SavePictureAs is one of those programs you are either going to love or hate. Not because of how it performs, but because of its entire point of being. If you find yourself saving tons of pictures from the internet to your computer in different folders, you will love it. If not, there is no reason to get it.

Discussion

SavePictureAs is a very simple program. In short, it allows you to setup custom hotkeys that will automatically save pictures you find on the internet to different folders. This is great for people who do a lot of picture hunting online, but not so great for people who don’t. If you don’t think this function sounds useful, I can save you some time by saying there is no need to continue reading this review, because that is the only function this program performs. This is not a bad thing, but it is not one of those programs that has a ton of abilities.

For the most part, the program is extremely easy to use. Simply unzip it in the location you want, and start setting up some different folders. The program is completely portable, but since you are designating certain hotkeys to certain locations, the debate on just how portable this program is, is kind of up in the air. At the very least, you can say that it does not have to be installed.

After getting it installed, you can setup your hotkeys. Each hotkey will be linked to a different folder on your computer. So let’s say you like getting pictures of cars, boats and animals (I don’t know…just coming up with random ideas here). You could set up a hotkey for each different category. When you find a car picture, you can hit a certain key, and the picture will download to the correct folder. That being said, you better not have more than 5 different folders you save to a lot, because it only gives you 5 hotkey setups.

The biggest problem I have with this program is the fact that it does not work with every browser. In fact, if you don’t use Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera or Chrome, you are simply out of luck. Although these are some of the most popular browsers, there are others out there who use other ones. It would have been nice to see some support for them.

CONCLUSION AND DOWNLOAD LINK

I wish there was more I could say about SavePictureAs. However, the program is very simple. It is made for people who like saving pictures they find online. If you do a lot of this, the program is perfect for you, and I recommend it. If not, don’t waste your time; it is as simple as that.
