We don't collect anything.
Save to Image is a local-only Chrome extension. It runs no server, sends no telemetry, and has nowhere to ship your data even if it wanted to. That's how it's built.
What the extension does
- Fetches images you right-click — directly from the page where you clicked, converts them with your browser's built-in canvas, and hands the result to Chrome's download manager.
- Captures pages you ask it to — via Chrome's
captureVisibleTabAPI. Screenshots never leave your machine. - Remembers your preferences — default format,
quality, "ask where to save" — via
chrome.storage.sync, which Google syncs across your own signed-in Chrome instances. We never see it.
What the extension doesn't do
- No analytics, no telemetry, no pixels, no fingerprinting — the extension never phones home.
- No account, no login, no email capture.
- No third-party scripts run inside the pages you save from.
- No selling, renting, or sharing of any data (we don't have any to sell).
About this website
The marketing site you're reading right now (savetoimage.com) loads Pulse Tower for privacy-preserving page analytics. It's cookie-free, never stores your IP, uses timezone to approximate country, and its daily visitor ID resets when your tab closes — no cross-session tracking.
None of this touches the extension, which ships zero analytics code. If you'd
rather not be counted even on the site, you can opt out by running
localStorage.pulse_ignore = "true"
in your browser's DevTools console, or by using any standard tracker blocker.
Permissions, plainly
- Active tab only
-
The extension uses Chrome's
activeTabpermission — access to the current tab is granted only when you explicitly invoke a command (right-click menu or ⌘⇧S), and is revoked when you navigate away. No broad access to your browsing. - Downloads
- Writes the converted image to your Downloads folder.
- Storage
- Stores your default format, quality, and "ask where to save" toggle via Chrome's own sync storage.
- Context menus & scripting
- Adds the right-click menu and lets the extension run its own bundled code in the active tab to fetch and convert images, or scroll the page for full-page screenshots.
