## Description

Image Saver is a lightweight Chrome extension that enhances your browsing experience by allowing you to save images directly from any webpage with a simple right-click. Unlike standard save options, it supports saving SVG elements, CSS background images, and direct child images that are typically not accessible for download.

With this extension, you'll have a convenient context menu entry enabling you to save images or convert them to data URLs effortlessly. It's a perfect tool for designers, developers, or anyone who wants quick access to images on the web that are otherwise difficult to save.

## Review summary

Users praise Image Saver for SVG support, a simple lightweight UI, and handling some awkward formats. Major complaints, repeated across reviews, are unreliability (addon often doesn’t appear or work on many sites), limited value when it only saves images already downloadable, and usability requests for one‑click saving and keyboard shortcuts.

### Pros

- Downloads SVGs reliably (including some 'stingy' SVGs)
- Simple, lightweight UI/UX — easy right‑click workflow
- Works for some otherwise awkward formats (e.g., .webp) and on sites that allow it

### Cons

- Unreliable on many sites — several users report the addon doesn’t work or the context‑menu item doesn’t appear
- Often only works where regular "Save image" already works; fails on tiled/protected images or complex viewers
- Adds a submenu/extra clicks; users request one‑click saving and keyboard shortcuts
