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 Switch|bitmap-printer]]. | |||
Download the sysmodule from [https://github.com/J-D-K/PNGShot/releases here]. | |||
Press the capture button to capture the current screen and save it to "sdmc:/switch/PNGShot/[date][time].png". | |||
==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. | |||

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.
Press the capture button to capture the current screen and save it to "sdmc:/switch/PNGShot/[date][time].png".
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.
