Where Does PixPin Store Data and Screenshots?
PixPin keeps its local data under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\PixPin\Data on Windows and ~/Library/Application Support/PixPin on Mac.
Last updated
PixPin centralizes its local state in a Data directory: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\PixPin\Data on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/PixPin/ on macOS. Config, history and the screenshot record live there.
Your actual captures are a separate question. The save dialog path, the Quick Save folder and any auto-save folder are set on the Config > Save page, and those folders survive both reinstalls and uninstalls. Back up the Data directory before migrating machines, then re-point the save folders on the new one.
Where PixPin stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\PixPin\Data
Official FAQ names this as the data to back up before reinstalling. Crash logs (pixpin.log plus a Crashpad folder) sit one level up, directly under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\PixPin.
~/Library/Application Support/PixPin/
Same role as the Windows Data folder: config and history. Your Quick Save and auto-save folders are configured separately on the Config > Save page.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change where PixPin saves screenshots?
Open Config, then the Save page, and set the Quick Save folder there. Pair it with a custom action and a shortcut for one-press screenshot plus save to that folder.
Does uninstalling PixPin delete my saved screenshots?
No. PixPin leaves Quick Save and auto-save folders alone on uninstall, so reinstall and point the Save page back at the same folders. Still, export a backup from Config before major surgery.
