yes, see https://love2d.org/wiki/ImageData:encode and the example "Draw a circle to a canvas and save it to a file"

If you give the encode function a filename to use (the second parameter if you check the wiki), it will save the resulting image file in your save folder. The save folder location will depend on system, whether your project is running in fused mode or not, and what your project's app identity is set to.
