File Format Types

There are 28 different file formats to select from. Select a format by clicking on it in the scrolling list. File format types and options are available only for Image and Printer capture modes. See What File Format Should I Choose? below for help deciding which file format to use.

Select the Show advanced types checkbox to view all 28 file types. Remove the check mark to view the list of file types without including the advanced file types.

There are two choices for setting File Format:

Remember last used format:
Enabling this option sets the default file format to the last used format. Anytime this profile is used, the default file type shown when saving is the last format type that was used.
Always use this file format:
Enabling this option sets the file format to always be the same for every capture completed with the profile.

The following table contains a list of all available file formats (including advanced types) and the options relating to each one.

MHT - Web Page with Image Note: MHTML is similar to an HTML Web page, except that the HTML and images are combined into a single file. MHT is useful for quickly sharing an image along with simple links/hotspots with just one file and is most useful in e-mail, where the Web page, complete with images, is inserted directly into the body of the e-mail in Outlook and Outlook Express.
