Muhammad Anas (ID: 000000d5cffc9be8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/09/2021 Not helpful at all. Doesn't do anything

semaj cam (ID: 000000d760ac2832) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/28/2021 Used it with Google Slides, takes a couple seconds but retains quality and is still a smooth and overall fast experience. Saved me, very cool. I assume some of these reviews are because this extension is mainly made for Google Slides, as stated in this earlier reply: 'This extension was specifically built to accommodate downloading media from Google Slides (currently, there is not an easy way otherwise). It often work on other sites, but is not guaranteed.' So, keep that in mind.

Secre (ID: 000000cf45d6aa51) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/13/2021 This does not deserve the bad reviews whatsoever. It serves it's purpose, which is to download a photo that you've copied to your clipboard. Especially helpful for google slides which there is no way to download and image inserted into it. To all the clueless people giving it 1 star, you are definitely not the brightest out there. For the people who don't know how to use it, click extensions, click on this specific extension, a screen will pop up. Copy and paste your image into it and bam, your image will be downloaded. Simple.
