How to Save a Screenshot to the PS4

This will save a screenshot to your PS4. You can view it on the PlayStation 4 or transfer it to a USB storage device.

How to Share a Screenshot Directly to Twitter

The prior steps cover the quickest way to take a screenshot on PS4, but not the quickest way to share a screenshot or move a screenshot to another device. Press and hold it for one second. The PlayStation 4 will make a confirmation chime and display a camera icon on the left side of your display. If you’re looking for an older screenshot, however, it’s best to navigate to the folder corresponding to the game in which you took the screenshot, as you’ll no longer have to wade through screenshots from every game. You can view a screenshot by selecting and opening it. Once it’s open, you can zoom in and out, or make basic edits. To do that, select the screenshot in the Capture Gallery and press the Options button on the PlayStation 4 controller. This opens a menu on the right-hand side. Make sure you have a USB storage device connected to one of the PlayStation 4’s USB ports, then select Copy to USB storage device. Once transferred, screenshots can be found on the USB storage device in the folder directory PS4/SHARE/Screenshots. Posting a screenshot to Twitter, and then saving that screenshot to your computer or another device, is often quicker than using the USB storage transfer method described above.
