Hi, I'm Aman.

I'm an indie developer who makes small, focused tools — Chrome extensions, web apps, the occasional mobile app. Things I'd want to use myself, that don't try to be sticky.

Save Image As Type is one of those: a quiet little right-click tool that's grown to 1,000+ Chrome users with a 4.6 rating — and, as of 2026, a Pro tier (monthly or lifetime) so I can keep improving it.

Great software solves one problem brilliantly, runs locally, and stays invisible. That's how I build ⭐

The story

Why I built Save Image As Type

From an everyday annoyance to a tool 1,000+ people use — in four chapters.

Chapter 01

The problem

Getting an image in the format you actually need used to mean a desktop converter, a sketchy "upload your file here" website, or fighting with a screenshot tool.

For something as simple as "save this as WebP" or "crop just this part," the options were either overkill or invasive.

Chapter 02

My take

Right-click an image → pick a format → it's converted locally and a native Save dialog appears. No upload, no cloud, no account required for the free tier.

That's it. That's the product — plus a crop editor, compare view and batch tools when you need them.

Chapter 03

How I make money

Honestly: by selling a Pro upgrade to people who want AVIF, batch saving, the crop editor, format compare, resize and per-site rules. You can pay monthly ($1.99) or once for lifetime — your choice.

I don't run ads, don't sell user data, and don't bundle the extension with anything. Pro is billed by Paddle as Merchant of Record. That's the whole business model.

Chapter 04

Where I work

I'm based in Ranchi, India. Service infrastructure runs on Supabase (ap-south-1, Mumbai) and Cloudflare's global edge.

Billing is handled by Paddle.com Inc., the Merchant of Record on your card statement — they handle taxes, fraud prevention and chargebacks worldwide.
