How to Copy Screenshots From Oculus Quest 2 to a PC or Mac
If you need to transfer Oculus Quest 2 screenshots to your Windows PC or Mac, the method might not seem obvious, but it’s actually pretty easy. For a PC, all you need is the proper USB cable. On a Mac, you’ll also need to use a free utility. Here’s how to do it.
When you take a screenshot on the Oculus Quest or Quest 2, your VR headset saves them as 1024×1024 JPEG image files in a special folder on your Quest device. You can copy them over using a similar method to the way you might copy files from an Android smartphone.
Before you get started, make sure you have a USB-C cable that matches the type of USB port you have on your Mac or PC. If your computer has only USB-A ports, you’ll need a USB-C to USB-A data cable. If your computer only has USB-C ports, you’ll need a USB-C to USB-C data cable.
If you use a Mac, you’ll also need Google’s free Android File Transfer utility. Download and install it now. Windows PC owners do not need to use a utility.
Once you have the cable ready, power on your Oculus Quest 2 headset and log in to your PC or Mac. Using the USB-C port on the side of the Quest headset, connect the USB data cable between the Quest 2 and your computer, then put on the Quest 2 headset.
On the Quest screen, you’ll see a message titled “Allow Access to Data” that warns, “The connected device will be able to access files on this headset.” Using hand tracking or a Quest controller, select “Allow.”
Next, take off your headset and read the appropriate section below with transfer instructions for Windows PCs or Macs.
