Where Does Guild Wars 2 Save Screenshots?
Guild Wars 2 Screens folder in Documents on Windows and Desktop on Mac, plus the GFXSettings config file.
Last updated
On Windows, Guild Wars 2 screenshots land in a Screens folder under Documents, then Guild Wars 2. On Mac they go to the Desktop instead, which surprises switchers.
Graphics settings live separately as GFXSettings XML files under AppData. Screens holds only images, so settings migration needs the other path.
Where Guild Wars 2 stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Guild Wars 2\Screens
Print Screen is the default capture key. GFXSettings files sit under %APPDATA%\Guild Wars 2 for config backup.
~/Desktop
Mac screenshots go to the Desktop, not Documents. Use a Finder sort by kind to round them up after a session.
