Switch 2: How to Transfer Screenshots to PC and Mobile Phone

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 represents a significant leap forward compared to its predecessor, but there’s still room for further refinements to make it an absolute essential purchase. At present, not all games designed for the original Switch 1 are fully compatible, and enhanced analog sticks would significantly enhance the system’s capabilities. Despite these minor shortcomings, the Nintendo Switch 2 delivers on the expectations of fans, and overall, it has been well-received by most people.

Of course, players would be eager to exhibit their screen captures from the latest console, as the stunning visuals of Mario Kart World have been quite trendy on social platforms. Fortunately, there are several methods to transfer your screenshots from Switch 2 to your computer, albeit one method might seem a bit unusual.

How Do You Transfer Switch 2 Photos and Videos to a PC?

To transfer photos and videos from your Switch 2 to a PC, follow these simple instructions:

  • On the Switch 2 Home menu, go to System Settings
  • Scroll down and go to Data Management
  • Scroll down again and pick Manage Screenshots and Videos
  • Select Copy to a Computer via USB Connection
  • Plug the transfer cable into the bottom USB-C slot

For clarification, users should insert the cable into the lower USB-C port, as Nintendo Life found out that using the upper USB-C slot didn’t work. Although the reasoning behind this may be known to the company, it remains a bit peculiar for the latest system configuration.

How Do You Transfer Switch 2 Photos and Videos to Your Phone?

Transferring pictures and videos from your Switch 2 to a mobile device follows a straightforward procedure, if not simpler than before:

*Note: The exact method may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your phone.

1. First, ensure that both your Nintendo Switch 2 and your smartphone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

2. On your Nintendo Switch 2, navigate to the ‘Album’ or ‘Screenshots/Videos’ section within the system settings.

3. Select the photos or videos you wish to transfer.

4. Tap on the ‘Share’ option and choose your phone from the list of available devices.

5. Follow the prompts on both devices to complete the transfer process.

6. The transferred images will be saved in the default photo gallery app on your mobile device.

  • On the Switch 2 Home menu, go to Album
  • Choose your desired photo or video and press A
  • Pick Send to Smartphone
  • Choose how many photos you want to transfer
  • When the QR pops up, use your phone to read it
  • Connect to the network Nintendo gives you
