Windows 11’s Snipping Tool gives you instant access to the Screenshots folder
From gaining quicker access to screen recording to allowing users to add emojis to screenshots, the Snipping Tool in Windows 11 has gotten way better in the last few months. While it still lags behind some third-party screenshot tools in certain areas, Snipping Tool recently secured a new option to finally end the hassle of finding the location where all your screenshots are saved.
What’s the default location for the Screenshots folder?
If you haven’t moved the Screenshots folder to any other location, you’ll find it by opening File Explorer and going to Pictures > Screenshots. This is the default location. And even though the Snipping Tool’s new feature doesn’t require you to remember the default location of the folder, you’ll still want to keep it in your memory in case you need to move the folder somewhere else.
If you end up forgetting the location you moved the Screenshots folder to, the new option in the Snipping Tool will help you find that instantly. However, it’s worth noting that, if you’re a Windows 10 user, you don’t have this capability yet.
