![]() ![]() **WARNING** Saving an image in “.png” format is great for images you are going to manipulate before coming to a final image to publish, but in my opinion, they are far less than ideal for the final published format. I’m not sure, though, that it’s worth adding yet another extension to the Chrome browser (the more one has, the slower becomes the browser) just for that right-click save-as option. ![]() And even if the viewer can’t convert (but as long as it can at least view), all anyone would have to do is take a screenshot of it of it or something. …which means that when the oddball, saved-to-disk image is finally viewed in xnView, one need only save-as or export it to something more standard. Or, better yet, just use xnView as one’s image viewer, as I have for years, because anything xnConvert can do, xnView can do… I’m thinking, though, that the right way to do it is the way at least I always have as new formats emerge and haven’t caught-on yet: Save ’em to the local hard drive in their native format, then convert ’em using something like the very thing you mentioned, xnConvert. Select the user agent of a browser that does not support webp, and you should get the same png or jpg delivery that those browsers get. If you rely on Chrome, try the User Agent Switcher extension instead which fakes the browser you are using. You can run Firefox or Internet Explorer instead for all your image downloading needs, so that the images are automatically saved as png or jpg images. Not all web browsers support the webp format, and most web services that use the webp format fall back to png or jpg images instead when such a browser is used. There is no mentioning of a remote service that it uses for that which means it is not really clear how the conversion is handled in the background.Ģ. While I cannot say exactly what is happening behind the scenes, the author notes that it converts the image on the fly. It adds an option to the browser's right-click context menu to save any image that you hover over as png instead of the format it is supplied in. ![]() The first option is the Chrome extension Save Image As Png.
