PS4: Save videos and screenshots to USB stick

Recorded videos and screenshots of your PS4 can also be saved to a USB memory. We'll show you exactly how you can export the data.

Save media from the PS4 to a USB stick

After you have saved one of your videos on a USB stick, you can then edit it and upload it to YouTube:

1. Insert a USB stick formatted as FAT or FAT32 into a USB slot on your PS4.
2. Start the "Recording gallery" program in the app overview.
3. Here you can see an overview of all games in which you have created videos and screenshots. You can either copy all of the media in a game or individual recorded files from a game.
4. After deciding on a video or screenshot, press the "Options" button on your PS4 controller.
5. Select "Copy to USB storage device" in the menu on the right.
6. Now mark the media you want to copy with a tick and confirm the selection at the bottom right with "Copy".
7. Your PS4 would like to automatically create folders on the USB stick and shows you the folder structure beforehand. Confirm with OK".
8. After the copying process is finished, you can remove the USB stick. You can now read out the copied videos and screenshots on your computer.
