Overview
Save As Image Type is a browser extension that converts and saves images in different file formats. Your privacy is important to us.
Data Collection
This extension does not collect, store, transmit, or share any user data. Specifically:
- No personal information is collected
- No browsing history is tracked
- No analytics or telemetry data is sent
- No cookies are set
- No data is sent to any external server
How It Works
All image conversion is performed entirely locally within your browser. When you right-click an image and select a format:
- The image is drawn to an in-memory HTML Canvas element
- The canvas converts the image to your chosen format
- The browser's built-in download dialog opens for you to save the file
No image data ever leaves your browser during this process.
Permissions Explained
- contextMenus — Adds the "Save Image As…" option to your right-click menu
- downloads — Triggers the browser's save dialog with the converted image
- activeTab — Accesses the image on the current page when you right-click it
- scripting — Runs image conversion in the active tab
