  Convert and download any web image in seconds — right from your browser's context menu. Save Image as Type makes it effortless to grab pictures in the exact format you need: PNG, JPG, WebP, or PDF.
  
  🖼️ Save Image as Type is a Chrome extension that puts image conversion at your fingertips. Spot an image on any webpage and download it in your preferred format without leaving the page or opening a separate app. No sign-ups, no subscriptions, no detours — just fast, in-browser conversion.
  
  1️⃣ Setup: click "Add to Chrome" and follow the brief installation prompt.
  2️⃣ Browse: open any webpage that contains images.
  3️⃣ Target: right-click the image you want to download.
  4️⃣ Convert: a new entry appears in your context menu.
  5️⃣ Choose your format from the "Save image as type..." submenu:
  - Save as PNG — lossless format perfect for screenshots and graphics.
  - Save as JPG — compact file size ideal for photos and sharing.
  - Save as WebP — modern format combining quality and small footprint.
  - Save as PDF — wrap the image in a portable document ready for printing or archiving.
  6️⃣ Click your chosen format and the converted file downloads immediately to your device.
  
  🚀 Take control of how you collect images online — download exactly what you want, in exactly the format you need, without any friction.
  
  Fine-tune the extension to match your workflow through the settings page, accessible by clicking the toolbar icon. Two options are available:
  
  ➤ Prompt before saving: turn this on to choose the file name and destination folder each time you download. Keeps your files organized and prevents accidental overwrites.
  ➤ Per-image hover toolbar: enable a small action bar that appears directly on each image when you hover over it:
  
  - click any format button on the toolbar to instantly download that image in your chosen format,
  - the toolbar stays out of your way until you need it,
  - dismiss it at any time with a single click on the close button.
  
  ⚙️ What sets Save Image as Type apart:
  
  📌 Built on Manifest V3 — the latest Chrome extension platform — for maximum security and long-term compatibility.
  📌 Zero third-party trackers or analytics scripts; your browsing activity stays private.
  📌 Automatic silent updates so you always benefit from the latest improvements without lifting a finger.
  📌 Conversion happens locally in your browser, keeping your images off external servers.
  
  👥 Who benefits most:
  
  1. Content marketers and SEO professionals who routinely collect reference images from competitor sites and industry sources.
  2. Designers needing source imagery in specific formats for mockups, mood boards, or client presentations.
  3. Researchers and students building visual archives for projects, papers, or presentations.
  4. Document specialists who attach images to reports and need them wrapped in PDF format on the fly.
  5. Front-end developers prototyping with real-world assets pulled directly from live pages.
  6. Everyday users who want a cleaner, faster alternative to screenshot-and-crop whenever a download button is missing.
  Save Image as Type adapts to each of these use cases without extra configuration — install and it just works.
  
  🔗 Fits naturally into Chrome:
  Save Image as Type slots into your existing browser workflow without visual clutter. The context menu entry only appears when you right-click an image, keeping Chrome's interface clean everywhere else. Powerful when you need it, invisible when you don't.
  
  🔓 No account required:
  Open the extension and start converting straight away. There is no registration wall, no email verification, and no personal data collected. Your privacy is respected from the first click.
  
  🌍 Internationalization built in:
  Save Image as Type ships with support for multiple languages so users worldwide can read menus and settings in their native tongue. If your language isn't listed yet, reach out — we're always expanding coverage.
