Rachel Hetrick (ID: 000000869e0ab0c3) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/08/2022 I was so excited to find this extension because I was looking for something to do exactly this for me - let me download images in a compressed file size to save the time of opening in an image editor and resizing. Unfortunately, whenever I try to use it, it displays a message that image compression is in progress (was not in English but I put it in a translator in case I was missing an error message or instructions on something else I was supposed to do) but then never actually downloaded anything. So disappointed.

Taylor Burke (ID: 00000009a59fd79b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/22/2018 Did not work for me. When I right click and select "Download compressed image" it gives me a message in Italian which translates as "Image compression in progress" however no matter how long I wait it does not download anything. I love the idea of this extension but as it does not work as advertised it makes me suspicious ~ what is it actually for? Is it malware?? Not happy at all.
