PNGShot is a sysmodule I developed years ago, which I thought was lost. In combination with bitmap-printer's exefs patches, it allows you to take screenshots and save them as PNGs instead of the system's default JPEG format. The benefits include:

  • Smaller file sizes: Files are smaller than a bitmap, ranging from a couple of hundred kilobytes to just under 2MB, depending on what’s captured.
  • Lossless quality: Unlike JPEG, PNGs are lossless.

How to Use

  • You'll need the exefs patches from Bitmap Printer Switch for now. I might create my own patches in the future, but for now, I don't see the point or have the time to redo work that's already been done.
  • Download the sysmodule from the GitHub repository link at the bottom of this post.
  • Press the capture button to capture the current screen and save it to "sdmc:/switch/PNGShot/[date][time].png".
