What it handles

A Mac Preview image saver with the boring parts handled.

Preview Auto Save is built for anyone who ends up with dozens of open Preview windows after screenshots, image exports, AI image generations, receipt captures, or visual review sessions. It turns that pile into one timestamped Desktop folder and then closes the saved images.

Untitled images

Saves unsaved Preview documents as PNG files instead of making you name them one by one.

Existing files

Keeps normal image filenames and extensions when Preview already knows the source file.

Duplicate names

Adds clean numbered suffixes so a batch never overwrites an earlier save.

Careful closing

Closes documents after a successful save and leaves failures open so nothing disappears silently.

Use cases

Batch save Preview images on Mac without naming each file.

If you need to save all images open in Preview, Preview Auto Save removes the repetitive Save As loop. Run it once and it collects open Preview images into a clean folder.

It is useful for creators, designers, researchers, sellers, and anyone reviewing many image files at once. Existing file names are preserved when possible, and unsaved Preview images become PNG files.
