However, Snip and Sketch does use a different file naming convention from its older cousin. Snip and Sketch’s folder selection works in a similar fashion to the Snipping Tool’s, by defaulting to the Pictures library, but remembering a different folder if the user chooses to save their snips elsewhere. However, it does remember the file type of the previously saved snip when saving a new snip. As soon as the user saves a snip to a different folder, the software remembers the folder and will default to the new folder in future.īy default, the Snipping Tool will try to name the file ‘Capture’ for each use of the ‘Save As’ command. Starting with the Windows Accessory, Snipping Tool, this software allows the user to save their snip to the Pictures library by default. A common question on many Windows forums is where does the Snipping Tool save my snips? So we thought we’d take a quick look at the Snipping Tool as well as Snip and Sketch and where they save the user’s snips.
