I want to be a save png file with a script, in script same file name same folder

Thanks in advance

There are many examples in the forum. Do you know how to modify/hack an existing script?

Do you want to use Save As or Export > Save for Web (Legacy)?

What settings?

If the current file was say a JPEG or PSD etc, do you want the current file to remain open by saving a copy, or should the current file now be the PNG?

Do you wish to silently overwrite any existing PNG file with the same name, skip or prompt?

So you don't need file name and a location to be adequate to script properties. Now you say of other prerequisites. Save below script as 'JPG to PNG.jsx' to 'Presets / Scripts' folder of your Ps. Launch app and when your .jpg is open, choose 'JPG to PNG' from 'File / Scripts' menu:

with(activeDocument) saveAs(fullName, new PNGSaveOptions), close()

activeDocument.saveAs(File($.fileName), new PNGSaveOptions)

This script uses Save As a Copy:

#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length !== 0) {

    // Remove the filename extension
    var docName = activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');

    try {
        // Use the previously saved directory path
        var docPath = activeDocument.path;
    } catch (e) {
        // If unsaved, prompt for the save path
        var docPath = Folder.selectDialog('Unsaved file, select the save directory:');
    }

    // File Path & Naming
    var savePNG = new File(docPath + '/' + docName + '.png');

    // Conditional overwrite check
    if (savePNG.exists) {
        // true = 'No' as default active button
        if (!confirm('File exists, overwrite: Yes or No?', true))
            // throw alert('Script cancelled!');
            throw null;
    }

    var saveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
    saveOptions.compression = 0; // 0-9
    saveOptions.interlaced = false;
    activeDocument.saveAs(savePNG, saveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
    activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

    // alert('PNG saved to: ' + '\r' + docPath.fsName);
    // docPath.execute();

} else {
    alert('You must have a document open!');
}

Instructions for saving/installing/running:

1. Copy the code text to the clipboard
2. Open a new blank file in a plain-text editor (not in a word processor)
3. Paste the code in
4. Save the text file as .txt
5. Rename the file extension from .txt to .jsx
6. Install or browse to the .jsx file to run (see below)

This version uses Export - Save for Web:

        var docPath = activeDocument.path;
    } catch (e) {
        // If unsaved, prompt for the save path
        var docPath = Folder.selectDialog('Unsaved file, select the save directory:');
