About this question

Can using "Save image as" on google images be dangerous? 

I was wondering if some malicious code could be placed in the image file (the formats I am concerned with are JPEG, PNG and WEBP, basically the common formats available when you download from google), for example as metadata, so that it would be executed when opened (or simply downloaded but that seems less likely), and if such malicious images can be obtained from Google Images after right clicking on it after a search and selecting "save image as".
