Where Does Bandicam Save Recordings?
Bandicam default output folder for recordings and screenshots, and where the setting lives.
Last updated
Bandicam saves recordings and screenshots to an output folder that defaults inside Documents. The in-app output setting overrides the default silently.
Missing recordings almost always mean a custom output path. The settings field, not the default folder, is the first place to look.
Where Bandicam stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Bandicam
Default output for videos and screenshots. Verify in Bandicam General/Output settings, since any custom path overrides this. Move old files by hand after changing it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check or change the Bandicam save folder?
Open Bandicam > General (or Output) settings and read the output folder field. That field is authoritative; defaults below apply until changed. Changing it does not move existing files.
Does the free version save elsewhere?
Unregistered builds cap recordings at 10 minutes and watermark output. The save location is unaffected; only length and watermark change with registration.
