Where to find Steam screenshot folder: Windows, Mac & Steam Deck

If you’re wondering where to find the Steam screenshot folder on Windows, Mac, or the Steam Deck, we have all you need to find your favorite gaming on every system.

Valve’s Steam platform is a bustling app for not just buying and playing games, but taking screenshots of your favorite gaming memories to keep forever. Whatever system you use, a Windows PC, Mac, or Steam Deck, your images will automatically be added to the Steam app.

You can always access your screenshots, which you can host publically, or privately, through Steam itself. However, an uncompressed copy of your images will also be saved and tucked away on your system in a Steam screenshot folder. Whatever your system of choice, we’ve made this handy guide to make finding your Steam screenshots folder a breeze.

• Select ‘Screenshots’
• Select ‘Show on disk’

The easiest way to access your Steam screenshot folder is through Steam itself. Open up Steam and find the ‘View’ menu on the upper toolbar. It might be difficult to see at first due to its small text, so if you’re having trouble, you’ll find it in the top left corner of the Steam app window, next to the small Steam text and logo.

Click on ‘View’ and a long drop-down menu will open up. From here, scroll down and click on the ‘Screenshots’ sub-menu option, to be taken to the Steam Screenshot Manager.

Within the Steam Screenshot Manager, you’ll be presented with a list of all the most recently uploaded screenshots you’ve taken on Steam on your Windows PC, Mac, or Steam Deck. From this screen, click on the ‘Show on disk’ option, which is represented by a small icon of an open folder.

After clicking ‘Show on disk’, your Steam screenshots folder on your system will automatically open up, giving you access to uncompressed versions of all your Steam screenshots.
