Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I convert WebP or AVIF images?
Many websites serve images in modern formats like WebP or AVIF to save server bandwidth. However, many desktop editors, email clients, legacy operating systems, and document software cannot natively open or process these files. Converting them directly during the download step saves time and utility overhead.
Are my images processed on any remote server?
Absolutely not. The extension is built on zero telemetry parameters. All rendering, canvas manipulation, cropping, downscaling, and compression pipeline steps execute locally inside your sandboxed browser context.
How does the Batch Mode work on infinite-scroll pages?
Batch Mode scans the active DOM for all image elements, responsive picture sources, and CSS background images. It handles lazy-loaded attributes (like data-src, data-original, and srcset) automatically so you don't have to scroll through every single image manually.
Why does the extension require the "offscreen" permission?
Manifest V3 extensions utilize background service workers, which lack direct access to visual DOM elements like standard canvas tags. To compress or compile image data, we use Chrome's official offscreen API to run a silent local sandbox that has full canvas support.
Can I bypass CORS restrictions using this tool?
Yes. If a remote website rejects CORS image download requests, the extension automatically routes the request through a lightweight content-script fallback to fetch the target resource securely using the page's own origin permissions.

About the Creator & Extension

Save Image As Type was created to solve a common developer, designer, and general user frustration: downloading an image from the web only to realize it's saved in an incompatible format.

This extension was handcrafted with ❤️, endless cups of mint tea, and pure determination by Jalal Achkoune, a Computer Engineer based in sunny Morocco. Jalal got tired of downloading WebP images that refused to open in standard design software, throwing the infamous error: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

Instead of throwing his laptop out the window, Jalal took the developer's path: spent hours coding a tool to fix a problem that takes 3 seconds to bypass manually. You're welcome!
