save as

Export with name

Save as is a computer command that stores a file under a new name or location, preserving the original.

Unlike save, which overwrites the existing file, save as creates a distinct copy: I'll save as a PDF before sending.

The command appears in nearly all software that handles documents, images, or other files.
