Save and name an image
The first time you save an image, you name it and choose where to save it — on your desktop or in a folder, for example. Thereafter, Pixelmator Pro automatically saves your image as you work. You can rename an image at any time or create a duplicate of it with a different name.

- Do one of the following:
- Choose File > Save (from the File menu at the top of your screen).

To choose where to save the image, click the arrow next to the Where pop-up menu, then choose a location (for example, a folder or your desktop) in the dialogue.
