Where Does PicPick Store Settings and Captures?

PicPick keeps picpick.ini in Documents by default, with captures following the auto save path inside it.

Last updated

PicPick stores settings in an INI file that lives in Documents unless portable mode moves it beside the executable. Hotkeys, editor defaults and auto save paths all sit inside.

Portable users get the whole setup in one folder. Switching modes later means copying the INI across, since each location ignores the other completely.

Where PicPick stores this, by platform

Windows
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\PicPick\picpick.ini

Settings for installed mode with portable builds using picpick.ini beside the exe. Captures follow the auto save path defined inside.
