Browser extension · free to use

Right-click any picture on the web

Is it really transparent? How big will it print? What colours are in it? Clear its background, or send it straight to a cut-file tool. No download, no re-upload, no account — and the picture never leaves your computer.

What it adds

Four answers on the right-click menu

Each one runs the same engine as the website, on your own machine, and finishes before you have finished reading the menu.

Is it really transparent?

Finds a checkerboard painted into the picture, a file that cannot hold transparency at all, invisible pixels stretching the edges, and a pale rim from an old background — and offers the fixed PNG.

Remove the background

Artwork on a plain backdrop becomes a transparent PNG, with the soft edge kept rather than chopped square. Free, and no model to download.

How big will it print?

Pixels into inches: the real size of the file, what it comes to at 300 dpi, and the largest it can be printed before it goes soft.

What colours are in it?

The handful of colours that carry the picture, named and with their shares — the same layers a layered cut file would have.

Two things only an extension can do

Most of this site works perfectly well without one. These two do not, and that is the honest reason the extension exists.

Check a page before anyone can see it

The link preview checker shows the card people get when your link is shared. From the website it has to fetch the page, so it can only see what is public: a draft listing, a staging site or a page behind a login is invisible. The extension reads the page in front of you, so you can fix the card before it goes live.

Find pictures a server never sees

Shops build galleries with script after the page loads. Pictures on a page reads the markup from our server and finds what is written in it; the extension looks at the finished page in your browser, so it finds the ones that appeared later, at full size.

How the two fit together

  1. Right-click a picture anywhereThe answer appears over the page. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is saved.
  2. Or send it onward"Open this picture in…" hands it to a tool on this site with the picture already loaded — no download, no re-upload.
  3. Finish the job on the siteSettings, previews, batches and the machine formats all live here, where there is room for them.
  4. Email yourself the resultAny tool can send the finished file to your inbox, so it is on your phone or with whoever prints for you.

Getting it

It is built and working, and it is not in the Chrome Web Store yet. Listings are reviewed before they appear, and this page will carry a one-click install button the moment it is. If you would like to be told when that happens, use the Email it to me button on any tool and tick "tell me when new tools launch" — that list is used for exactly this and nothing else.

If you are comfortable with developer mode, the packaged extension is available to download: unzip it, open chrome://extensions, switch on Developer mode, and choose Load unpacked. It behaves identically; the only difference is that Chrome will not update it for you.

Questions

What does it cost?

Nothing. Every tool in the extension is free to use, with no account, no sign-in and no limit on how many pictures you run through it. The paid plan on the website covers machine formats and batch exports; none of that is needed for anything the extension does.

What can it see?

Only the picture you right-click, and only when you right-click it. It has no permission to read the sites you visit: Chrome hands it access to one tab at the moment you use the menu, and that is it. The one page it runs on by itself is this website, so the two can pass a picture between them.

Are my pictures uploaded?

No. The checks run inside the extension on your own computer, using exactly the same code the website runs in your browser. The only tool that ever sends anything is the link preview checker on the website, which has to fetch someone else's page — and the extension version avoids even that by reading the page you are already on.

Why does it sometimes say it cannot read a picture?

Some sites serve their pictures from a separate address that a browser will not let an extension read without permission. Click the Makerfern button in the toolbar and press Allow for that site, then right-click again. You can take the permission back at any time in Chrome's extension settings.

Do I need it to use the tools?

No. Everything has a page on this site that works on its own: drop a file in and go. The extension saves the download-and-re-upload round trip, and can reach pages a server cannot, such as a draft listing.
