11 Microsoft Translator

At some point, you must have come across a website that was in a different language than yours. Unfortunately, Safari doesn't have the ability to automatically translate web pages to your preferred language. This is where a third-party extension called Microsoft Translator comes in handy. It allows you to quickly translate web pages from one language to another. With just the tap of a button, this extension can translate web pages to the language of your choice. Download: Microsoft Translator (Free)

  1. Download and install Microsoft Translator from the App Store.
  2. Open the app and tap the cog icon to open the app's settings.
  3. Tap 'Safari Translation Language', then select your preferred language.
  4. Now when you're on a web page in Safari which you'd like to translate, open the iOS Share Sheet and tap on the Microsoft Translator icon.
  5. The app will quickly translate the entire web page to the language of your choice.

1Password is one of the best and most secure password management tools for iOS. It saves all of your login details in one place and syncs them across all of your connected macOS and iOS devices. The best feature of 1Password is that it can enter your login details into a web page automatically. All you have to do is to select the login item to be used.

1Password also integrates with Safari so that your login details can be entered automatically. When you're on a page that has a login form, open the iOS Share Sheet and tap on 1Password.

Linky is a handy extension for Safari that allows you to quickly share web page links, images, as well as text extracts to either Twitter or Facebook.

8 Stacks 2

Stacks 2 is another useful Safari extension that allows you to convert currencies right within the browser. You no longer have to depend on Google or third-party apps to do the work.

It will display the font family, font style, size, weight, as well as the line height. Download: WhatFont (Free)

6 Save Images

You can easily save images in Safari with a tap and hold gesture, but what if you wanted to save all the images on a particular web page all at once? This is where a third-party extension known as Save Images comes into play.

It will find and display all the images that are available on the page. Tap Select in the top right corner, choose the images which you'd like to save, then press the Save button. All the selected images will get saved to your iPhone's Camera Roll. It's as simple as that. Download: Save Images (Free)

5 Mail to Self

Sometimes, you might want to send a webpage link from your iPhone to your computer so that you can view it there. You could do this manually by sending yourself an email containing the webpage link, but it's not as convenient. Mail to Self is a Safari extension that allows you to email the webpage link to yourself with just the tap of a button.

Once you install the app, open it and verify your email address. Now open the page in Safari which you'd like to email to yourself, then press the share button.
