How To Easily Find Your Steam Screenshots [Best Ways]

How to Find Steam Screenshots in the Steam Client

If you're taking screenshots while you're in games downloaded from Steam as intended, there's a way to see them directly in your Steam client. So here's how you can view Steam screenshots in your client:

1. Open up the Steam client
2. On the top left of the client, click the "View" option
3. Out of all the "View" options, select the "Screenshots" one
4. A new Screenshot Manager tab will open containing the in-game screenshots

This is the case of finding the images if you've taken Steam screenshots properly. It will only display the screenshots made in games downloaded and played from Steam. There are multiple options to select and organize your images in the Screenshot Manager, including:

Do keep in mind that when you upload your screenshots online from your favorite free Steam games, they can be deleted by visiting the screenshot's webpage on your browser. You'll have to log into your account on your browser, and on the webpage below you can delete the online screenshot.

How to Change the Steam Screenshots Folder

If you don't want to keep track of your screenshots online, there's an option to change the folder where the Steam screenshots will be stored in the future. Here's how you can do that:

1. Open the Steam client
2. Click the Steam logo on the top left in the client and select "Settings"
3. On the left of the newly opened window, select the "In-game" category
4. Locate and turn on the "Save an uncompressed copy of my screenshots" option
5. Click on "Change folder" at the "Uncompressed copy of my screenshots" option
6. Change the folder to the one where you want your future Steam screenshots to be located

Once you've changed the Steam screenshots folder, you'll find the screenshots you'll do from this point on in the folder you chose. But for the previous screenshots you've done even while playing DLCs, you can find their physical location within their folder path.

How to Find Steam Screenshot Folder Path For Any PC

If you've already changed the screenshots folder, then head to that one. But if you haven't, there's a different folder path where you can locate your Steam screenshots. This screenshots folder is in the location where you've installed Steam. 

One thing worth mentioning here is that the folder path is different for everyone, and it depends on a random number we'll see below. If you installed Steam on the default location, here are the folder paths for the Steam screenshots folder for Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs: 

• Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\
• Linux: ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/
• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/

Within the "userdata" folder there are other folders represented by number names. You'll want to play around with those until you find a folder that contains a file called "screenshots.vdf".

In that one, open up the folder called "remote". It should have folders with random numbers, but within those are located your Steam screenshots categorized by games.

And that's everything you need to know on locating your Steam screenshots that you took with F12. Do keep in mind that if you delete your Steam account, online uploaded screenshots will get deleted!
