Right-click any picture on a web page and save it as a JPG, PNG or WebP file, or copy it as a PNG. The picture is converted on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account, no tracking and no adverts.
The full guide, with every step explained, is on TechyGeeksHome.
- Save image as JPG, PNG or WebP from the right-click menu on any picture, including WebP, AVIF, SVG, GIF, BMP and ICO pictures.
- Copy as PNG, ready to paste into a document, chat or image editor.
- Keeps the file name.
holiday-photo.webpsaves asholiday-photo.jpg. - Works with pictures that need the page, such as ones that only load for signed-in users or only when you are on the site, plus
data:andblob:pictures. - White background for JPG, so see-through parts of a PNG or WebP don't turn black.
- Sharp SVG pictures: drawn at least 1024 pixels across.
- Your settings: quality for JPG and WebP (default 92), and whether to ask where to save each file.
- Animated GIF and WebP pictures are saved as their first frame.
- CSS background pictures and drawings made with
<canvas>or inline<svg>don't have a right-click picture menu, so they can't be picked. - Some sites keep pictures on a separate server that blocks other apps from reading them. If a picture won't convert, open the options and click Allow under "Pictures from other sites". This is off until you turn it on.
- AVIF is read, not written. Browsers can't create AVIF files yet.

background.jsadds the right-click menu. When you pick an option it reads the picture: first straight from the website, then, if the site insists, from inside the page you are on, using the page's own cookies and address.data:pictures are read directly andblob:pictures are read from the page.convert.jschecks what the picture really is from its first bytes, draws it on a canvas and saves it in the format you picked. JPG gets a white background.- In Chrome and Edge the drawing happens in a hidden extension page (
offscreen.html,offscreen.js,offscreen-client.js), because the background script there has no page to draw SVG on. Firefox does it in its background page. - The file is saved with your browser's normal download, so it shows in your downloads list.

Image Format Saver only reads a picture when you right-click it and pick an option. The picture comes straight from the website to your computer and is converted there. It has no account, no analytics and sends nothing anywhere. The only things it stores are your two settings, on your own computer.
Image Format Saver is free and always will be. If it saved you some time, you can buy us a coffee on Ko-fi. Welcome, but never expected.
