Google Chrome for iOS is one of the best alternatives to Safari. And its revamped user interface means that performing any task is now quite intuitive. But there’s still one odd action that can leave you scratching your head. For example, say you came across a cool picture that you want to download and use as your wallpaper or share with someone else — but how do you do that?
Thankfully, there isn’t just one, but multiple ways to save images in Chrome. So without any further ado, let’s take a look at them.
Note: It's not possible to save images that are part of a webpage background.1. Save to Photos App
Chrome makes it super easy to save any image that you come across to your Photos app. Simply tap and hold on a photo for a couple of seconds — you should then see an on-screen menu show up.
Now tap Save Image, and you should find the image copied over to the Camera Roll album of the Photos app automatically. Cool, right?
Note: If you receive a 'Cannot Save image' error message, check the Troubleshooting Section further below to figure what you can do about that.Also on Guiding Tech

Saving images to the Photos app is fine, but what about copying them over directly to another app instead? That would be pretty useful if you want to add an image to note or message without cluttering up your photo library, right?
Thankfully, Chrome allows you to do just that. Simply tap on the Copy Image option on the menu (the same one that shows up after tapping and holding an image), and it should copy over to the iOS clipboard.
Head over to an app (Messages, Notes, Mail, etc.) and tap and hold the area where you want to place the image.
Tap Paste and the image should appear immediately.
3. Drag and Drop (iPad Only)
If you use Chrome on your iPad, then you’re going to love this. Rather than saving or copying images with the methods above, you can instead use iOS’s drag ‘n drop touch gesture to move pictures to other apps instantly. But what makes this even better is the fact that you can also move multiple photos simultaneously.
Start off by opening both Chrome and the app that you want to copy the images over to in split-view. Next, head over to the page with the images. Now, hold down on an image, and then drag your finger slightly so that the image sticks beneath.
Tip: To initiate split-view, drag the app from the iPad dock over Chrome — once it starts to hover, simply pull down on the handle above the floating window.Now, use another finger to tap on other images so that they stack underneath the original image. You can also scroll up and down the page, but don’t lift off the finger that you used to initiate the gesture — you'll have to restart from scratch if that happens.
Once you’ve selected all images, simply drag them over to the other app, and then release your finger. They should copy over immediately! You can also save images to the Photos app using this gesture as well.
Note: When dragging over the images, the counter on top of the stack turns green to indicate supported areas where you can release your finger. Certain apps may not support the gesture at all.Also on Guiding Tech

If you run into any problems with the methods above, the following troubleshooting tips should help fix things in a jiffy.
Can’t Save to Photos App - Provide Permissions
When attempting to save your images directly to the Photos app using the Save Image option, you may receive a 'Cannot Save Image' error message. That happens when Chrome doesn't have permissions to copy images to the Photos app. However, it's quite easy to resolve the issue.
Head over to the Settings app, and then tap Chrome. On the subsequent screen, tap Photos.
![Save Page As App Chrome Mac Save Page As App Chrome Mac](/uploads/1/2/6/4/126420274/354024005.jpg)
Set access permissions to Read and Write. This should provide the browser the permissions required to save images to the Photos app.
Cannot Copy to Clipboard — Update Chrome
The brower's ability to copy images to the clipboard is only possible starting with Google Chrome 71.0 version. If you aren’t running an updated version of Chrome (possible if automatic updates are disabled), then the chances are that you won’t see the Copy Image option.
To update Chrome, head over to the App Store, and then tap Updates.
Swipe downward on the Updates screen to scan for new updates. If Google Chrome has an update available, tap UPDATE.
After the update, you should see the Copy Image option when long-pressing an image.
Drag and Drop Doesn’t Work — Force-Quit Apps
At times, dragging images to another app in split-view may fail to work. That happens due to random glitches associated with extended multi-tasking sessions, and you can quickly resolve it by force-quitting both Chrome and the app in question.
To force-quit both apps, double-tap the Home button on your iPad to bring up the app switcher and then swipe the combined app card upward.
After that, relaunch both apps, re-initiate split-view, and then attempt to copy the images over — you likely won’t run into any issues.

So that’s how you go about saving photos from Chrome to your iOS device. While downloading images to the Photos app and then transferring them to another app works, the other methods are much faster (especially drag and drop on the iPad), and also results in much less clutter. So don’t forget to use them as and when needed.

Converting web pages to the PDF format on Chrome has its uses. Perhaps it's an interesting article that you want to save offline permanently. Or perhaps you want to share a page with others after making a few annotations and such. Whatever the reason, you aren’t limited to saving web pages as PDFs on desktops. You can also do that on mobile devices.
If you use Chrome on your iPhone or Android smartphone, then it’s more than possible to save any web page that you come across in the PDF format. But rather than sharing links to any third-party apps or services and converting web pages to PDFs that way, what I will show you only require the use of native functionality on both platforms.

On the iPhone and iPad, Chrome can appear too simplistic. But in fact, it’s chock full of features that make it a blast to surf with. And it also features the ability to seamlessly convert web pages to the PDF format by ‘printing’ the document.
However, you may have noticed that Chrome for iOS doesn’t have ‘Save as PDF’ or ‘Print to PDF’ options visible anywhere within its Printer Options screen. Nor does it have a Safari-style ‘Copy to Books’ option.
Instead, Chrome requires that you perform a certain two-fingered gesture to do the job instead. Let’s check out where and how to do that.
Step 1: Open a web page that you want to convert. Once it finishes loading, tap the Share icon to the upper-right corner of the Chrome address bar.
Step 2: Scroll down the Share Sheet, and then tap Print. On the Printer Options screen that shows up subsequently, perform a Zoom In (or Pinch Out) gesture on any preview thumbnail. This action will instantly convert the web page to a PDF file.
Tip: Before performing the Zoom In gesture, you can also use the Page Range option within the Printer Options screen to omit unwanted pages from being included within the PDF file.Step 3: Tap the Share icon to the upper-right corner of the PDF file’s preview screen. On the Share Sheet that shows up, either share the file to another app or save it locally.
I prefer saving converted PDF files locally using the Save to Files option. That lets me perform a host of actions using the Files app, such as renaming the file, moving it to another location, sharing it with multiple other apps, etc.

If you use Chrome on your Android smartphone, saving web pages in the PDF format is even more convenient than doing it on the iPhone. That's because the browser has ready access to a dedicated 'Save as PDF' option. That option shows up while using the Print functionality of your Android device.
Step 1: Open a web page, and then bring up the Chrome menu (tap three-dot icon on the upper-right corner of the screen. Locate the Share option, and then tap it.
Step 2: Tap Print on the Share menu. On the preview screen that shows up subsequently, tap Select Printer.
Step 3: Pick Save as PDF on the drop-down menu. Follow up by performing any configurations that you want, such as selecting specific pages or page ranges for conversion, adjusting the paper size, selecting the orientation, etc. Finally, tap the floppy disk-shaped Save icon.
Chrome will then convert and save the web page as a PDF to the Downloads folder of your device, after which you can open or share it with other apps. You can get to it using the Files Manager on your device.
Important: At times, you may not see the Print option on the Share menu. If so, restarting the device will help bring this option back. Alternatively, resetting the Chrome flags will also do the job, although you will lose any modifications made to them — to do that, type chrome://flags into the Chrome address, and then tap Enter. On the screen that shows up, tap Reset All to Default.Also on Guiding Tech
