’s easy to find them there. Definitely handy.
