Set Cypress’s screenshotsFolder configuration option to move the common screenshot destination. For a single screenshot that needs its own subfolder or filename, pass a relative path to cy.screenshot() instead. Cypress’s documented default folder is cypress/screenshots.

Set a custom folder for all Cypress screenshots

Configure screenshotsFolder in your Cypress configuration file. This changes the root used by both manual cy.screenshot() calls and failure screenshots taken during cypress run. The examples below use the CommonJS configuration form:

const { defineConfig } = require('cypress')

module.exports = defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    screenshotsFolder: 'artifacts/screenshots',
  },
})

Use the equivalent TypeScript or ES module form if that is how your project defines its Cypress configuration. See Cypress’s configuration reference for the supported configuration options.

Organize one screenshot in a nested path

When only an individual capture needs a different filename or subdirectory, pass a path to cy.screenshot():

cy.screenshot('actions/login/clicking-login')

Cypress interprets this name relative to the configured screenshots folder and the adjusted spec-file path, then creates the nested folders. A named screenshot follows the general pattern {screenshotsFolder}/{adjustedSpecPath}/{name}.png. The argument is not an unrestricted absolute destination. See the cy.screenshot() API for details.

Use screenshotsFolder when all captures need a new common root; use a command path when you only need to organize one capture beneath that root. Duplicate names are numbered by default. To overwrite a duplicate explicitly, pass the option:

Override the folder for a single CLI run

To change the destination for one invocation without editing the project configuration, use Cypress’s --config option:

cypress run --config screenshotsFolder=artifacts/screenshots

The CLI value takes precedence over the value in the configuration file. To select a different configuration file, use --config-file:

cypress run --config-file tests/cypress.config.js

Account for cleanup and failure screenshots

Before cypress run, Cypress clears the contents of configured asset folders by default, including the screenshots folder and its nested files. If the custom destination contains screenshots that must persist between runs, set trashAssetsBeforeRuns: false in Cypress configuration. This also affects the downloads and videos asset folders. The behavior is described in Cypress’s screenshots and videos guide.

Cypress automatically captures screenshots for test failures in cypress run, but not in cypress open. Manual calls to cy.screenshot() work in both modes.

Choose the right method

Method Scope When to use it
screenshotsFolder in configuration Changes the common root for screenshots. Use when the project’s captures should go to a different folder.
cy.screenshot() path Organizes one capture beneath the screenshot root and adjusted spec path. Use for a one-off nested directory or custom filename.
--config screenshotsFolder=... Changes the root for one CLI invocation. Use for a temporary run-level override.

Troubleshoot missing or misplaced screenshots

  • Screenshot appears under an unexpected directory: Check both screenshotsFolder and the path passed to cy.screenshot(). The command path is resolved relative to the screenshot folder and adjusted spec path, not as an arbitrary absolute destination.
  • Earlier screenshots disappear after a run: Cypress clears configured asset folders before cypress run by default. Set trashAssetsBeforeRuns: false if those files need to remain.
  • No automatic failure image in open mode: Automatic failure screenshots are a cypress run behavior. In cypress open, take a manual screenshot with cy.screenshot() if needed.
  • CLI run still uses the configured folder: Confirm the command includes --config screenshotsFolder=...; that CLI setting overrides the configuration-file value.

If the goal is to capture a website rather than save a screenshot produced by a Cypress test, ScreenshotNeo can return an image or PDF from one API request. Its API accepts a URL and supports PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF output. The example below saves a WebP screenshot; replace the URL with the page you want to capture.
