Image Toolkit is a Chromium browser extension that lets you (1) re-encode any image on a web page as PNG, JPG, or WEBP and save it locally, and (2) open a reverse image search on the engine of your choice.
- Image content (website content). When you right-click an image and pick "Save image as…", the extension fetches the image bytes in your browser, re-encodes them locally using
OffscreenCanvas, and triggers a download to your own machine. The image is never sent to the developer. - Image URL or image bytes — only when YOU pick a search engine. When you pick "Search image with…" → an engine, a new tab opens to that engine's reverse-image URL with the image URL (or, for Pinterest and 123rf, the image bytes uploaded to their public visual-search APIs). This transmission goes directly to the engine you selected. It is governed by that engine's privacy policy, not by Image Toolkit.
- Your settings (which engines are enabled, their order, JPG/WEBP quality, JPG flatten color). Stored in
chrome.storage.sync, which Chrome syncs across devices signed into the same Google account. The developer does not have access to this data.
- It does not collect personal information, browsing history, location, financial information, health data, authentication credentials, or communications.
- It does not run analytics, telemetry, fingerprinting, or any tracking.
- It does not send any data to servers operated by the developer. The developer operates no servers for this extension.
- It does not sell or transfer user data to third parties.
- It does not use data for purposes unrelated to its single purpose (saving images and opening reverse-image searches).
- It does not use data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.

When you click a reverse-search engine, your request goes to that engine (Google Lens, Yandex, Bing, TinEye, Pinterest, Adobe Stock, Freepik, 123rf, and others you may add). Their handling of your request is covered by their own privacy policies.
