Microsoft Edge Image Collections

Question

Does saving an image on Microsoft edge store it on the device? If the image contained malicious code would saving the image within the browser put the device at risk?

Answer 1

Hello !

When you save an image in a Microsoft Edge collection, Edge stores a copy of that image in your browser’s profile data on your device.
The data is saved in a database file inside your Edge user profile folder on your computer.
Saving an image normally doesn’t run code, but the best practice is to only save content from trusted websites or sources.
