Where Does Genshin Impact Save Screenshots?
Genshin Impact ScreenShot folder inside the game install directory on Windows, and the mobile gallery difference.
Last updated
On PC, Genshin Impact saves screenshots into a ScreenShot folder inside the game install directory itself, not Documents or Pictures. The default is next to the game executable under Genshin Impact Game.
Moving the game moves the screenshots with it, which surprises people used to Documents based games. Mobile captures go to the system gallery instead.
Where Genshin Impact stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game\ScreenShot
Path follows your install choice; HoYoverse launcher defaults differ by version. Sort by date to match shots to sessions, since names are timestamps.
/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/GenshinImpact
In game camera shots save to the gallery path above on most builds. Exact folder may vary by version; check Pictures for Genshin named folders if missing.
Frequently asked questions
I moved Genshin Impact and my screenshots vanished. Where are they?
In the ScreenShot folder of the old install directory. The folder travels with the install, not your user profile, so copy it over.
Where do photo mode pictures go on phones?
To the system gallery (Photos on iPhone, gallery on Android). Only the PC build uses the install dir ScreenShot folder.
