  * @class Saver
  *
- * @brief A class enabling saving a paint in a binary format.
+ * @brief A class for exporting a paint object into a specified file, from which to recover the paint data later.
+ *
+ * ThorVG provides a feature for exporting & importing paint data, the Saver has a role to export it to a file.
+ * Basically, this feature is useful when you need to save the composed scene or image from a paint object and recreate it later.
+ *
+ * The file format is decided by the extension name(i.e. "*.tvg") while the supported formats depend on the TVG packaging environment.
+ * If it doesn't support the file format, it will return the @c NonSuppport result by the save() method.
+ *
+ * Once you export a paint to the file successfully, you can recreate it using the Picture class.
+ *
+ * @see Picture::load()
