Privacy Policy — Safe Image Converter

Last updated: April 16, 2026

Summary

Safe Image Converter does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data or user information. There are no analytics, no telemetry, no accounts, and no developer-controlled servers. The only network requests the extension makes are direct requests to the image URLs on the sites where you use it.

Data Collection

We collect no data. The extension does not:

Record your browsing history or the pages you visit
Store or transmit any images you convert
Collect your name, email address, or any identifying information
Use analytics SDKs, crash reporting services, or third-party tracking
Create or require a user account
Communicate with any server operated by the developer
Send your temporary source-candidate cache anywhere off your device

How the Extension Works

When you right-click an image and choose one of the extension's actions, the extension:

Reads the displayed image URL from Chrome's context menu event and, on supported pages, captures likely source-image candidates from the image element you clicked.
Fetches the best available image URL directly from the site you are using. This fetch is the only network request the extension makes.
Passes the image bytes to a hidden offscreen document where they are drawn onto an HTML Canvas element and converted. Depending on the action you choose, the extension may remove a white/checker preview background or add a white/black fill behind transparency.
Saves the converted file to your Downloads folder using Chrome's built-in download API.

At no point is any image data sent to a developer server, a cloud service, or any third party.

Settings Storage

The extension stores a small amount of local state to make the product work:

chrome.storage.local: your selected default format, output quality setting, successful conversion count, and whether you dismissed the rate prompt
chrome.storage.session: a short-lived, per-tab cache of the displayed image URL and possible source-image candidates to improve matching when pages use previews or thumbnails

This data never leaves your device. The session cache is cleared automatically when tabs close or the cached entry becomes stale.

Permissions Explained

Permission	Why It Is Needed
`contextMenus`	Adds the image conversion and background actions to the right-click menu
`downloads`	Saves the converted image file to your Downloads folder
`notifications`	Shows an OS-level notification if a conversion fails
`offscreen`	Creates a hidden browser document for Canvas API conversion
`storage`	Stores your local preferences, counters, and short-lived per-tab source-candidate cache
`<all_urls>`	Allows the extension to fetch the image you clicked and read likely source-image candidates from the current page so preview images can resolve to better image URLs

Third Parties
