✨ KEY FEATURES

Universal Format Support — Works with every image format you'll encounter: data URLs, and more. Whatever the source format, you get clean WEBP output every time.

Excellent Compression — WEBP produces files 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPEG and significantly smaller than PNG, while preserving visual quality virtually indistinguishable from the original.

Transparency Support — WEBP supports alpha channel transparency, making it a superior alternative to PNG for transparent backgrounds — at a fraction of the file size.

100% Local Processing — Every image conversion happens entirely inside your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server. A true offline image converter.

Zero Configuration — Install and start using immediately. No settings pages, no quality sliders. Works perfectly out of the box.

Smart Filename Extraction — The extension extracts the original filename from the image URL, so your downloaded WEBP files have meaningful names instead of random strings.

Lightweight and Fast — Minimal resource usage with no background processes when you're not actively converting.

🔄 HOW IT WORKS

1. Browse the web as you normally do.
2. Find an image you want to save as WEBP.
3. Right-click the image to open the context menu.
4. Click "Save image as WEBP."

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST

Your privacy isn't a feature — it's the foundation this extension is built on.

All image conversion is performed locally within your browser. The image data never leaves your machine. No external server calls, no cloud processing, no third-party services.

Save image as WEBP does NOT collect personal data, does NOT track browsing activity, does NOT use analytics or telemetry, does NOT phone home to any server, does NOT require an account, and does NOT store your images anywhere.

Zero data collection. Zero tracking. Zero analytics. Period.

Only minimum permissions are requested: the ability to display a context menu on images and to download files. Nothing more. Image conversion the way it should be — completely private, completely local, completely under your control.

🖼️ WHY WEBP?

WEBP is the modern image format developed by Google, engineered to make the web faster:

Superior Compression — WEBP files are 25-35% smaller than comparable JPEG images and up to 26% smaller than PNG, with no visible quality loss. Faster loading, less bandwidth, more storage space.

Transparency Without the Bloat — Unlike JPEG, WEBP supports alpha transparency. Unlike PNG, WEBP achieves it at dramatically smaller file sizes — often 3-5x smaller.

Both Lossy and Lossless — Use lossy compression for photographs where tiny quality trade-offs yield massive size savings, or lossless when you need pixel-perfect accuracy. One format, maximum flexibility.

Universal Web Standard — WEBP is the de facto standard for web images, recommended by Google PageSpeed Insights and other performance tools.

Animation Support — WEBP handles animated images more efficiently than GIF, with better quality and smaller sizes.

When you convert images to WEBP, you're choosing the format that delivers the best balance of quality, file size, and compatibility for the modern web.
