Where Does ShareX Save Screenshots?
ShareX default screenshots folder on Windows and how to change it under Application Settings Paths.
Last updated
ShareX files screenshots by date under Documents, then ShareX, then Screenshots. A typical capture lands two levels deep in year and month folders.
The path is a default, not a rule. Application Settings, then Paths shows the live folder and lets you redirect it without touching config files.
Where ShareX stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\ShareX\Screenshots
Subfolders follow a year/month pattern by default. If captures are missing here, open Application Settings, Paths to see the redirected folder.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change the ShareX save folder?
Open Application Settings, then the Paths tab, and set the screenshot path. New captures use it immediately.
Where is the ShareX config if I want to migrate PCs?
Documents\ShareX covers captures and most data. Portable installs keep everything next to the executable instead.
