where are minecraft screenshots saved

Minecraft screenshots are saved in different folders depending on which version and platform you’re using.

Java Edition (PC)

On Windows Java Edition , screenshots taken with F2 are stored here:
C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\screenshots [][][] Quick way to get there:

1. Press Win + R, type %appdata%, and hit Enter.
2. Open the .minecraft folder, then open screenshots.

On macOS Java Edition , the path is:
~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/screenshots (you may need to use “Go → Go to Folder…” in Finder to reach ~/Library). [][] On Linux , it’s usually:
~/.minecraft/screenshots inside your home directory. []

Bedrock Edition (Windows 10/11)

For Windows 10/11 Bedrock , screenshots taken via the Game Bar (Win + G) are typically saved in:
C:\Users\[Your Username]\Videos\Captures

Some Bedrock‑style installs (like the Microsoft Store app) may store screenshots in:
C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\Screenshots [][]

Mobile (iOS / Android)

On iOS , screenshots taken with the device’s normal method (Side + Volume Up) go into the Photos app. [] On Android , they’re saved in the Photos / Gallery app , or under a folder like Pictures/Screenshots in your device storage. []
