QUICK ANSWER

How do I save Greenshot screenshots as PNG?

Select Save As from the destination picker and choose PNG when sharp UI text and lossless details matter.

How to do it on Windows

Select Save As from the destination picker and choose PNG when sharp UI text and lossless details matter. Before changing capture or export settings, save any important existing work and check the Windows notification area for a running Greenshot process.

  1. Step 1. Capture a region containing fine text.
  2. Step 2. Choose Save As and select PNG in the filename type options.
  3. Step 3. Open the exported PNG at full resolution.

How to verify the result

UI text and thin lines should remain crisp. Check the actual image file or open capture result instead of relying only on a successful shortcut animation. If the expected output is missing, repeat the task with a known local folder and the tray-menu command.

Common limitation or mistake

Keep in mind: PNG may be larger than JPEG for photographic images.

For repeatable troubleshooting, record your Windows version, Greenshot release, capture mode and chosen destination. Changing one setting at a time makes it easier to identify which adjustment helped.
