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.
