Looking for a "Save Image as Type" replacement?

The popular "Save Image as Type" extension was removed from the Chrome Web Store after reports of malware and unwanted behavior. If you relied on it to save images in the format you actually wanted, you're not alone — thousands of users are searching for a trustworthy alternative right now.

Safe Image Converter covers that core workflow and now adds direct background cleanup actions too. It was built with privacy and transparency as the foundation, and every line of code is focused solely on converting images locally — nothing else.

Safe Image Converter is a clean, independent replacement built from scratch. No tracking, no subscription, no catch.

How it works

Right-click any image

On any webpage, right-click an image to open the context menu. The extension adds save and background actions automatically.

Pick your format

Choose Save as PNG, JPG, or WebP, remove a white/checker background, or add a white/black background. The conversion happens instantly in your browser using the Canvas API.

Download instantly

Your browser downloads the converted file right away — named smartly from the original image filename.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

PNG, JPG & WebP

All three major web image formats supported. Save in whichever format suits your workflow.

Remove White / Checker Backgrounds

Turn plain white backgrounds or checkerboard previews into transparency with a single right-click action.

Add White or Black Backgrounds

Flatten transparent images onto a clean white or black backdrop when you need a JPG fast.

Better Source Matching

Tries the best available image URL first, which helps on preview-heavy pages like search results and galleries.

Adjustable Quality

Control JPG and WebP compression quality to balance file size against image fidelity.

No Account Needed

Install the free core extension and use it immediately. No signup, no login, no setup flow.

Privacy by design

Image conversion happens entirely inside your browser using the standard Canvas API. The extension fetches the image you click so it can draw it locally, and that is the only network request it makes. Your images are never uploaded, analyzed, or sent to any developer-controlled server.
