Where Does Snipaste Store Settings and Snips?
Snipaste keeps config in %APPDATA%\Snipaste, with pinned snips living in memory unless explicitly saved.
Last updated
Snipaste splits persistent settings from ephemeral snips. Hotkeys, naming rules and output paths live in its AppData folder, while pinned screenshots float in memory until saved.
That split surprises people who close the app with pins on screen. Unsaved pins vanish with the process. Save important pins to files through the toolbar before quitting.
Where Snipaste stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Snipaste
Config and preferences. Pinned snips persist only in memory during the session. Quick save output goes to the path set in preferences.
Frequently asked questions
where are my snipaste pinned images saved
Nowhere unless you saved them. Pins live in memory and die with the app. Use the save button on each pin to write files.
how do i back up snipaste settings
Copy the Snipaste AppData folder with the app closed. Hotkeys and output paths restore by pasting it back.
