📋 About This Mod

The images taken with the Snapmatic app on the in game phone are saved to your computer but are not viewable on a regular Windows machine. It is possible to open the image in an image editor like Photoshop and re-save it as a regular image file, but this utility will do this for you. Please note that the images appear to be saved at a 960x536 resolution.

How to use

  • []Navigate to your GTAV profile folder. Usually located at C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles\<PROFILEID OR SOMETHING> []Find the image you wish to convert. Images start with PGTA and then some random numbers and no file extension (ex. PGTA51182301695) []Drag the image(s) to the converter icon []The image will be saved to the same location as the original file but with a '.jpg' extension

Manually fixing the image To manually 'fix' the image you need to have a HEX editor and some knowledge of using it.

  • []Open the image in a HEX editor

    []Look for the bytes sequence FF D8.

    []Delete everythign before the FF byte. I found the FF byte is at offset 124, so delete everything up untill that offset. []Save the file and add a .jpg extension (since it is a jpg file)

    Notes Future game updates may break this utility. Currently tested with version 1. 0. 231. 0
