- Rated 5 out of 5by Ranger_2567, 15 days ago10/10 it just works as intended and has some cool options as PNG or JPG with a lower scale too super useful and convenient now that everything is a WebP
- Rated 3 out of 5by freshD, 19 days agoLove it, super useful, but downloading and copying to png often creates black bars at the right and bottom :c

posted 22 days agoThis extension is published under the Mozilla Public License, an open source license, and the code repository is at https://github.com/jscher2000/Save-webP-as-extension/. You also can review the code by right-clicking the "Add to Firefox" button and using Save Link As. The .xpi file is a ZIP archive, so you can extract it and read the files locally.
The reason such broad permissions are required is that many images are hosted on a different server, and Firefox doesn't provide a convenient way to prompt for permission to operate on embedded cross-site content. Maybe I can make a lower-permission version that only works with stand-alone images?
If you prefer an extension-free approach, you can emulate the way this extension works using Firefox's built-in screenshot feature. That usually downloads in PNG format, but occasionally it may use JPEG format.Developer response
posted 22 days agoOn all sites? I wonder whether you have a setting that conflicts with how this extension works. Generally speaking, it creates an HTML canvas the same size as the image and puts the image on the canvas, then extracts a blob object that it can save in your choice of formats. Similar to screenshotting. If you want to try some troubleshooting, you could use either contact method on the main listing page: (1) email, or (2) create an issue on Github.- Rated 5 out of 5by z1, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by cjdjkobe, 2 months agoI've been using this multiple times per day (Steam really hates webp and sometimes clip tool isn't sufficient) for years and love it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18205130, 4 months agoIt's work! But does't convert animated WEBP to GIF (returns error)
- Rated 5 out of 5by へのじん！, 4 months agoI use them together with YouTube video editing. It's amazingly useful. 👍️
- Rated 4 out of 5by malau, 5 months agoNot being able to save to a custom folder (future version messages seems to have been there FOREVER and never added) is really dumb ! That is basic basic BASIC Windows functionality.
