- Rated 1 out of 5by Me, 4 days agoDoesn't go to the last folder saved in like the standard save dialog. No option for that in the settings. Uninstalled.
Developer response
posted 4 days agoThis combination of settings will accomplish that:
Save Dialog / AutoSave Options
Show Save As dialog each time => "Yes"
Save Path Options
Initial or Autosave folder => "Directly in my downloads folder"
I need to update the text on the Options page to clarify that. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18462017, 8 days agoThis is not a recent problem, but when I try to download an image with very large dimensions (for example 720x14850) with the Save webP as PNG or JPEG option, it only downloads part of the image (720x8190) and the rest (the lower part of the image) is transparent
Developer response
posted 8 days agoThank you for this report. I believe Firefox does have *some* limit on the size of an image it will draw on or extract from an HTML canvas (which is how the conversion is done). Still, 8190 seems too short, since my test image is 720x22000 and that one works fine when I open it stand-alone in a tab.
When you are saving the image in its original page, I wonder whether a style rule can affect the height? Maybe you can send me an example URL of where the problem occurs, either in a new issue at https://github.com/jscher2000/Save-webP-as-extension/issues/ or by email at jscher2000@outlook.com. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13961419, 14 days agoWas working great for a long time, but recently had some weird issues with it. It keeps download fragments of images rather than the full image, very strange.
Developer response
posted 14 days agoHi, that is strange. There is an open issue related to only getting a quarter of a zoomed product image on at least one site. Maybe it is a related problem? Feel free to add example URLs to the open issue at https://github.com/jscher2000/Save-webP-as-extension/issues/10 (or you can email me at jscher2000@outlook.com if you don't want to create a Github account).
Meanwhile, does it work any better if you open the image in a new tab before trying to convert?
*UPDATE*
Hopefully the next update (1.5.2) will fix this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16318253, 22 days agoBy default, I'd better have saving as .png in a regular download folder (not the webp special folder). But it can be fixed in a sec via settings.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Artifycr, a month agoit worked but sent images to a newly made folder instead of my downloads which is a bit annoying to go out of the way to use the image

posted a month agoIf you go to the Options for the add-on (click the "gear" wheel icon on the button bar), "Save Path Options" section, you can change to saving directly in the Downloads folder. Due to limitations on where add-ons can auto-save, I can't offer very much flexibility on this. If you prefer to choose where to save each time, the setting above that lets you select your preferred approach. - Rated 5 out of 5by Rana Waheed, a month agoAbsolutely outstanding add-on i ever found. My work of downloading pictures got much easier by this add-on. 100% recommended this. Just do some settings as per your need and you have very good results. I really appreciated to the developer for such kind of precious work. Please keep it up. Regards: Rana Waheed
- Rated 1 out of 5by Kiflaam, a month agoONE STAR SO IT IS SEEN: most of the negative reviews are by people that don't know how to check the bottom of the right-click menu. Indeed, this add-on adds a new option on the right-click menu so you can save as a png in one click, without having to go through MS paint. FIVE STARS
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17694088, a month agojust links to ezgif. Removed. bookmark ezgif.com/webp-to-gif
Developer response
posted a month agoFor converting to PNG and JPEG, the add-on doesn't need to use external services unless Firefox restricts the page. To convert animated WebP to animated GIF, you need to use an external service (Firefox doesn't have a function add-ons can call for that). - Rated 4 out of 5by JdbyeRox, a month agoHas this been updated to fix the recent webp remote code execution exploit? That has me a bit worried right now.
Developer response
posted a month agoHi, do you mean the one assigned CVE-2023-4863? Mozilla issued Firefox 117.0.2 and 115.2.1 to address the problem. See: https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2023-40/
The reason for mentioning that patch is: this extension uses features Firefox makes available to add-ons and web page scripts; the extension does not have its own image conversion libraries. - Rated 5 out of 5by geeknik, 2 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Nathan, 2 months agoAbsolute life saver of an extension. Saves me insane amounts of time, especially with the copy-to-clipboard functionality. THANK YOU!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17848309, 2 months agoI'd say this is in my top 5 in terms of essential add-ons. Works like a peach :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by qdfgn, 3 months agouseless, it won't let you choose the folder once and for all, so any time it saves you in changing image extension, you lose in having to navigate to correct folder EVERY SINGLE TIME
Developer response
posted 3 months agoUnfortunately, add-ons are restricted to starting in either the Downloads folder and or in a sub-folder of the Downloads folder. If you don't want to save in the Save_webP folder, you can place a shortcut in that folder to double-click over to your preferred location. - Rated 5 out of 5by CP, 3 months agoThis is amazing extension. I would like to have a feature that I could save images in pixel and keep aspect ratio.

posted 4 months agoHi, could you open an issue at https://github.com/jscher2000/Save-webP-as-extension/issues or send me an email at jscher2000@outlook.com for personal assistance? Until then, if the menu item is no longer appearing on the right-click context menu, you might want to remove and reinstall it, and if you notice a problem in private windows (Ctrl+Shift+P or "Never Remember History") make sure it is enabled for private windows when you reinstall.
(Update: version 1.5.1 pops up a little panel with some more options when the script is denied permission to read the page. Previously that just caused silent failure.)- Rated 5 out of 5by Andy, 4 months agoAwesome thx. Feels great to not have to deal with that image format. Was a pain to DL, open in Paint and save as .jpg ^^
