Privacy Policy

Save image as… ("SaveAs", "the Extension") is a privacy-first, open-source browser extension. Image conversion happens entirely on your own device — the images you save never leave your computer for the core feature, and the Extension requests no host permissions to read the pages you browse.

We collect no personal information and do no cross-site tracking. The only data we collect is anonymous, aggregate usage statisticsto understand which features are used — and you can turn that off in the Extension's options at any time.

• The images you convert, crop, or download — these are processed locally and are never uploaded to us (except the optional AI features described in Section 5, which you must explicitly trigger).
• The URLs, addresses, or domains of the pages you visit, the filenames you save, or the contents of any image.
• Your name, email address, or account — there is no account.
• Browsing history. The Extension uses no host permissions and does not read or monitor the pages you browse.

To understand how the Extension is used and where to focus improvements, we collect a small amount of anonymous, aggregate usage data through PostHog, a product analytics service. These events contain no personal data and are not linked to any real-world identity.

What an event contains

• The action taken — for example, that an image was converted, that the crop editor was opened, or that the Extension was installed.
• The chosen output format (e.g. JPG, PNG, WebP), the Extension version, and your browser's UI language.
• A random identifier generated on install, stored locally on your device. It is not tied to your identity and is used only to estimate how many people use the Extension. It is never synced and never combined with other data.

We explicitly do not send image contents, URLs, page addresses, domains, or filenames in any analytics event. PostHog receives your IP address as a normal part of any internet request; we use it only for coarse country-level aggregation and do not store it against your events as an identifier.

Turning it off

You can disable usage analytics at any time: open the Extension's Options page and turn off "Share anonymous usage stats." Once disabled, no further events are sent.

Your preferences (default format, quality, and other options) are stored using the browser's extension storage. If you are signed in to your browser, the browser may sync these settings across your own devices via your browser account — this is handled by your browser, not by us, and the settings are not sent to our servers. Images passed to the crop editor are held temporarily in your browser's local IndexedDB and cleared when you save or close the tab.

Licensing

Premium features are unlocked with a license key. Payments and license validation are handled by Creem, our payment provider and merchant of record. When you purchase, your payment and contact details are handled by Creem under their privacy policy. We store your license key and a per-device identifier locally to keep your license active.

AI image tools

Premium includes optional AI tools in the editor (remove background, enhance/upscale, and prompt-based edits). These features — and only these features — send the image you are editing to our processing server, which validates your license and forwards the image to our AI provider (Replicate) to perform the requested operation. The result is returned to your editor. We do not use your images to train models, and images are not retained beyond what is needed to perform the operation. These tools run only when you explicitly invoke them.

• We do not sell your data.
• We do not serve ads or use advertising trackers.
• We do not build advertising or marketing profiles about you.
• We do not share your data with third parties except the service providers strictly needed to operate the features described above (PostHog for anonymous analytics; Creem and Replicate only for premium/AI features you choose to use).

Anonymous analytics events are retained by our analytics provider for as long as needed for product analysis. Because they contain no personal identifiers, they cannot be tied back to you for individual deletion. Locally stored data (settings, license, the random analytics identifier) lives on your device and is removed when you uninstall the Extension or clear its data.

The Extension is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Because the core analytics we collect are anonymous and carry no personal identifiers, there is no personal profile to access, correct, or delete. You retain full control by disabling analytics in the options, and by uninstalling the Extension at any time. For any privacy-related question, contact us using the details below.

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases: our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the Extension (for the anonymous, aggregate usage statistics described in Section 3, which you can switch off at any time); the performance of a contract with you (to provide premium features you purchase); and your consent where required. You may withdraw consent or object to processing based on legitimate interest at any time, including by disabling analytics or uninstalling the Extension.

Our analytics provider (PostHog) and certain other service providers may process data on servers located in the United States or other countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. Where such transfers involve personal data, we and our providers rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) as required by applicable law. By using the Extension, you acknowledge that the limited, anonymous data described in this Policy may be processed in those locations.

The Extension relies on a small number of third-party services described above — PostHog (anonymous analytics), and, for premium features you choose to use, Creem (payments and licensing) and Replicate (AI image processing). These services are operated by independent companies under their own privacy policies and terms, over which we have no control and for which we are not responsible. We encourage you to review their policies. We are not affiliated with, and do not endorse, any website on which you use the Extension.

The Extension is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Extension will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any image conversion or AI operation will meet your requirements.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the developer be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Extension, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in this Policy excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Extension evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Extension after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
