Where are Snapmatic shots saved?

[nim]

Game says it's saving them to "Gallery"... Can't find them in the game or on my computer! Anyone know where they are stored?

[Rabid]

okay, nevermind. Every editor I used had issues except the one I didn't, Photoshop. lol

I don't like to post things often, but I've found the solution to the problem and anyone can do it! So I needed to share!

You'll need to download and install notepad++ (free on their website)

Locate your files, it should be somewhere like this:
C:\_Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles\

I would copy all the files that start with "PGTA" and put them in a folder somewhere on your desktop or something, so you don't mess up the original files if you mess something up.

Right click a file that starts with "PGTA" and click "edit with notepad++"
Delete everything before the weird ÿØÿà thing(do not delete the ÿØÿà) Then save the document.

Finally, right click on the PGTA file and rename it. You want to add ".jpeg" to the end of the name to change the file type. Then the thumbnail for the image SHOULD update and you should have no trouble opening up the file as normal!


The only thing is, there's a few PGTA images that don't have the weird ÿØÿà thing so I haven't been able to figure out how to crack that yet. But this worked on the majority of my images! I'll update if I'm able to figure out more. Hope this helped!

There might be more than 70 files in that folder so if you have to add .jpg to each of them one by one it's gonna take a while. instead in the folder where those files are located do this:

• Open the folder and Shift + Right-click in it and select the command prompt in the context menu then enter
  
  
• Ren *.* *.jpg

just to add some info to this: the weird ÿØÿà�JFIF�
thing is called the magic number and denotes the file type, in this case jpg.
read more about magic numbers or file type signatures on wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures

jpg is listed with a few signatures, one of them is "FF D8 FF E0 00 10 4A 46 49 46 00 01" which is bytecode for ÿØÿà�JFIF�

You can use a hexeditor like HxD to edit the file and delete everything in front of the signature (the weird stuff).

[darkleafeon]

Wow, I always wanted to know more about that! Thanks! ^0^

[A Dish Served Warm]

I found my pics in C:\Users\username\Saved Games\CitizenFX\GTA5 if anyone having issues finding em'

Just upload PGTA file here, and convert it, you'll get the picture on the site, and you can download it.

I took a few minutes to write a native tool for this in C. Here's a zip file with an exe build of the tool, along with a copy of the source code in case you don't trust it. The convert.bat script lets you convert many photos at the same time. Just drag one or more PGTA files onto the script to convert all of them at once. This doesn't modify the PGTA files, it just creates new JPGs next to them.

Source code is in the "main.c" file.
