Why Chrome saves pictures as WebP, what a good image downloader extension does, the privacy check to make, and how to save one image or a whole page as… This guide is part of the Dixon App Studio blog — practical, no-fluff articles for builders, freelancers, home cooks, and sports fans.

Chrome saves the file the site sent. Many sites serve WebP or AVIF because the files are smaller, so 'Save image as' keeps that format even if you rename it to .jpg.
Install an extension that converts, such as the free Pixel Porter, then right-click the picture and choose Save image as → JPG. It decodes and re-encodes the image on your computer.
Use an image downloader extension with a page view: in Pixel Porter, click the toolbar button, filter by size, select the images and save them as separate files or one ZIP.
Yes. It's free, has no ads or analytics, and converts on your device; images are not uploaded anywhere.
