Accessing saved photos

  • Windows operating systems will store VRChat photos using the default file path of the Pictures folder C:/Users/(Owner)/Pictures/VRChat. Photos will be sorted by month and year. On desktop and PCVR versions of VRChat, opening the Camera tab in the Quick Menu and choosing "Open Photos Folder" will directly open the File Explorer to that file path.
  • Steam users can access their Steam screenshots, separate from VRChat photos using the default file path C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/XXXXXXXXX/760/remote/438100/screenshots
  • Standalone VR users can access their photos through the Files/Photos app on their respective system dashboard or through their respective apps on the user's phone or other device if synced.
  • Mobile devices can access their VRChat photos through the Gallery app, or from the Files app on their device.
