User Reviews

Users find the add-on convenient for quickly saving images in different formats, boosting workflow efficiency. However, it frequently fails to truly convert (renaming extensions instead), exhibits inconsistent/broken behavior across devices, offers no quality or save-location controls, and has some UI quirks. Overall sentiment is mixed: useful when it works, but reliability and control issues limit its practicality for regular use.

Pros

Converts images to a different format directly from the context menu (PNG/JPG/WebP) rather than just renaming extensions.
Saves time and streamlines workflow by avoiding manual formatting changes.
Easy right-click/context menu to pick the desired target format.
Useful for avoiding WebP/JPEG compatibility issues in some programs.
Supports multiple target formats, offering flexibility in how images are saved.

Cons

Often does not actually convert the image; it only changes the file extension, providing no real format benefits.
Inconsistent or broken behavior across devices and updates (default format not sticking; issues reappearing over time).
Quality issues and no option to control output quality (e.g., lower-quality JPEGs; no quality setting).
No control over save location or file name (files save to an unknown location; prompts for destination are missing).
UI/UX issues (icon visibility on light themes; minor naming/placement tweaks); some feature requests (e.g., copy to clipboard) indicate missing functionality.

Is Save image as Type Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Save image as Type requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Save image as Type is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
