 Note: As of GDevelop 5.0.0-beta92 the screenshot action is no longer an extension. Just add an action and search for `screenshot` or go to `Other Actions`/`Screenshot`/`Take screenshot`.

 Relative paths are not supported.
 
+If the path does not end with `.png`, the extension automatically adds it, so the screenshot is always saved as a PNG image.

 !!! note
 
     In order to create a game that runs on all supported platforms you should use the special folders from the file system extension in combination with the path separator. These determine the path to common folders like *Pictures*, *Documents* or *Desktop* automatically. You can read more about it in [this article](/gdevelop5/all-features/filesystem).
