Steam has a built-in screenshot function, which uses the F12 key by default to capture a picture of the game you’re playing. It’s a bit complicated to access though since Steam splits them up by game and hides them behind a bunch of folders.
Where Are My Steam Screenshots?
We’re using Windows for our example here. Linux and macOS work much the same way but have different folder names.
Steam stores its screenshots in the following folder on your Windows PC:
C:Program Files (x86)Steamuserdata{Your Steam ID}760remote{The Game's ID}screenshots
On Linux, it’s at:
~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/{Your Steam ID}/760/remote/{The Game's ID}/screenshots
And on Mac, it’s at:
Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/{Your Steam ID}/760/remote/{The Game's ID}/screenshots
The problem is it’s split up by game, and you probably aren’t sure which game “252490” is.
It’s much easier to access a game’s screenshots by right-clicking the game in your Library and clicking “View Screenshots” in the dropdown menu.
