In code review (v1.0.2)

Our reviewer read version 1.0.2 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

Save Image As PNG, used by 500,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in June 2024.

The extension's sole functionality is to convert images to PNG and trigger a download. All processing is local; no data is sent to any server. The <all_urls> permission is required to load images from any origin without canvas tainting, and the downloads permission is needed for saving. The code is clean and aligns with the description. The ML risk score is low, but the automated security analysis flags permissions heavily; this is a classic false positive. The publisher is trusted. The only discrepancy is the manifest version mismatch between the bundled v2 and the CWS-listed v3, which does not affect the benign verdict.

About this extension

Adds the "Save Image As PNG" option to the context menu of images.

Read the publisher’s full description

Converts an image to PNG before showing the Save As dialog. WebP is a new image format developed by Google. These images are small, but their format is not widely recognized yet. By converting the image to PNG, you will be able to use it in image editing programs, and/or upload it to online image hosting sites such as imgur. The extension has a low footprint: It does not use any memory or CPU unless you use it by clicking on the context menu option. Original release date: 3 Augustus 2013. Update (4 January 2014): If you use Chrome 30 or lower, then you cannot save the image from some web sites (such as the Chrome Web Store). Update to Chrome 31 for an optimal user experience. Notice (30 June 2014): Chrome 35 on KDE (Linux) has a bug that causes Chrome to crash whenever the Save As dialog is opened by an extension. Downgrade to Chrome 34 or upgrade to Chrome 36 to solve the problem. Update (2 June 2024): Manifest Version 3 and improved cookie / network partitioning and cache reuse.
