image from google images downloading as document on mac

As I try to download/save any image from google images on safari, it downloads it as a document.

Additionally, the photo wouldn't add to photos app on its own. Even if I long press it to 'add to photos', it opens an untitled document, unreadable by the app.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Try changing the extension to .jpg and see if it will be recognized as an image.
