Lockscreen Image Grabber

Windows 10 users have access to the Spotlight feature, which displays high-quality lock screen photos that are tuned to each user’s preferences. However, extracting these images for other uses can prove difficult, which is why a third-party utility can come in handy.

Lockscreen Image Grabber is an open-source program that extracts all Spotlight images that have been saved locally and provides you with an easy way to copy them somewhere else.

As you may already know, lock screen images are already saved by Windows and can be accessed without third-party software. However, they are stored in a folder that most users will have trouble finding, and they do not have extensions.

Lockscreen Image Grabber simplifies the process of extracting these files, should you wish to use them as desktop backgrounds or just admire them without locking your computer’s screen.

The installation process could hardly be more straightforward, and you can start using the program right away. Once launched, the application looks for every Spotlight picture that Windows has saved on your PC and displays their thumbnails in the main window.

If you double-click a thumbnail, the image will be opened using your default image viewer. If you right-click it, you have the option of saving the picture somewhere else on your PC, copying its path or copying the image to the clipboard. Alternatively, you can just save all the files at once.

In the end, Lockscreen Image Grabber does exactly what the name says, allowing you to access Spotlight images used as lock screen and save them anywhere on your PC. It is very easy to install and access, so even complete novices should not run into any issues.
