- Rated 2 out of 5by hackerb9, 2 years agoA noble attempt, but does not work for me.
Image Saver does not appear in the context menu for large tiled images, such as when zooming in on

(Note, you'll need to use "Shift+Right-click" to get Firefox's context menu since Google is silly and disables right-click on its artsandculture site.)
A different extension (Search by Image) does allow me to right-click and "Show Image" in a new tab. Each tile is a 512x512 PNG that I can save, but it is tedious doing them one by one.
The description of Image Saver says that it can save "any images" not normally downloadable, so I mistakenly expected Image Saver to give me the option to save all the tiles at once. Unfortunately, since the Image Saver option does not appear in the context menu, it cannot save even a single tile. I hope the author updates this extension so that any and all data blobs can be saved easily. - Rated 5 out of 5by Davide, 2 years agoGreat, thank you.
Would be good to be able to configure to save with a default extension (.jpg), when the files do not have an extension... - Rated 2 out of 5by Alex Reynard, 3 years agoI have not found any image that this can download that I couldn't download regularly. The context menu item does not show up any time I've tried to download an image I can't normally download. For example, eBay auction photos.
- Rated 5 out of 5by itsgroovy, 4 years agoCan download SVGs just fine,, good UI/UX (simply right click and it'll take you to (its) special, "new page" (within your tab) where you can extract what you need.
It's good, simple, fun tbh, and works. So, thanks Tom :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15863426, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Yhey, 4 years agoGreat app! I just would like to be able to save with one click, without opening the submenu inside the context menu

Now SVG like https://booklive.jp/ into website's sourcecode are downloadable but without color and to edit with Inkscape the image it doesn't show, so I need to edit it before with https://mediamodifier.com/

posted 4 years agoSorry to hear this, if you right click an svg you should be able to download the entire thing which would contain the paths. If you don't mind linking me the website where this doesn't work I might be able to fix.
EDIT: I have identified the issue (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href / https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/use) and am working on a fix
EDIT: Fix is ready (https://github.com/Douile/image-saver/commit/bafc29688f33d355b0c91966015ade6d63347191) and will be included in next release
EDIT (14/09/2020): Fix is in update version 1.0.0 - Rated 5 out of 5by amymizushima, 4 years agoNeeded something lightweight to convert .webp files on an old Mac. This did the trick

This add-on works well for saving images and I love it!
There's however one annoying problem and that it is always saving to the same default location which I cannot change. Neither does it remember the last location I've saved to if it is other than the default one. It would be nice to either be able to chose the default saving location, but even better if the last saving location would be remembered, so next time you save an image, it automatically opens up the last directory you saved an image to.
That would make this add-on completely fantastic!
4 stars as it is now, but would for sure be 5 if the saving location would be remembered or fixed by other means.
EDIT: I gave 4 stars earlier, but as time has gone by, the problem described above is such a huge problem that I barely want to use this, otherwise fantastic, add-on anymore. It is extremely irritating to go through choosing the correct directory every single time one want to save an image.
For example, if there is 20 images I need to save in a certain location, I have to go through the time consuming task to chose the right directory every single time! Just because this add on is selecting a certain default location each time.
PLEASE make this add-on REMEMBERING the last image save location automatically, so if you have lots of images to save, you only have to chose the right directory ONCE! And not every single time for every single saved image.
Thanks in advance, I hope this can be fixed. If so, it's a 5 star from me!
EDIT 2020-07-24: I don't know why, but this extension now seem to remember last download directory? I checked and there doesn't seem to be an update since I wrote my original review, so I really don't know why this works now. But it does! So 5 stars as of now!
(Could, this add-on working now, have something to do with any of the regular Firefox updates? Maybe something was changed in Firefox itself, making this add-on work properly.)Developer response
posted 4 years agoI'm sorry this has caused a problem for you. The default download directory can be changed in about:preferences -> General -> Files And Applications -> Downloads -> Save files to . It is technically possible for the extension to set the default download directory and I am going to look into how I can implement this. However it seems most likely this would need to be configured in the add-on options tab.
EDIT: Unfortunately it is not possible with the current webExtension API for me to change the default download to anywhere outside of the default download folder set in preferences. As stated in the docs "Absolute paths, empty paths, and paths containing back-references (../) will cause an error.". As such I believe it is futile for me to add any sort of download path remembering feature as it would only work for folders inside the default download folder.

-save image
-dataurl
i click save image but it does both including data url which i didnt ask for. why give two option to choose from context menu if its goign to do both. i have to close the dataurl window each freaking time, 1/5.
edited: 5/5 thanks for the prompt update and response.Developer response
posted 5 years agoSorry about this, I have uploaded a new version (0.6) that fixes this bug. - Rated 5 out of 5by egandb, 5 years agoThanks Tom! I was unable to download a stingy SVG until I found and used your extension. Got it, thanks to you! Highly recommended for stingy SVGs!
