Where Does Greenshot Store Settings and Captures?
Greenshot keeps Greenshot.ini in AppData Roaming, with captures going wherever the output path points.
Last updated
Greenshot separates configuration from captures. An INI file in Roaming AppData holds hotkeys, naming patterns and destinations, while screenshots land in the output folder you configured.
Migration copies both sides. The INI carries behavior and the output path tells you where captures went, though absolute paths inside may need fixing on the new machine.
Where Greenshot stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Greenshot\Greenshot.ini
Settings plus the output path definition. Captures default to Pictures\Screenshots unless changed. Copy the INI to migrate hotkeys and destinations.
