- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 17682403, 2 oeren lynI saw the prompt requesting clipboard access and instantly removed it.

Antwurd ûntwikkeler
ien dei lyn pleatstFair concern, permission prompts should never be silent surprises. Fully on me for not flagging it in the changelog.
Context: v1.3.0 added a "Copy image to clipboard" context-menu item (commit 2f9a5ec, P) to close issue #4. The
extension is open-source so the full diff is public. The actual clipboard code only writes an image — it never reads:
// src/offscreen/offscreen.js
const clipboardItem = new ClipboardItem({ [mimeType]: blob });
await navigator.clipboard.write([clipboardItem]);
Search the repo for clipboard.read or readText, you won't find a single call. The clipboardRead permission in the manifest was a mistake on my part (copy-pasted
alongside clipboardWrite) and was never used by any code path.
Since the feature is also unreliable on Firefox and is making people reasonably uneasy, I'm removing it entirely in the next release, both the feature and both clipboard permissions. The next version will ask for strictly fewer permissions than before. Sorry for the scare. - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Madison, 2 dagen lynuntil an actual explanation is given as to why something like this needs access to your clipboard, you should probably stay away from this addon, might have been compromised or sold

Makes no sense.

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch AziSlays, ien moanne lynThis add-on used to work. It used to actually download the files as the type you select. As of the last time I updated it, now it downloads them as whatever they are but just changes the file extension to the one you chose. For those unaware, that doesn't provide ANY of the benefits various file types would have. The big PNGs will still be just as big, the jpgs will still have artifacting, and the webps will still not function in many programs.
Literally all you had to do was make no changes to the add-on and it would have stayed good. wth manAntwurd ûntwikkeler
ien moanne lyn pleatstHey, thanks for the report, you were right, it was broken. Just pushed a fix, update the extension and it should properly convert the files again. Sorry about that! - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Gwiki, 2 moannen lynBeen using this for a long time and its been great. Saves me a lot of time and keeps my workflow smooth.
However, I m facing an issue on two different devices. Even though I’ve set the default format to JPG, some images still download as PNG. If I open the extension settings and reselect JPG and save or reset the settings.. it works again, but after some time.. the same problem returns. I have set JPG as default and disabled the “view in store” option. - Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Yondu, 2 moannen lynWell add-on is indeed working but there is an issue. It saves file in jpg in lower quality then in webp. And there no option to regulate quality.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 19726559, 3 moannen lynThe fact you need this for basic functions in 2026 is embarrassing for Firefox/Chrome but thank goodness it exists.

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch bigchees, 3 moannen lynEDIT: I was dumb and just needed to update my browser, works perfectly
Used to work fine, but now just saves images as completely blank pngs. Even after I updated - Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Venombeyond, 3 moannen lyn
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch rado84, 3 moannen lynWorks perfectly! With this extension I can retire the JPEG format completely - no more JPEGs on my computer.
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch JollyOldFecker, 4 moannen lynGreat extension does exactly what it is meant to.
A great addition would be the option to select the save location. - Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 11735070, 4 moannen lyn

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch kevinz, 5 moannen lynWorks as described. You can save images that are otherwise in webp to jpg or png. It converts the image type and saves it to your download folder.
My only complaint is it doesn't ask you where you want to save or name your image file. That would be a major plus. Otherwise this extension works wondersAntwurd ûntwikkeler
4 moannen lyn pleatstThanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, browser extensions can't prompt users to choose where to save files or rename them - they can only save directly to the Downloads folder. This is a limitation of how extensions work, not something I can change. I wish I could add this feature, but it's not technically possible ATM. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Darwin4Ever, 5 moannen lynIt would be great (handier) if the Context-menu item would be "Save Image as Type" instead "Save image as" (which is also the name of the regular Save Image). "Save Image as Type" is also how it's identified in Chrome and mentioned in the "How to use". Installed version : 1.1.4
Because the Icon is White, it is not visible in the Context-Menu which is White too. Better would be to use the version as used at the top of the Addon-page in the StoreAntwurd ûntwikkeler
4 moannen lyn pleatstThanks for the feedback! I'll fix both the menu name and the white icon issue asap just busy with work at the moment. Appreciate it! - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Brent, 5 moannen lynThanks for the extension, it's irritating to manually having to convert webp files to png, also is there an extension like this but for mpeg and mp3 or wav files instead?
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Q クィール(^ω^), 6 moannen lynWorks perfectly fine, i can do everything as PNG now
