I did a good job in the photo boot test, but I want to save the results on my computer, but there is no such content in this guide. How can I save the picture?

I don’t think you can write to a hard disk using Roblox. You could try using HttpService, but I’m not sure of any websites that could help you.

TL;DR You can only take a screenshot to save your results. There is currently no API to save renders (viewport, ViewportFrame, etc.).

I felt that the open-sourced photo booth (introduced in the Roblox Community Space demo) was a bit disappointing because to me it highlights the lack of developer control over screenshots, which in turn dampens player experience because we as developers cannot streamline the process for them.

I hope Roblox will consider allowing developers to prompt a more straightforward screenshot action (e.g. a CoreGui button on the screen) or directly allow developers to take screenshots at scripted moments in the game and let players decide after leaving whether or not to save them, like how Steam games prompt their players.

Overall, there should be no interruption to gameplay (opening the in-game menu, pressing wonky key combos) to take a screenshot or be prompted to take a screenshot.

Fortunately, it sounds like Roblox is open to improving functionality at some point in the future.

We plan on expanding the screenshot functionality in the future
