Where are screenshots stored? Simply explained

by Corinna

Where screenshots are stored is an important question when you take screenshots that are important to you. Depending on the device, these are different places.

Where screenshots are stored: Devices and folders

When you take a screenshot, the location can differ. Depending on the device, there are different folders that contain your screenshots. If you make a screenshot, you can usually choose the storage location, but if not, the images can be found in other locations:

  • Windows: If you use the key combination “Windows+PrtScn” or another key combination for the screenshot, you will then find your pictures in the folder “C:\User\Pictures\Screenshots”. Depending on your computer system and device, you may also find the screenshots in the folder “C:\Username\AppData\Local\Temp”.
  • If you cannot find the screenshot, enter the name “Screenshot” in the search line next to the documents. These will then be displayed to you.
  • Mac: On most Mac computers, your screenshots are saved on the desktop under the name “Screenshot [date] at [time].png”. Under macOS Mojave, you have the option of setting the folder yourself in the “Options” of the Screenshots app.
  • Android: The screenshots on your Android device end up in the Photos app or the Gallery. You have immediate access to the file and can send or edit it.
    • iPad/ iPhone: On the iPad or iPhone, you can find your screenshots in the Photos app. All the screenshots you take end up here.
    • External programmes: If you take your screenshots with an external programme, such as Lightshot, you will be asked where the screenshot should be saved. You can choose here where to save the screenshots.
