Where are Imgkeep's settings?

Open Chrome's Extensions menu (the puzzle icon), click ⋮ next to Imgkeep, then Options. In Edge, the Extensions menu has ⋯ next to Imgkeep, then Extension options. In Firefox, open Add-ons and themes (about:addons), click ⋯ next to Imgkeep, then Preferences (Options on Windows).

A small window asked to allow a site

Some sites block other sites from reading their images. Allow and save (or Allow and copy) gives Imgkeep access to that one site only. You can remove it any time in Options, under "Sites you've allowed". Or choose Save original format instead.

It asks me to reconnect my folder

In Chrome and Edge: the browser forgets folder access after a restart unless you chose Allow on every visit. Click reconnect once and pick that option. Firefox saves to Downloads or asks where each time, so there's no folder to reconnect.

An image won't save

On Instagram, Pinterest and similar sites, the photo is often covered by another layer, so the right-click doesn't reach it. Right-click and choose Imgkeep: Find image here (the first time, Imgkeep asks you to turn it on). More in when right-click won't save an image. Some images only exist inside the page (a blob: link); Imgkeep can't save those yet. A screenshot works.

The palette has fewer colours than I chose

The image has fewer distinct colours. Colours that look almost the same are merged, see-through pixels are ignored, and animations use their first frame.

Copy as PNG says it couldn't copy

The browser only lets the Imgkeep window put an image on the clipboard while that window is in front. If you clicked elsewhere while it was working, click Try again. Your clipboard isn't changed until a copy works, and Save as PNG instead always works.

How do I make images smaller?

In Options, under Quality and size, set a Maximum width: wider images are scaled down to fit, keeping their shape, and smaller ones are left alone. For one image, right-click → Imgkeep → More options… to pick the width, format and quality and see the real file size before you save. JPG and WebP are much smaller than PNG for photos.

My animation stopped moving

PNG, JPG and WebP save one still frame. To keep an animation moving, choose GIF (keeps animation). Animated GIFs are saved exactly as they are; animated WebP, AVIF and APNG are converted frame by frame. GIFs are made up to 800px wide, and animations longer than 600 frames are too big to convert. More in how to save an animated WebP as a GIF.

Like Imgkeep?

Imgkeep is free and has no ads. If it helps you, a rating on the Chrome Web Store (or on Firefox Add-ons) helps other people find it. Imgkeep itself asks for a rating just once, after you've used it for a while, and never again.

Privacy

Imgkeep collects no personal data and never uploads your images. It sends one anonymous daily summary of which features were used and which saves failed; turn it off in Options under "Anonymous usage counts". Details in the privacy policy.
