Motivation

Click to expand

In 2024, there was a significant surge in the development of AI applications, and I was particularly impressed by the advancements in text-to-image generative AI technology. Over the course of a year, I used several applications, like Copilot, to generate images. As a result, I amassed a considerable collection of generated images, some of which were truly remarkable and worth preserving.

To ensure the safekeeping of these images, I discovered FileLu, a platform that provides secure cloud storage and easy-to-integrate APIs. Given my preference for using Firefox, I decided to create this add-on to streamline the process of saving images from websites directly to my online storage. This add-on not only simplifies the workflow but also ensures that my valuable images are stored securely and efficiently.
