Can "Save for Web" generate a thumbnail instead of an icon?

Can "Save for Web" generate a thumbnail instead of an icon? Or can the icon be replaced by a thumbnail? Thanks.

I don't think Save for Web embeds any icons or thumbnails, because the whole point of Save for Web is to keep the file size down as much as possible for Web use by not including anything except the image and some text metadata that you choose. If you're seeing a thumbnail or icon, it was probably generated by your operating system and may only be local to your desktop.
If you do want to embed a thumbnail or icon into a JPEG file, you might get one by choosing File > Save As instead. The Save As command is intended to give you the most complete file possible, where Save for Web is designed to give you the smallest file possible.

Save for web & devices' Full page instead of content

I have updated from CS3 to CS5. When I save using "save to web & devices" it brings it up in full page rather than content size, which I am accustomed to in CS3. No, I do not have the artboard ticked in the export dialog box. I am at a loss, please help, I use this feature frequently. Thanks.

Thanks, you guys are very helpful! It reduced the size to nearly the artwork size, but not completely, it left some white space to ther right and below.
This brings up another question though. Do I have to go through the "image size" tab process every time I save to web?
Here is what I am doing:
I created a vector drawing at 48"x24". I resized to 10"x5 . When I click save for web I get the warning window saying that "the image exceeds the size...". I am sure I get this message because the artboard is still 48x24. When I get past that window I have to uncheck clip to artboard eaxch time I save to web. Is this normal for CS5? Hope not. I didn't have these additional steps in CS3.
I also noticed that there seems to still be more res pixalation than I had in CS3.
THANKS

Save for Web only let me save as jpg!

For some reason, I got a file that's only let me do Save for Web in jpg format. I choose png24, click save and it changes to jpg in the save dialog. Then I created a blank doc, copy everything from the problem file over to the new file and I can Save for Web in png just fine.
What's going on?

In the save for web (SFW) dialog box you can see there are more than one slices. All the linked slices (grayed out) are set to save as JPG. Including slice 1. Therefore, the JPG extension mystery. If you drop down under "slices" after clicking the blue save button, and select "selected slices," you'll get a gif (if slice 3 is selected). Or change slice 1 to a gif in the SFW dialog box.

CS5 Save for Web won't let me save to Windows volume

I have a Windows Server 2003 volume mounted through Services for Macintosh (AFP, not SMB, I'm pretty sure). Even though both the Mac and the Windows volume can independently handle filenames longer than 31 characters, because of SFM (I'm assuming) I have never been able to save directly out of any application to that Windows volume with a >31 char file name. This has never been a problem as I've kept my file names short.
Having just installed CS5, however, Save for Web isn't letting me save any file, no matter how short the name: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume." I can Save For Web just fine to my desktop and Save As... to the Windows volume, but not Save for Web to the Windows volume.
The Save for Web is set to "Images Only" (not slices so it's only creating the one file).
Any thoughts? Known issue?
thanks.

That might be part of what is going on (and doesn't look a thing like our internal filenames or anything else I recognize).
Probably it's something internal to the save dialog (NavagationServicesSavePanel), and it assumes that filesystems will be able to handle long names.
Again, using SMB to connect to the server may remove part of the restrictions.
CS3/4 was based on Carbon, and used different APIs for much of the file work.
CS5 moved to Cocoa, and has a new set of file APIs to deal with.

Why can't I save for web in a specific folder using actions?

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to save in a specific folder desitnations when using Actions and Saving For Web with CS6 PS for Windows. It ALWAYS defaults to last folder used. I am not Batch Processing, just using Actions on one image at a time. I have 3 of these actions. Action one is for "Thumbnail" folder, Action two is for "Full" folder, and Action three is for "Large" folder. All these actions are doing is saving for web into these folders (path displays correctly in Action script). HOWEVER after I successfully use Action one and save into the Thumbnail folder and move on to Action 2, it wants to save back into Thumbnail AND NOT into Full folder. In short I now have 3 actions saving to the same folder even though my recording designated 3 different locations. HELP!

Ok...I switched to my home Mac and was having similar issues with the toggle Save for Web window on. Saving to same folder even in Mac OS. Tried your way by keeping toggle off and it worked, saving diff images to different folders. I guess I have to figure a work around for the naming conventions however. My original is a 5 digit number lets say 11111.jpg. When I duplicate / use a sizing action I get two additional photos named 11111 copy.jpg. That is why I kept toggle window on in CS3 so I could simply paste the 11111 name back in the dialogue window so I'd have three diff size photos in three diff folders named 11111.jpg.
These steps might seem super basic but I do these steps for a website all day everyday three months straight without issue and I guess I have to adjust. I usually use orignal photos and have to rename. Is there a way to Duplicate images as the same 11111.jpg instead of 11111 copy.jpg? That way I can just rename the photo at the beginning (red_flower_000ddafjdflj to 11111.jpg) and not use toggle (or rename at all).

How do I USE the slices I generate in Illustrator from "Save for Web"?

I am having trouble understanding slices. I want to save a raster graphic from Illustrator that takes advantage of "slices" to put hyperlinks to certain labels. I am working on a map with about 20 links to a website describing recreation sites shown on the map.
I am able to do this by bringing my map as a graphic into InDesign, and setting up links to text or picture boxes there. I can export an interactive PDF of the map, and the PDF has live links.
but the client's web host can't post the PDF with active links. (client would have to link from a static image to a copy of the PDF on a separate website). We may do this as an interim measure.
So I'd like to go back and figure out how to use slices in Illustrator to do the same thing. I've seen web pages that have a series of sliced-up graphics; I wouldn't wish that on anyone but it's the solution I want to get to.
Illustrator tutorials and help describe how to set up slices, how to type in links in the "slice options" dialogue box (in objects/slices... pulldown menu). And describe how to "save for web" to generate JPEGs or GIFs of the individual slices.
My available options in AI CC 2014 (I checked in CS6 too) are to save the slices as images. (Helpful articles which say to save as HTML and Images...aren't helpful if I don't have that option).
I get a folder called images, that contains about 74 sliced JPEGs of various sizes and shapes. I don't see, nor see an option where I can ask to make...a file that pulls all these together into a single image, with clickable links. There's no HTML file (or way to create one that I can see).
What am I missing? What application would I use to toss this folder's contents together. Or how would I create the HTML or envelope file within Illustrator?
I have entered URLs for links in three or four different places but haven't found a way to export them in such a way that they are actually useful.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I am a print guy, mostly. I've almost figured out CSS for my did-it-myself website, so buttons, actions, slices, etc. are new angles for me. I am hip to the general concept that Adobe likes certain applications to do certain things. It was certainly easier to set up links from InDesign.
In what application would you suggest I DO foolishly create my interactions (raster graphic with multiple links? Does it work any better in Photoshop? The client's web host does the web design (some sort of template thing) so I don't believe I have the option of drawing hot-spots like is (was?) possible in Dreamweaver.
(That may be a question for the web host).
One of the problems with "discontinuing this functionality" is there are about half a dozen how-to guides online that suggest it is still possible to kluge a solution in AI (sometimes in older versions) and it's hard to tell well-executed funtionality from abandoned functionality since Adobe hides instructions in multiple, random dialogue boxes, and left so many of the pieces strewn about the current versions of AI.... How would we really know? But I am not all that surprised they did.

Videos play on iPhone, but not MacBook (page generated by 'Save for Web')

I have QT 10, and I wanted to post a video I made on a personal webpage. I used the 'save for web' option from within QT 10, and it generated the usual ugly HTML page, the MOV file, and the source files that I specified. I edited the HTML to make it look a bit prettier and added the extra content I wanted to have, and uploaded it to my webserver (page is located at http://www.mripatientsafety.com/NERHRM/Resources/NERHRM_TGilk_on_MRI_Safety.html).
The video played when I loaded it on my iPhone, but wouldn't load / display on my MacBook in either Firefox or Safari. I thought it might be something wrong with the MOV wrapper file, so I changed the HTML to skip the MOV and point directly to the MV4 file, but the exact same symptoms persist.
I don't do this often, but I have used the 'Save for Web' feature maybe a half-dozen times before, and I've never had this problem. At this point, I'm thinking that the problem might be:
I'm a dummy and goofed up a section of code and didn't realize it.
There's been updates to Firefox and Safari since the last time I tried this (perhaps a year ago) and they now are unfriendly with the way that QT 10 prepares the HTML.
I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer to help make sure that the video displays properly for the greatest number of viewers.
Thank you in advance.

Further update:
I am trying to import the files to my Macbook Pro (10.10.3) via Photos, and it will not allow me to import them.
I receiving the below error message:
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may to contain valid data).
Reason: The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)
The file types are .mp4 and .mov
Any ideas or recommendations?
I have done a Hard reset, soft reset, and tried resetting network settings.
I have done a Manual Backup to computer and did a backup to iCloud- but I have not restored the iPhone yet, as I am not sure if the files are being backed up or not?
I also tried using a third party transfer app (AnyTrans) to transfer the files to my computer hard drive, but it would not allow the transfer and kept skipping the videos which won't play back (even though it recognizes them - but won't play them back).

Photoshop CC2014: Can't use save for web option PLEASE HELP

Whenever I try and save a small animation as a gif (or anything in save ffor web) this happens http://prntscr.com/4gpseu This happened in CS6 I upgraded thinking it might fix it

As you can see from my screen capture I had no problem problem doing a 30 frame animation with Photoshop CC 2014. You screen capture looks strange. Your save for web screen capture shows frame 2 almost 8MP in size and all pixels are pinkish where the color map shows colors all a single gray for the animation no variation in color are all ??? You selected to only use 128 colors instead of the possible 256 and to do no transparency dither . Have you tried resetting your Photoshop preferences. I showed in my screen capture I was using CC 2014 had 30 frames in my frame animation. Showed what my Save for web looked like. Your Save For Web Capture looks very strange to me. Look at your's here then look a my screen capture. Even when I use the preset you chose GIF 128 No dither and a large image my save for web look nothing like your..

Can't change image size % in save for web

Hello,
I'm using Photoshop CC. When slicing a web mockup, and saving for web, the image percent is blocked at 58.49% and I am not able to increase it to 100%. So my original image of 1024px wide comes out at 600px
I haven't changed any settings (that I know of) and do not have this problem on any other mockup files I have. What setting do I need to adjust in order to save for web my slices at 100%?
Thanks!

I worked out what the issue was, my document height was over 8000px tall which is causing the issue, even though my slices are less than 2000px tall. When I temporarily crop the document to below 7000px, I can save out the slices at 100%. Annoying work around.
It seems a bit random.

When i do file, save for web, i get an error that says " the operation could not be completed. The system cannot find the path specified." What can fix this?

What can i do or where do i look?

Can't 'save for web' in photoshop cc on new mac (yosemite)

I have just upgrade to a new Mac running Yosemite and I can now longer save for web in Photoshop CC
I get an error "no file or directory can be found"
I have notice that in one of my Actions the directories are different on each computer:
on my new computer the directory is shown as:
"in: /Users/myusername/Desktop/"
on my OLD computer (that works) the directory is show as:
"in: Macintosh HD:Users:myusername:Desktop:"
I'm wondering if this is related to my issue when saving
I have spent a lot of time searching and trying different solutions... none have worked

Exit Photoshop CC.
Try deleting the SFW Prefs. It's in this directory:

Error - PS CS5 can't save for web

When trying to save for web (ctrl+alt+shift+S or file save for web) I recieve this error
What is the fix?

Hi there.
I just read and tried the answers above and it worked pefectly.
I have Windows Vista x32
Go to Start and instead of selecting a program .... Type in regedit
A window will appear - make sure that under USER SHELL FOLDERS your PERSONAL FILE has the following path; %USERPROFILE%\Documents
if not double click the folder - and add the path. (mine was showing C:\ )
Close down Photoshop and restart - open a file and then select Save for Web and it should work ... it did for me. (yeah! Thanks to everyone for the help above!)

Is the PNG generated by the "Save As" option the same as the png-24 from the "Save for Web" option?

It would speed up my workflow if I could go through the save for web option rather than the save as. Are these files the same?

No, SaveAs includes more metadata, while SaveForWeb makes the metadata optional.

Batch runs "Save As" instead of "Save For Web"

Hi,
I recorded an action to use for batch automation which included:
- resize image
- Save For Web & Devices (to JPG medium setting)
But when I try to run it, the Save As dialog box shows up after every image. Also, the image optimization is different (turns out about twice the size).
Wonder if anyone might provide some advice on this, thanks!

You probably need a close no save step at the end of your action.
In the save for web dialog, when you record the action, save to the folder you
want the batch dialog to put the images. Then set the batch dialog as below.
