Save Config ​

This page is used to set parameters related to saving images.

Save Image Quality ​

  • Save Image Quality: Set the quality of the saved image, ranging from 0-100. The larger the value, the higher the quality and the larger the file.

Note: This setting is invalid for PNG format because PNG is a lossless format and will be saved with the maximum compression rate by default.

Save and Copy to Clipboard ​

When this option is checked, the image will be automatically copied to the clipboard when saving the image manually.

Manual Save ​

These options are used for the behavior when the user actively clicks the save button or presses the save shortcut (Ctrl + S).

  • Save Path: Set the default path of the save dialog for saving images. You can use variables to set the path, for example, $yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss$ will be replaced with the current date.
  • Remember Last Used Extension: When saving an image, the last used extension will be used by default.

Quick Save ​

The shortcut for quick save is Ctrl + Shift + S. When this shortcut is pressed in the screenshot or pin interface, the image will be directly saved to the specified path without popping up a save dialog.

  • Show Notification: Whether to display a notification after saving successfully.

Auto Save ​

After enabling auto save, an image will be automatically saved to the specified path when a screenshot is successful (including copy, pin, manual save).

Variables ​

Supports using variables in the form of %title% in the save path. The variable list is as follows:

  • %title% : The title of the screenshot target window
  • %process% : The process name of the screenshot target window
  • %os% : Current operating system, windows and mac
  • %computername% : Computer name In addition to the above variables, you can also directly use environment variables in the system.

Variable Modifiers

Variables in the save path support variable modifiers '#' and '!'. '#' means taking only a part of the characters before the variable, for example, "%title#10%" means taking only the first 10 characters of the title variable. '!' means removing the suffix of the variable, mainly used for process names, for example, "%process!%" means removing the exe suffix of the process name.

Save by Year and Month Folder

The save path supports saving by year and month folders. You can set the save path to $yyyy$/$MM$, so that the saved images will be saved in folders by year and month.

Example: C:/Users/A01/Desktop/$yyyy$/$MM$/PixPin_$yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss$.png
