Media Editor Chrome Extension

Overview

The Media Editor Chrome Extension allows users to save and convert photo files in custom formats directly from their browser. With an easy-to-use interface, you can choose media files, preview them, and save them either in their original format or convert them to a variety of image formats.

Features

  • Save Original Media: Save selected media files in their original format.
  • Convert Media: Convert media files to various formats, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, and APNG.
  • Preview Media: View a preview of the selected media file before saving or converting.
  • Context Menu Integration: Right-click on any image in the browser and select "Convert using Media Editor" to load it into the extension for conversion.

  2. Open Google Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/.
  3. Enable "Developer mode" by toggling the switch in the top right corner.
  4. Click the "Load unpacked" button and select the directory where the extension files are located.

Usage

  1. Choose Media:

    • Use the dropdown menu to select the media file you want to work with.
    • Alternatively, right-click on any image in the browser and choose "Convert using Media Editor" to load it directly into the extension.

  2. Save Original:

    • Click the "Save as Original" button to save the selected media in its original format.

Files

  • popup.html: The main HTML file for the extension's popup interface.
  • popup.css: The CSS file for styling the popup interface.
  • popup.js: The JavaScript file that handles the extension's functionality.

Known Issues

  • The extension does not support the following formats for conversion: svg, avif, ico, and tiff.
  • If a user tries to convert a file to the same format, it will be downloaded directly instead of being converted.

Future Enhancements

  • Additional Formats: Support for more media formats can be added based on user feedback.
  • Improved UI/UX: Enhancements to the user interface and user experience are planned for future updates.
