Where Does Greenshot Store Its Settings?
Greenshot files all options in one Greenshot.ini, in AppData for installs or beside the exe for portable use.
Last updated
Greenshot's official FAQ answers this in two sentences. One INI file holds every option, and its home depends solely on installer versus ZIP build. No registry, no scattered XML.
Copies demand a stopped Greenshot since the file writes on exit. The single file design makes version control and deployment trivial: push one INI to a fleet and every screenshot tool behaves identically. Log files sit beside the INI in portable mode.
Where Greenshot stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Greenshot\Greenshot.ini
Every option lives in this one file. Copy with Greenshot closed. ZIP builds use Greenshot.ini beside the exe instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate settings?
Copy Greenshot.ini to the matching location with Greenshot closed. Installer builds read AppData, ZIP builds read their own folder. Match the build type or the copy sits unread.
Which build is portable?
The ZIP build stores INI and logs beside the exe for USB friendly portability. Installer builds use AppData. Pick ZIP for roaming toolkits that must leave no trace.
