All images processed in this way will be available for viewing all or certain circles of users. Together with this screenshots are saved on the hard disk. To quickly receive pictures in the original form or when randomly cancel the download in Steam Cloud can always be found in one of the local folders. Steam.

View Saved Steam Screenshots

As it has already been said earlier, the process of creating screenshots consists of two stages: you create them, and at the same time they appear in one of the folders on the PC, and then load into the cloud, and they become available for use through the Steam Account. It is not necessary to load them at the cloud - sometimes you can just take a picture and save it on your computer for one-time use. Based on this, then we will look at where screenshots are on your computer and account.

Option 1: Screenshots in Account

Uploaded screenshots to service become available through a separate account of the account. You can just open your profile and go to the "screenshots".

There you can do anything with them anything: Sort by different ways for convenient viewing, putting them privacy, copy direct links to respond to comments if other users leave them.

We will not dwell on the tools of work with screenshots, since this does not apply to the topic of the article.

Option 2: Screenshots on hard disk

To view which images are preserved on the hard disk, use one of the two ways discussed below.

1. The most convenient will be the use of the client - open the "library", right-click on the game and select "View Screenshots".



2. You can also go through the "Screenshots" section from version 1 by clicking on "download screenshots".



3. A universal manager window will open, where you can quickly see the desired pictures or download what you happened happened. You can make it very simple - enough to choose the game, then the image itself, add a description for him, if necessary, placing it as a spoiler, and click on "Download".



4. You can also click on the "Disk" button to view original files. They can be copied from here or remove if it is necessary.

   

   Without launching a client, find them harder. The fact is that the folder with screenshots for each game is far away in the wrong place for the user, in connection with which it will have to search. The general user folder is on the path d: \ steam \ userdata \ 12345678, where D is a disk section with a steam folder, and 12345678 is a personal numerical identifier. The default folder is C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ userdata \ 12345678. Inside it there will be a few numbered folders, where each number corresponds to some kind of defined game in Steam.

   

   When entering each of the folders, you need to try to find the folder with the name "Screenshots". It can be both immediately when entering the main folder and to be embedded in some other. And maybe there is no one at all. As you can see, this method is inconvenient, because it is not clear where what game is and how many folders need to be viewed before finding the desired one.



5. All pictures in the folder are stored in 2 species. The main folder stores a full-fledged original version of the picture, and in Thumbnails, the thumbnails of the screenshots, which are the preliminary version of the main steam tape. According to the miniature, the user fluently can determine, is interesting to him your picture or not.
6. While in "Screenshots", you can not only view images, but also to take out extra, not loaded into the cloud. In addition, each user can add your own image to the folder and download it to your profile, even if it was created not through Steam. However, there is a specific restriction - you need to copy the name of the screenshot that you created while in the game, and which is not needed, run (or restart) the screenshot manager and send a submented image to the cloud.
