Anyone know what type of pepper this this? I want to save the seeds but google image search isn’t helping me and I have no idea.

Fresno peppers

There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of ‘varieties’ of chili across the world, with like four or five domesticated species. Google isn’t going to know one chili from another just based on an image, no matter how good that image is. New varieties of chili happen frequently too, because they’re a popular plant to grow and many people save their seeds.
At a first glance, it looks like it belongs to Capsicum annuum, the most commonly cultivated species chili, and potentially might be something like a cayenne pepper or some relative or derivative, but it’s really, really hard to be sure.

Does it taste good? That’s what really matters! Is it sweet or spicy? Fleshy or thin walled? At first glance I’d guess a Fresno or guajillo, unless there’s little to no heat, then maybe something like Beaver Dam. There are tons of chilis that are a similar size and shape, and a number of sweet peppers have that corne de toro shape, as well.

I disagree with Fresno, looks like it could be a version of an Espelette though.
As others have stated, there are many varieties of chile, many of which can cross pollinate. If that is the only variety that you & neighbors grew, you can save seed & be relatively certain you’ll end up with the same next year. Bees can often travel pretty far though. If more than 1 variety was around which pollinated that plant’s flowers, you’ll get varying chiles produced by plants whose seeds you save.
