A sysmodule that can take screenshots and save them as PNG's instead of the system's default JPEG. The benefits are that:
- Files are smaller than a bitmap, ranging from a couple of hundred kilobytes to just under 2MB, depending on what’s captured.
- Unlike JPEG, PNGs are lossless.
Installation
For now you will need the exefs patches from bitmap-printer.
Download the sysmodule from here.
User guide
Screenshots are exported to "SDMC:/switch/PNGShot/[year][month][day][hour][minutes][seconds].png" when the capture button is pressed.
They are standard RGB, containing no alpha to minimize size. They are captured using the screenshot viLayer, so they do contain the same watermarks as normal screenshots. This can easily be changed by editing line 99 for the "experimental" build or 170 of capture.c in PNGShot's source.
