Destinations

Navigate to the Destination tab and configure as follows:

Uncheck:

  • Select destination dynamically — disables the destination dialog that would otherwise appear after every screenshot

Check as needed:

  • Save directly — saves the screenshot directly to the configured storage location
  • Open in image editor — opens the screenshot in Greenshot's editor immediately (useful if you annotate screenshots frequently)
  • Copy to clipboard — copies the screenshot to the clipboard instantly
