You can use
bool QImage::save ( const QString & fileName, const char * format = 0, int quality = -1 ) const
To save your QImage
Saves the image to the file with the given fileName, using the given image file format and quality factor. If format is 0, QImage will attempt to guess the format by looking at fileName's suffix.
The quality factor must be in the range 0 to 100 or -1. Specify 0 to obtain small compressed files, 100 for large uncompressed files, and -1 (the default) to use the default settings.
Returns true if the image was successfully saved; otherwise returns false.

If the method returns false, is there a diagnostic that tells you what the problem was? – Richard Jessop Jan 30 '19 at 15:25

1@RichardJessop I would change a bit the structure and call [`QImageWriter::errorString`](http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qimagewriter.html#errorString) – Thomas Ayoub Jan 30 '19 at 17:27
