Minecraft Screenshot Sharing
AlaCraft Screenshot Sharing turns a Minecraft screenshot into a short link you can paste into Discord, a forum thread or a bug report. Drop a PNG, JPEG or WebP file here, or install the free Ala Screen mod and send the picture straight from the game with one key. Every image is decoded and rebuilt on our side, so camera data, file paths and anything else hidden in the original file never leaves your computer. Links are unlisted, never indexed by search engines, and you can delete yours at any time.
How to share a Minecraft screenshot
-
Take the screenshot
— F2 saves a picture into the screenshots folder inside .minecraft. On Windows the quickest way there is Win+R, then %appdata%\.minecraft. Modded launchers such as CurseForge or Modrinth keep a separate instance folder with the same structure inside.
-
Drop it here
— Drag the file onto the box above, or press Browse. PNG, JPEG and WebP are accepted, and the image is rebuilt from its pixels before it is stored so nothing hidden in the original file travels with it.
-
Paste the link
— You get a short link that unfolds into the picture in Discord, on a forum or in a bug report. Send that instead of an attachment nobody can open on a phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Minecraft save screenshots?
Pressing F2 writes a PNG into the screenshots folder inside .minecraft. On Windows press Win+R and type %appdata%\.minecraft; on macOS the folder is ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft; on Linux it is ~/.minecraft. Modded launchers such as CurseForge, Modrinth or Prism give each instance its own folder with the same structure inside.
Who can see the screenshot I upload?
Anyone who has the link. It is not listed in search engines and cannot be found by browsing the site, but there is no password on it — think of it the way you would think of an unlisted video. If you uploaded something you should not have, delete it with the button on the page.
What happens to the metadata in my file?
It is dropped. The image is decoded and re-encoded from its pixels before anything is stored, so what we serve is a picture we produced: camera and editing data, text chunks and anything else riding along in the original file do not survive that step. Only the picture itself does.
How long is a screenshot kept?
Ninety days after the last time it was opened, not ninety days after you uploaded it. A link people keep using keeps working; a link nobody opens is deleted automatically. You can also delete your own screenshot at any moment from the page where you created it.
What files can I upload, and how big?
PNG, JPEG and WebP, up to 10 MB and up to 26 megapixels. The format is decided from the file itself rather than from its name, so renaming something to .png will not get it through. The current limits are published at /api/v1/screenshots/limits.
Is there an API?
Yes, and reading needs no key. POST /api/v1/screenshots uploads an image and returns the share link plus a one-time delete token, GET /api/v1/screenshots/{id} returns its details, and the full contract is published at /api/v1/screenshots/openapi.json. It is what the Ala Screen mod uses.
