  QuickConvert is an image converter that runs in your browser toolbar. Image processing happens on your device using the browser's Canvas and bundled WebAssembly codecs.

  ### How it works
  
  1. Right-click any image on any webpage and choose "Convert with QuickConvert", or
  2. Drop files onto the popup, or click "Browse files"
  3. Pick a format, adjust quality, and click "Convert & Download".
  
  Batch mode converts multiple images at once and can download them as a single ZIP.
  
  ---
  
  ### Supported formats
  
  QuickConvert reads JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, and ICO files. You can convert to any of those formats plus PDF and SVG pass-through. HEIC/HEIF input and PDF output are available on the Lifetime tier.
  
  AVIF encoding uses a bundled WebAssembly codec for full on-device support.

  ### Where data goes
  
  Image bytes are processed on your device and are never uploaded to our servers. The extension makes two disclosed network requests:
  
  1. A one-time download of an AI model file from staticimgly.com, used only if you enable background removal. The model is cached locally after first use.
  2. A license check request to quickconvert-license.quickconvert.workers.dev, which sends only the email address you enter in Options to verify a Lifetime license. Not used on the Free tier.
  
  No image data, analytics, or tracking is sent to any server.

  QuickConvert lets you convert images directly in your browser — no uploads, no accounts, no waiting. Just right-click an image or drop files onto the popup and get a converted file in seconds.
  
  Everything happens on your device. Your images never leave your browser.

  ### How to use it
  
  There are two ways to convert an image:
  
  **From any webpage** — right-click an image and choose "Convert with QuickConvert". The converted file downloads automatically.
  
  **From your files** — click the toolbar icon, drop images onto the popup (or browse to select them), choose your output settings, and download.
  
  Batch mode lets you convert several images at once and save them together as a ZIP archive.

  ### What you can do
  
  - Convert between common web and print image formats
  - Remove image backgrounds — instantly with a fast on-device method, or with an AI model for complex photos (Lifetime tier)
  - Edit images before converting: crop, resize, and preview the before/after side by side
  - Adjust output quality with a slider
  - Keep the converter open in a side panel while you browse
  - Switch between dark and light themes

  ### Your privacy
  
  All image processing runs locally using your browser's built-in capabilities and bundled WebAssembly codecs. The extension makes only two disclosed network requests:
  
  1. A one-time download of an AI model file (only if you use background removal on a complex photo). The file is cached locally so it only downloads once.
  2. A license check when you activate a Lifetime purchase — this sends only the email address you enter in Settings. The Free tier makes no network requests at all.
  
  No image data, usage analytics, or personal information is ever collected or transmitted.
