Spotlight Saver

Spotlight lock screen images are certainly impressive, but finding them on your local storage and setting them as your desktop background is not exactly a simple task. Thankfully, though, there are applications that can help you out.

Spotlight Saver is a straightforward, open-source program that extracts these images and creates an easily viewable gallery, while also making it simple to set any of the pictures as your wallpaper.

Spotlight pictures are normally saved in an obscure folder on your drive, without extensions, so it is understandable that finding them is not simple. This application copies them all to your Pictures folder, where anyone can locate them easily.

You can browse the newly-created gallery directly from the application’s UI, which features a minimalistic design. Images are arranged in multiple columns based on the dimensions of the main window.

As nice as it is to have Spotlight images as your lock screen background, many users would like to have them as wallpapers as well. With this application, this task is made a lot simpler.

To make any of the Spotlight images your desktop background, all you have to do is hover over the picture and click the Set as Desktop Wallpaper button.

Nothing really stands out in regards to the GUI, as it has a minimalistic, user-friendly design. From the menu, you can open the images folder on your hard drive or reload the Spotlight gallery.

On the whole, Spotlight Saver is a simple but very useful application for those who want to extract Spotlight images and set them as desktop backgrounds. It does not offer any advanced features, but it is easy to use and doesn’t even need to be installed.
