Save Image As PNG, by Rob W, adds one item to the right-click menu of every image. It converts the picture to PNG and then opens the Save As dialog, so a WebP you could not open in an editor arrives as a normal PNG. The extension first came out in August 2013. It has 400,000 users and a 4.0★ rating from 442 ratings, and its last update, version 1.0.3 on June 3, 2024, moved it to Manifest V3.
PixLasso has the same kind of right-click entry, with PNG, JPG and WebP to choose from, and adds a way to save every image on a page in one ZIP. This page compares the two so you can decide whether you need anything beyond what you have.
PixLasso is our product. Save Image As PNG is the work of its developer; we are not affiliated. Facts about it come from its public Chrome Web Store listing, checked 8/11/2026. The listing does not show the extension's permissions, so this page does not compare them.

If all you do is turn the odd WebP into a PNG, and the extension still works on the sites you use, keep it. It is free and very small, and according to its listing it uses no memory or CPU until you click its menu item. Its developer declares on the store that it collects no data. The Save As dialog on every save is handy if you file each picture in a different folder. Its 2024 update put it on the extension format Chrome requires today, so the age of the last update alone is no reason to replace it.
PixLasso does the same single-image job with more choice of output. You can pick JPG when a site only accepts JPG, or PNG when you need to keep transparency or avoid another round of lossy compression. It saves real .png and .jpg files (never .jfif), and the conversion runs on your computer, so the image is not uploaded anywhere. On shops and galleries that show a scaled-down copy, it first tries to fetch the original file, which often gives you a larger picture than the one on screen.
The other half of PixLasso is bulk saving: click its icon and every image on the page, or on all open tabs, downloads as one ZIP in page order. Free covers 30 files per batch with no daily limit. Pro (US$9.99 once) removes that limit and converts whole batches to JPG or PNG. PixLasso has no ads, no affiliate links and no tracking, and it asks for site access only the first time you convert an image.
Right-click conversion saves one frame, so an animated GIF becomes a still PNG. For free ways to convert WebP without any extension, see saving WebP as JPG in Chrome and Edge. If you used the removed Save Image as Type extension, this page covers that case.
