Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the "Save as a new photo" button work in most browsers?
  • Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera
  • Safari on Mac desktops and laptops
  • Safari 13 or higher on iOS devices

When you click or tap the  Save as a new photo  button, the Slim Picture Maker saves your modified image in your Downloads folder using the following file name format:

    sp-yyyy-mm-dd-at-hh-mm-ss-minus-nn-percent.jpg     OR
    sp-yyyy-mm-dd-at-hh-mm-ss-plus-nn-percent.jpg

The users of Windows can find their Downloads folder in File Explorer.
Technically, it corresponds to the folder C:\Users\username\Downloads.

The users of mobile devices can find the newly saved photo files in their Files app.
It is a file management app available on both Android and iOS devices.

Samsung's Android-based devices may have the file management app My Files.

Enabling the Save As dialog option

Most browsers can be configured to give you more control at the time of saving a file, for example Chrome has an Advanced Settings option described as:
  "Ask where to save each file before downloading".

If you enable this option, the browser will start using a Save As dialog box that allows you to select the destination folder and to specify the name of the new photo file. You can either accept or change the folder and the file name suggested by the Slim Picture Maker.

Bear in mind that if you ever decide to change the unique file name (with the current date and time) suggested by the Slim Picture Maker to the name of an existing file, the browser will display a prompt asking you to confirm that you want to replace that file.

2) How does the "Save as a new photo" button work in Safari 11 or 12 on iOS devices?

When you tap the  Save as a new photo  button, Safari 11 or 12 on iOS devices only prepares the image for saving and displays it in the same browser tab or a new browser tab, at which point you have to save it manually as described below.

Saving manually on iPads, iPhones, and iPods

    Press and hold the displayed image and select the Save Image option.

When an image is saved manually, Safari comes up with the name of the new photo file.

3) Can I rename an image already saved as a new photo file?

Yes, you can rename a photo file already saved on your device to a name you prefer.
The renaming procedures are briefly described below.

Renaming on desktops and laptops

Find the saved photo file, right-click on it, and select the Rename option.

Renaming on iOS devices

Find the saved photo in the Files app, long press it, and select the Rename option.

Please note that the Photos app doesn't allow you to rename a photo file. You have to use the Files app.

Renaming on Android devices

Find the saved photo in the Files app (or in the My Files app on Samsung's Android‑based devices), long press it, tap the menu (3 dots), and select the Rename option.

If you need more information about renaming files on your particular device, find a relevant online resource.

4) Can I print a modified image?

You have to save it first and then you can print it like any other photo file.

Use the  Save as a new photo  button to save your modified image as a new photo file. Then print the new photo file using your photo print application.

5) Why does the Slim Picture Maker ask me to upgrade my browser?

The Slim Picture Maker depends on certain features that are available in most modern browsers. You will see a browser upgrade request only if you have an older browser that doesn't support the required functions.
