How it works

Each provider has it's own way of finding the screenshots, but ideally the screenshots folder for games are known to us users so we only need to traverse them and find image files except for installations that may vary (like Retroarch) or systems outside of the PC ecosystem (Playstation).

In some cases to have all the information for a particular provider we need to retrieve more data from the internet, for example the Steam game list to associate names to the IDs or in Nintendo Switch's case a community provided list to associate the internal ID with the Game's name.

For more details, you can check out the source code for all providers

Optionally a cover image for a game can be downloaded and placed under a .cover file in the game path. For this to work use the -download-cover flag. Check above for provider support for this feature.

Nintendo Switch notice

This project initially started as a Nintendo Switch helper to import and properly organize screenshots, but Nintendo improved this over the years and now we can use Android File Transfer to easily get the screenshots from a Nintendo Switch with the proper game name as folder name.
