Computers have become indispensable devices for most of us, because thanks to them we can perform many functions quickly and easily .

That is why having a good browser is very important, since it will be what allows us to navigate smoothly and be comfortable when searching..
Safari is the default macOS browser, which offers us various security, execution and modern environment functions for millions of users. Through Safari we access thousands of websites where it is possible that at some point we want to download an image hosted there to keep it, add it to a document or simply for later review.
Storing images is quite common, but depending on the browser this may vary. That is why we will now show you all the steps you must follow to know how to save the images you want to save from Safari, on your Mac..
