How do I save images in the chrome app on Android?

Also, how do I get it to let me pinch zoom?

Normally, you can press and hold on the image and get a context menu that'll include the option to save it.

But that didn't work for me on this one - I assume it's something to do with the way images are displayed here.

When you run into that, you can generally go back to the thumbnail and press and hold on it and get a context menu there. Keep in mind though that then you're dealing with the thumbnail, so you don't want to save that image. You want either Open Link in New Tab or Download Link. The former will give you an image by itself that you can manipulate or save, and the latter will download the linked image straight to your device.

I hadn't even thought to tap and hold on the thumbnail. Download image and link both seem to download the same file as the one that opens normally, so that worked, thank you very much!
