PRIVACY POLICY - SAVE IMAGE AS TYPE (FIREFOX)

Last updated: August 6, 2026

OVERVIEW

Save Image As Type is a browser add-on that converts web images to other formats (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, PDF) directly in your browser. This policy explains what data the add-on does and does not collect.

THIS BUILD COLLECTS NOTHING

The Firefox build contains no analytics code at all. It is not disabled by default and it is not opt-out: the sending code is removed at build time, so there is nothing in the shipped add-on that could transmit a request even if it wanted to. This is why the add-on declares data_collection_permissions: none in its manifest.

You can verify it in the source archive submitted alongside the add-on: ANALYTICS_ENABLED is false in vite.firefox.config.ts, and the built bundle contains no analytics endpoint, measurement id or API key.

The Chrome and Edge builds of this extension do send anonymous, opt-out usage analytics. This one does not. That difference is deliberate.

WHAT WE DO NOT COLLECT

Images. We never collect, store, upload, or transmit any image you convert. All conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. There is no conversion server for an image to be uploaded to.

URLs. We never transmit the URL of an image you convert, or of the page you are on, in any form. If you turn on the optional local save history described below, it records full image URLs, but only on your own device and never anywhere else.

Browsing history. We have no access to your browser history.

Personal information. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information.

Cookies. The add-on does not use cookies.

STORED ONLY ON YOUR DEVICE

Local save history. Off by default: a fresh install keeps no record of what you save. If you turn it on in Settings, the add-on adds one entry per save to a log kept only on your device, containing the image's full URL (so you can find and re-download it later), the output format, the file size, the time, and a reference to your browser's own download record. This log is never transmitted and never synced. You can clear it at any time, and turning the setting off erases whatever is already stored.

Saves made in private windows are never added to this history, even while it is on.

Your settings. Output format, quality levels, filename template, save folder, resize limits and appearance are stored using your browser's own add-on storage.

PERMISSIONS

• contextMenus: adds the right-click menu items, which are the add-on's entire interface.
• downloads: saves the converted file to your computer.
• storage: stores your own settings, and the optional local save history if you turn it on.
• notifications: reports the outcome of a save you would not otherwise see, such as a failure.
• clipboardWrite: backs the optional "Copy image as PNG to clipboard" menu item.
• activeTab and host permissions: read the image you right-clicked, and fetch its bytes for conversion. Images live on arbitrary domains and you choose which one at right-click time, so the set of sites cannot be known in advance. Nothing happens until you act.

Note: this build does not request the offscreen permission that the Chrome build needs. Firefox has no offscreen API, so conversion runs in the content script instead.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

None. This build contacts no third party.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

Material changes will be reflected here and in the add-on's listing, with the date above updated.
