It's funny, because even though they are there, Steam won't let you upload them....

Use Steam's F12 screenshot to upload....

By the way, what a NECRO!

If you use Steam's F12 to take a screenshot... they are currently saved in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\8665464\760\remote\244850\screenshots

Such a massive pain to find.

I use PicPick overides PrintScreen and F4 brings screen shot into editor then you can save anywhere.

Just open the Steam's Screenshot Manager and click "Show on disk" button. It will take you directly to the directory without any pain.

BTW the path you posted depends on where you installed the Steam client and on your user's Steam32 ID, i.e. it isn't the same on every computer.

NONE of this works for me... F12, F4, still not finding them anywhere on my hard-drive. My appdata folder does not even show space engineers.

SE folder is set hidden on our C: Drive but you should be able to open it with the following steps :

Hit the Windows key + R = opens the "Run" window to type in :
%appdata%\SpaceEngineers

> Goes to the SpaceEngineers folder
C: users / your username / appdata / roaming / spaceengineers

F4 screenshots goes there ^ but in the folder named Screenshots.

Info +
F12 screenshots goes to your Steam games Library but must select SE game in the list so you can Publish your screenshot to SE community that will go to the "Screenshots" link on top of the Forum.

Note

We lock +3 months old discussions because the game is not the same after a update where old disscussions may contain false information, discussions that don't have any activity so no new posts since 3 months. also to avoid community reports about "Necroing old" and it is in the forum rules added to pinned green messages.

Never be shy to create a new forum discussion, one problem at a time so all can help on one idea/player per discussions that matches the game version.

Zielite, I just noticed in the new Steam version we can enable Steam "Screenshots Manager" set to open auto on exiting the game after taking F12 screenshots.

Go to :
1 - Click Steam in top left corner of your Steam app.
2 - Select "Settings".
3 - Slelect "Cloud".
4 - Enable "Screenshots Management".


EDIT
We are in 2025 so not the same in 2014 when that discussion was created.
