A Chrome extension that batch converts Google Photos motion photos into static images in one click. Solves the problem of motion photos taking up extra storage and being incompatible with many platforms.

Why this is interesting

Google's continued push into Pixel hardware has grown the motion photo user base steadily, and the frustration of incompatible files showing up as videos on Etsy, Shopify, or print services is a real, recurring complaint in photography forums. No clear incumbent owns this specific workflow — Google's own tools don't batch-convert, and workarounds involve manual exports or clunky desktop apps. The $500–2k/mo revenue band is realistic only if pricing is structured as a one-time purchase or low-cost lifetime deal, since users have a single-use problem they solve once and churn; subscription pricing will see brutal abandonment. The biggest risk is Google shipping this natively — it's a small enough feature gap that it could disappear in a Photos update with zero warning, stranding any paid user base overnight.
