## Description

Convert and download web images in the format you actually need. Save Image As adds a simple right-click menu that lets you export an image as PNG, JPG, or WebP without opening a separate editor or uploading the image to an online converter.

Choose PNG for lossless quality and transparency, JPG for broadly compatible photo files, or WebP for efficient modern compression. Adjustable JPG and WebP quality controls let you balance image quality and file size, and an optional Save As dialog gives you control over the destination and filename.

Save Image As processes images locally in your browser. It has no accounts, ads, analytics, tracking, or developer-operated servers.

The extension is open source and will remain open source.
