Last updated: 11 November 2026 · Version 1.0.0 · Publisher: isabilov.
Short version: SVG Saver has no servers and sends nothing to the publisher. It reads a page only when you ask it to, and the SVGs it finds stay in your browser. To build the files it may request again files the page itself shows (from the same addresses, see below). The only thing it remembers between sessions is three display choices. Clicking Report a bug or by isabilov. opens those websites.
What it reads on a page
Only on the tab where you open the popup and choose an action, and only in that tab's main page (not in frames):
- Get all SVGs on this page — every SVG graphic on the page: inline
<svg>elements, icon sprites, SVG images (<img>,<object>), SVG files used in CSS (backgrounds, masks,::before/::after) and SVG favicons. To make each file look like it does on the page, it reads the computed colours and line styles of those graphics, and the background colour of CSS mask icons. It also reads names that help label the files (for example anaria-label,<title>,alttext, an id or a class name), the page address and the page title. - Pick an SVG — the same, for the one graphic you click.
Files the page uses. To turn a graphic into a file, SVG Saver may request again the files the page itself shows: SVG images, SVG files used in CSS, SVG favicons, icon sprite files and pictures drawn inside the page's SVGs. These requests are made from inside the page, go only to the addresses the page refers to (the website you are on or the servers it already uses), follow normal redirects and usually come from your browser's cache. Requests to the website you are on include your cookies for that site, like the page's own requests; requests to other sites are sent without cookies, and their content is read only if that server allows it (CORS) — otherwise the tile shows "Couldn't load this file". Pictures that appear only inside a downloaded SVG file are never requested (the page doesn't load them either); they are left out and the tile shows a warning. Nothing is ever sent to the publisher. Only http and https addresses are requested; one action makes at most 400 requests and reads at most 48 MB.
Safety. Everything the page gives is cleaned before it is shown, copied or downloaded: scripts, event handlers, links, animations, embedded web content and references to outside files are removed, so the files you copy or download are plain drawings.
What it keeps, and where
| Data | Where | How long |
|---|---|---|
| The SVGs found and the page address/title, while the gallery tab is open | Memory of the gallery tab | Until you close or reload that tab |
| The SVG you picked with Pick an SVG (so the gallery can open and survive a reload) | chrome.storage.session (memory) | Last 8 picks; deleted when Chrome closes |
| File names and sizes you type in the icon dialog | Memory of the gallery tab | Until you close or reload that tab |
| Your choices for Icon background, Format and Size | chrome.storage.local | Until you remove the extension |
Copy writes the SVG code to your clipboard because you asked it to. Download creates the SVG, PNG or ZIP file in your browser and saves it to your Downloads folder.
SVG Saver has no servers, no analytics, no tracking, no ads, no account and no remote code. Nothing is sold or shared.
Links in the gallery
- Report a bug opens a Google Form in a new tab. The link contains only the extension name ("SVG Saver") and its version (for example "1.0.0") so the form is filled in for you; opening it sends those two values to Google as part of the address. It never contains the page you scanned or anything from it. What you type in the form reaches Google only when you press Submit. Google Forms is run by Google under Google's privacy policy; the answers are read only by the publisher to fix bugs.
- by isabilov. opens isabilov.com.
Like any link, opening these pages lets those websites see the usual browser information (for example your IP address).
When it runs
Only after you click the toolbar icon and choose Get all SVGs on this page or Pick an SVG, and only on that tab. It cannot run on Chrome's own pages, the Chrome Web Store or the PDF viewer. Rescan page reads only the exact page you opened SVG Saver on: if the tab goes to another page or is reloaded, it reads nothing and asks you to click the icon again (a change inside the same page, such as a single-page app route, still counts as the same page). While Pick an SVG is on, clicks on the page are used to pick and don't reach the page; press Esc to turn it off.
Permissions
- activeTab — temporary access to the current tab, only after you click the toolbar icon.
- scripting — run the SVG reader (and the pick bar) in that tab when you choose an action.
- storage — keep a picked SVG for the gallery (memory only) and your three display choices on your device.
No host permissions: the extension cannot read any site on its own.
Deleting your data
Close the gallery tab to drop the scan. Picked SVGs disappear when you close Chrome. Removing the extension deletes your saved choices.
