About This Feature
Overview
Save Screenshot lets you save a captured screenshot as a local image file after you finish capturing or making simple edits. During saving, you can choose the save location, enter a file name, and select an image format such as PNG, JPG, or BMP for later filing, sharing, or reuse.
This feature works well for saving presentation pages, operation records, issue reports, and temporary references. If you need to keep screenshots for later use, organize them by folder, or export them in a specific image format, Save Screenshot supports that basic workflow directly.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you click Save after screenshot editing, then choose a location, file name, and image format to save the screenshot as a local image file. | Microsoft Office apps such as Word support inserting a screenshot or screen clipping into a document. Microsoft also describes taking a screenshot, editing it, saving the file, and then inserting the saved image into a document. | Google Docs supports inserting an image saved on your device into a document and provides image insertion and adjustment options. | Notion supports saving web pages with Web Clipper and uploading images or local files into pages and databases. | Adobe Acrobat Reader provides a Snapshot tool that copies a selected PDF area as an image for pasting into other apps, and Adobe also provides guidance on saving print screen images. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: After capturing a screenshot, WPS provides a direct save flow in one place, including location, file name, and format selection for a local image file. | Compared with WPS: The official workflow focuses more on inserting screenshots into Office documents than on directly saving a screenshot as a standalone image file inside the same feature flow. | Compared with WPS: The official workflow is mainly about uploading an existing image into an online document rather than saving a screenshot as an image file immediately after capture. | Compared with WPS: It is more oriented toward clipping web content or uploading existing files, so saving a screenshot directly as a local image file is not its main entry point. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's official guidance is split between PDF snapshot copying and general screenshot handling, so the path for direct screenshot file saving is less focused on this single task. |

Overall Conclusion
If your goal is to create a local image file right after taking a screenshot, WPS offers a more direct path for that task. Microsoft and Google focus more on inserting images into documents, Notion focuses more on content capture and organization, and Adobe is more often used for PDF-related snapshot workflows.
