Three steps, one right-click

  1. 1

    Add it to Chrome

    One click on the Chrome Web Store. No account, nothing to set up.

  2. 2

    Right-click a picture

    On any website: a shop photo, a portrait for a form, an illustration in an article.

  3. 3

    Choose “Save image as JPEG”

    A moment later a normal JPEG is in your Downloads folder, under the picture's own name.

Forms that say “JPG only”

Visa, job and marketplace sites often refuse WebP and AVIF. Save the picture as JPEG and the upload goes through. The same file works for print shops, photo frames and email.

Logos and cut-outs

JPEG has no transparency. Where a careless conversion turns empty areas black, this one paints them white, so a logo or a product cut-out still looks right.

What it does

  • source formats

    WebP, AVIF, PNG, GIF, BMP and SVG, plus other pictures Chrome can show.

  • right-click

    The item sits in Chrome's own image menu. No new tab, no upload site, no editor.

  • Straight to Downloads

    The file keeps the picture's name: summer-dress.webp becomes summer-dress.jpeg.

  • Same size, high quality

    Width and height stay as in the original, and photos keep their detail and colours.

  • Behind a login

    If a picture only loads while you're signed in, the extension reads it through the page you have open. Pictures made by web apps (blob: and data: links) work too.

  • uploads

    The conversion runs in Chrome on your computer. Your pictures never go to a server.

Why Chrome saves pictures as WebP or AVIF

Chrome's “Save image as” keeps the file exactly as the site sent it. To load faster, most shops and news sites now send pictures as WebP, and newer ones as AVIF. So the file you save is often a .webp or an .avif, even when the page shows an ordinary photo.

Plenty of places still expect JPG: visa and job portals, marketplace listings, print shops, photo frames, older phones and office software. Save image as JPEG skips the converter step: it re-encodes the picture as a standard JPEG on your computer and saves it under its own name.

Private by design

  • No uploads

    Pictures are converted in Chrome on your computer. No server of ours ever sees them.

  • No tracking

    No analytics, no account. We don't know what you save.

  • Only what the job needs

    The menu item on pictures, downloads to save the file, reading the picture you clicked (through the page when it needs your login), a hidden page that draws SVG, and local storage for the rating reminder.

Questions

How do I save an image as JPG instead of WebP?

Add Save image as JPEG to Chrome, right-click the picture and choose “Save image as JPEG”. The file lands in your Downloads folder as a .jpeg, whatever format the site used.

Why do pictures save as WebP in Chrome?

Chrome saves the file the site sent, and most sites now send WebP or AVIF because they load faster. The picture looks the same on the page, but many forms and apps won't take the file.

How do I convert WebP or AVIF to JPG without an online converter?

Right-click the picture on the page and choose “Save image as JPEG”. The conversion runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and there is no waiting in a queue.

What happens to a transparent background?

JPEG can't store transparency, so the extension paints empty areas white before saving. Logos and cut-outs come out on clean white, not black.

Is there a quality or size setting?

No. Pictures are always saved at high quality, and the width and height stay as in the original. There is nothing to tune.

Does it work with GIF and SVG?

Yes. An animated GIF becomes a still JPEG of its first frame. SVG graphics are drawn at their own size and saved as a regular photo file.

Does it work in Edge, Brave or Opera?

Most Chromium browsers install extensions from the Chrome Web Store, including Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi. Firefox and Safari are not supported.

Is it free? Does it upload my pictures?

It's free and needs no account. Your pictures never leave your computer: the conversion happens inside Chrome.
