Where Are Warframe Screenshots Stored?
Warframe screenshots on Windows, the F6 Pictures folder versus Steam F12 captures and Captura scenes.
Last updated
Warframe runs two screenshot systems side by side. The built in F6 key writes to Pictures/Warframe in the user profile, confirmed across forum threads and the community wiki. Captura compositions export through the same path.
Steam F12 captures follow Steam instead into userdata remote shots for app 230410. The split explains conflicting guides. Check Pictures first for F6 work and the Steam manager for overlay shots. Rebind F6 if a gear slot stole it. Captura exports share the same destination.
Where Warframe stores this, by platform

Frequently asked questions
Which key takes the best screenshot?
Press F6 for the built in capture without extra UI. Files land in Pictures/Warframe. Steam F12 shots go to the Steam userdata tree instead. Captura scenes export through the same F6 pipeline.
Can I hide the interface in shots?
Yes. Toggle the UI free option under Display settings before shooting. Fashion frames and landscapes come out clean. Steam shots keep the overlay regardless.
