Where are my screenshots saved in Snap by Zaweba?

Snap by Zaweba saves screenshots in Pictures\Snap by Zaweba with dated names. Save As lets you pick another folder, and the last 50 stay in History.

Where are my screenshots saved in Snap by Zaweba?

When you press Ctrl+S, Snap by Zaweba saves your screenshot into a folder called Snap by Zaweba inside your Pictures folder, with a dated name such as Snap 2026-09-28 14-32-05. Save As lets you choose another folder and another format, and your last 50 captures are also kept in Snap's history, where you can reopen them from the tray.

So there are three places a screenshot can be: the clipboard, the Pictures folder, and the history.

The clipboard first

Most captures never need to be saved. Ctrl+C copies the finished picture to the clipboard as a PNG and a bitmap, which almost every program accepts, and you paste it into an email, a chat or a document. There is also an option to copy automatically when the editor closes, which suits people who always paste.

If you copied a screenshot and cannot find it anywhere on disk, that is why: it was never saved. Look in the history instead.

The Pictures folder

Ctrl+S saves the result as a PNG or JPG into Pictures\Snap by Zaweba. Open File Explorer, click Pictures in the left-hand pane, and the folder is there. The dated names mean files sort in the order you took them, and you can find a capture from a particular afternoon by its time.

If you want a screenshot somewhere else, such as a project folder, use Save As. It lets you pick the folder and the name, and choose between PNG, JPG and the editable .ozsnap format.

The history of the last 50

Snap keeps your last 50 captures as editable .ozsnap files, whether or not you saved them yourself. Right-click the tray icon and the newest five are listed in the menu; the History menu shows all 50 with thumbnails. Open one and every arrow, box, blur and crop is still editable, and your edits save back.

That makes the history a safety net. If you closed the editor too soon, or sent a picture and need to change one label, reopen it from there. When the history fills up, the oldest capture makes room for the newest, so save anything you want to keep for longer. You can clear the history from the tray menu or from Settings.

PNG, JPG or .ozsnap

A PNG keeps text and interface edges crisp and is the usual choice for screenshots. A JPG is smaller, which helps when a capture is mostly a photo. An .ozsnap is a ZIP holding the original capture, every mark, the crop and a small preview, so you can change anything later.

Because the .ozsnap holds the original, unblurred picture, keep it for yourself and share a PNG or JPG. Exported PNG and JPG files contain only the pixels you can see, with blur and black out applied to the pixels themselves and no metadata.

Keeping things tidy

The Pictures folder will grow if you save every capture. A simple routine helps: copy for one-off messages, save only what you will need again, and move finished sets of screenshots into the folder of the job they belong to. If you work on several PCs or keep backups, the Pictures\Snap by Zaweba folder is an easy one to include, since it holds only your own saved captures.
