Tip: Sending screenshots where you want, quickly
Framing screenshots can feel like a painful extra step in the process, and it’s always been really important to us that Shareshot’s design reduces this friction. A big part of that is sending the final image to wherever you need it quickly.
There are three features in the app that you can use to fine-tune your workflow…
Save directly to Photos, Files or Clipboard without using the Share Sheet
The default share/export button in the iPhone and iPad app supports a long press to show a context menu. This will show you options to “Copy”, “Save to Photos” and “Save to Files”. These all happen instantly, with no need to go through the Share Sheet!
Ultra Tip: both Copy and Save to Photos options are instant as no other interaction is required!
Change the export button to your favourite action
You can even change the default share/export button in the app on all platforms… which is why I keep calling it the share/export button — it’s actually an action you can choose. The single tap will then perform your preferred action, one of: “Copy”, “Save to Files”, “Save to Photos” or “Share”. Go to Settings in the app and look for the “Default Export Action” option.
After you change this, the long press menu on iOS will still contain all the other options for the times you need to do something different.
Pro users do it in the toolbar
On iPad and Mac you can customise Shareshot’s toolbar to include multiple export buttons for the different export actions you use, so you can save directly to a file or Photos while still keeping your default export action there too.
On iPadOS 26, you do this by going to the Shareshot app’s main menu and choosing “Window > Customize Toolbar…” and on older iOS versions you long press on the navigation bar and use “Customize Layout…”.
On macOS you right-click on the navigation bar and thoudchoose “Customize Toolbar…”
Ultra Tip: Of course on iPad and Mac you can CMD-S at any point to save to files too, or CMD-SHIFT-E to save directly to Photos.
Still want more power?
If you still want to further streamline your workflow, maybe you always save outputs to a specific folder in Files or a specific album in Photos, look at using our powerful Shortcuts actions. We have users who frame literally hundreds of screenshots at a time using this technique! We have more coming on this — but this might help you get started.
If you haven’t already, please take a few seconds to rate or review Shareshot as it really helps new people discover us. I know for a fact that there are thousands of you who haven’t 🙏
