Saving a web page as an image is simple:

1. Navigate to the web page you want to save
2. Click the Page Saver icon in your browser toolbar
3. Select "Save as Image" from the dropdown menu
4. Choose your preferred format (PNG or JPG)
5. Adjust any settings if needed (resolution, quality, etc.)
6. Click "Save" and choose where to save the file on your computer

The image will be saved to your specified location, capturing the entire visible area of the web page.

To save a web page as a PDF:

1. Navigate to the web page you want to convert
2. Click the Page Saver icon in your browser toolbar
3. Select "Save as PDF" from the dropdown menu
4. For paid plans, you can also select "Save as PDF (Reader Mode)" for a clean, ad-free version
5. Adjust settings like page size, margins, headers/footers, etc.
6. Click "Save" and choose where to save the PDF file

The PDF will maintain the formatting, images, and links from the original web page.

The "Save Image as Type" feature (available in paid plans) allows you to right-click on any image on a web page and convert it to a different file format. For example, you can:

• Convert PNG images to JPG
• Convert JPG images to PNG
• Convert GIF images to PNG or JPG
• Convert WebP images to more compatible formats

This feature is particularly useful when you encounter images in formats not supported by some applications or when you want to optimize images for specific purposes.

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that converts images containing text into editable and searchable text. With Page Saver's OCR feature (available in paid plans), you can:

1. Right-click on any image containing text on a web page
2. Select "Extract Text from Image (OCR)" from the context menu
3. The text will be extracted and displayed in a popup window
4. You can then copy the text to your clipboard or save it as a text file

This feature is invaluable when you need to extract text from images, screenshots, PDFs, or web pages that don't allow text selection.

Regular PDF: Captures the web page exactly as it appears in your browser, including all elements such as ads, navigation bars, and sidebars.

Reader Mode PDF: Extracts and formats only the main content of the page, removing advertisements, navigation elements, sidebars, and other distractions. This creates a clean, book-like reading experience focused solely on the content.

Reader Mode is particularly useful for saving articles, blog posts, and other text-heavy content for later reading without visual distractions. This feature is available in all plans, including the Free Plan.

Page Saver offers three subscription tiers:

1. Free Plan: Includes Save as Image, Save as PDF, Save as PDF (Reader mode), and Save Image as Type
2. Yearly Plan ($8.99/year): All Free Plan features plus Extract text from Image (OCR) functionality for a year

You can view detailed feature comparisons on our Pricing Page.

The Free Plan includes:

• Save as Image (PNG)

The Free Plan does not include the OCR functionality for extracting text from images.

Both plans offer the same features, but with different payment structures:

Yearly Plan ($8.99/year):

• Annual recurring payment
• All Free Plan features
• Extract text from Image (OCR) - valid for one year
• Updates and support during your subscription period

Permanent License ($21.99 one-time):

• One-time payment (no recurring charges)
• All Free Plan features
• Extract text from Image (OCR) - permanent access
• All future updates included

The Permanent License is our most cost-effective option for long-term users.

To upgrade your subscription:

1. Log in to your account on our website
2. Navigate to the Pricing Page
3. Select your desired plan

After upgrading, refresh your browser and restart the extension to activate your new features. Your upgraded features will be available immediately after payment confirmation.

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for all purchases. If you're not satisfied with Page Saver, you can request a refund within 14 days of your purchase by contacting our support team at info [at] pixelstech.net.

Please include your order number and the email address used for the purchase in your refund request.

Refunds are not available after the 14-day period or for subscriptions that have been active for more than one billing cycle.

Some websites implement security measures that can restrict Page Saver's functionality. Common issues include:

• Content Security Policy (CSP) restrictions
• Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) limitations
• Protected or dynamically-loaded content
• Sites requiring authentication

For most protected sites, you can still use the basic browser screenshot function by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) to open the command palette, then typing "screenshot".

For better OCR results:

• Ensure the image has good contrast between text and background
• Use images with clear, readable text (avoid blurry or low-resolution images)
• For images with complex backgrounds, try saving them first and applying contrast/brightness adjustments
• If possible, crop the image to include only the text you want to extract
• OCR works best with standard fonts; handwriting or decorative fonts may have lower accuracy

Our OCR technology is continuously improving, but may not be 100% accurate for all images or languages.

If premium features aren't appearing after purchase:

1. Refresh your browser and restart the extension
2. Make sure you're logged in with the same account used for the purchase
3. Check if your payment was successfully processed (check your email for a receipt)
4. Clear your browser cache and cookies
5. Disable and re-enable the extension
