Save anything from the web with Save to Koofr add-on

You find an image you need for a project? Download. A video or text snippet for later? Download.

Before you know it, your Downloads folder, Desktop, and phone gallery look like a digital junk drawer. Your device is running out of space, your files are scattered everywhere, and you still have to manually upload everything to the cloud if you want it safely backed up and accessible.

Saving things from the web shouldn't be a multi-step chore. Cluttering your local device just to move a file to the cloud makes no sense. There's a better way.

Koofr. A safe home for your files.

Meet Save to Koofr: a browser extension that lets you save images, videos, text, links, and email attachments from the web directly to Koofr with a single right-click. No need to download first. No manual uploads. Just instant, organised saving of the wanted files to the cloud.

What Is Save to Koofr?

Save to Koofr is a browser extension that integrates directly into your right-click context menu. Once installed, you can save content from any webpage to your Koofr account in the background while you carry on browsing.

Everything you save lands neatly in a dedicated Save to Koofr folder inside your Koofr account, where it's immediately accessible from any device: desktop, mobile, or tablet.

Here's what the extension can save:

1. Pictures and Video Files

Right-click on any image or video you spot while browsing, and select Save this to Koofr. The file is saved directly to your Koofr account in the background, no detour through your Downloads folder.

The Save screenshot to Koofr will make a screenshot of the web page you currently have open in your browser and save the screenshot to Koofr. While Save the largest image to Koofr will save the largest image or video on the webpage you have open in your browser to Koofr.

This is especially useful when you're researching, collecting references, or simply want to keep a photo without cluttering your device storage.

2. Text Selection

Found a quote, a recipe, or a paragraph you want to keep?

Highlight the text, right-click, and choose Save selected to Koofr. The selected text is saved as a .txt file in your Koofr account which will be named after the webpage title and will contain both the page URL and the selected text. This is especially useful when doing research for a thesis or a work project, where you have to collect information from various articles and sources.

3. Links to Files

If a webpage contains a link that points directly to a file — a PDF report, a Word document, a spreadsheet — you don't need to download it first. Right-click the link, select Save to Koofr, and the file is transferred directly to your Koofr account.

4. Email Attachments

Save to Koofr also works with Gmail attachments. Instead of downloading an attachment to your device and then uploading it to the cloud, you can send it straight to Koofr in one step.

5. The secret bonus trick

If a friend shares files with you via a public Koofr link, you can save them to your Koofr account in a single click using the Save to Koofr option in the Download menu. The files will be waiting for you in the Saved links folder in your account.

Where Are My Saved Files?

Everything saved via the extension goes straight into a folder called Save to Koofr inside your Koofr account. From there, you can reorganise, rename, share, or archive the files however you like — using all the tools Koofr offers across web, desktop, and mobile apps.

Because your files are stored in Koofr — not just on your device — they're accessible anywhere, on any device, at any time.

• Always accessible — saved files are available on every device via Koofr
