Finding your precious VRChat memories can be a bit of a scavenger hunt, depending on how you captured them. Let's break down the different ways you might have saved images and where to find them.

Screenshots: Your Computer's Default Save Location

If you took screenshots directly within VRChat using your operating system's screenshot function (e.g., Print Screen on Windows, Shift-Command-3 on Mac), these images will be saved in your computer's default screenshots folder. This location varies slightly depending on your OS and settings, but common locations include:

• Windows: Usually found in Pictures > Screenshots.
• macOS: Typically saved to the Pictures folder on your desktop.

Tip: Check your operating system's settings to confirm the exact location of your screenshots folder. You can usually find this under display settings or system preferences.

Video Recordings & Screenshots from Recording Software

If you used third-party recording software like OBS Studio, NVIDIA ShadowPlay, or others, your screenshots and video recordings will be stored in the output directory specified within that software's settings. This location is completely customizable, so you'll need to check your recording software's settings to find where you saved your VRChat captures. Common default locations are within the program's own folder or a dedicated "Recordings" or "Videos" folder.

VRChat's Built-in Photo Mode (If Available)

While VRChat doesn't have a dedicated, built-in photo mode in the same vein as some other games, some users may utilize the in-game camera features in conjunction with external screenshot tools to create high-quality images. In this case, the image's location would depend on where the screenshot tool saves its files (as mentioned in the first section).

Important Considerations

• Cloud Storage: If you use cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud, your screenshots might also be synced automatically to these services. Check your cloud storage folders if you can't locate the files on your computer.
• File Organization: Consider creating a dedicated folder for your VRChat screenshots and videos to keep them organized. This will make it much easier to find them later.

By checking these locations, you should be able to track down your VRChat photos. Happy hunting!
