Save Image As Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 6, 2026

Summary

Save Image As does not sell, transmit, or share user data with the developer or any third party.

The extension performs image conversion locally in the browser. It does not use analytics, telemetry, remote APIs, tracking pixels, CDN code, or remotely hosted JavaScript/WASM.

Data Handling

- The selected image URL is used only at the moment the user chooses a context menu action.

- The image is fetched in the extension context only to decode it, draw it to canvas, export it to the selected format, and pass the result to browser downloads.

- If the user enables background-image downloads, the extension scans the current tab for CSS background-image URLs only after the user clicks the toolbar icon.

- Background-image previews are loaded only when the user clicks the preview button for a specific item.

- The extension does not log browsing history.

- The extension does not send image URLs, image content, filenames, settings, or page data to any server.

- The extension does not read cookies and does not request the cookies permission.

Stored Settings

The extension stores only user preferences in chrome.storage.sync:

- JPG quality.

- WEBP quality.

- JPG background color for transparent pixels.

- Filename strategy.

- Whether to show the extension error page after a failed conversion.

- Whether CSS background-image downloads are enabled.

These settings are used only by the extension.

Permissions

- contextMenus: required to show "Save Image As" on images.

- downloads: required to save the converted image.

- storage: required to save user settings.

- scripting: required only for the optional CSS background-image feature. The extension injects a local content script after the user clicks the toolbar icon.

- Optional activeTab: requested only when the user enables CSS background-image downloads. It allows scanning the current tab after a toolbar click.

- Optional host permissions for http://*/* and https://*/*: used to request access to the exact image origin after a user action. The options page can also request or revoke optional access to all of these origins if the user explicitly chooses that convenience mode.

No mandatory <all_urls> host permission is used.

Chrome Web Store Data Disclosure Guidance

For Chrome Web Store privacy disclosures, treat the locally processed selected image URL/image bytes and optional background-image URLs as website content/resources handled for the extension's single purpose. This data is processed locally and is not transmitted to the developer or any external service.
