How it starts
Screenshot. Share. Post.
You don't have to open Shotpop first. The screenshot preview is already in your hand — that's the fastest way in.
2 · Style it in the sheet
Pick a mesh and a size. Tap Share to post, or Save to Photos. Edit in Shotpop if you want more.
3 · Or start a poster
Headline, CTA, your brand. Add another slide by hand. Export a card you can actually post.
4 · Copy. Tap the widget. Share.
Copy in the iOS preview, delete the raw shot if you want, tap any Shotpop widget. The app pastes, styles, and opens Share.
The difference
Nothing to upload.
Nothing to trust.
A tool that runs in a browser has to receive your screenshot before it can do anything with it. Shotpop is a native iPhone app: the editing, the text recognition and the export all happen on your device.
- No image ever leaves the device. There is no upload path in the app. Backgrounds, frames, filters and export are rendered locally.
- Redaction runs on device. Text recognition uses Apple's Vision framework locally — the screenshot is never sent anywhere to be read.
- No account, no server. Projects live on your iPhone and travel in your device backup. There is nothing for us to host and nothing for us to read.
- Add-only Photos access. Saving an export needs add-only permission. Importing uses the system picker, which needs no library access at all.
- No account. No sign-up. No email address is collected. Open the app and start.
Being precise: the app does use third-party services for things that aren't your images — analytics and crash reporting, subscription management, ads on the free tier, and stock-photo search queries when you open that picker. All of it is itemised in the privacy policy.
Inside the app
Not a mockup. The real thing.
Three screens from the shipping build — the home you start on, the editor you live in, and the template library you pull from.
The backdrop
Meshes that actually move.
The mesh gradient isn't wallpaper — it's the identity. Every preset is a live 9-point mesh you can drop a screenshot onto, plus solid colours, twenty procedural patterns, and your own photos when you want a real backdrop.
Twelve of the full set, drawn from the app's own palette.
The frame
Seven frames, or none at all.
iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone SE, Pixel 9, iPad mini, MacBook Pro and a browser window. Pick the one your screenshot actually came from — or leave it bare and let the mesh do the work.

On the shot
Say what you mean, hide what you don't.
One tap to redact everything sensitive
Auto-redaction reads the screenshot with Apple's on-device text recognition and covers what shouldn't be public — email addresses, card numbers, API keys — before you post it. The recognition happens on your phone; the screenshot is never sent anywhere to be scanned.
- Privacy blur & pixelate for anything the scanner can't name.
- Spotlight dims and blurs everything outside the region you care about.
- Subject Lift isolates a subject from a photo using on-device Vision.
Illustration of auto-redaction: recognised emails, card numbers and keys covered in place.
Annotate it like a designer, not a marker pen
Text, shapes, arrows, freehand draw, numbered badges, emoji and badge stickers, and QR codes — all on a layer stack you can reorder, hide and undo.

A screenshot is a document. It deserves a layout.
Quote cards · six typographic treatments
The Quote card composer, with optional author and date.
The output
Built for the places you actually post.
Shotpop isn't one editor with one export button. It's a set of composers, each shaped around a job you already do by hand.
Posters you can actually post
Headline, subhead, CTA and your brand — on Editorial, Paper or a mesh. Add another slide by hand when you want a set. Open in the editor, pick the ground, Export.
We just shipped 2.0
Poster · headline, CTA, your brand
The Poster composer. One card, or a handful of slides.
App Store screenshots at the exact required sizes
Pick your screenshot, pick a device preset, and the composer renders at the precise pixel dimensions App Store Connect expects — so the upload doesn't bounce back.
Three of the seven presets. The composer covers iPhone 6.9″, 6.7″, 6.5″ and 5.5″, and iPad 13″, 12.9″ and 11″.
Code snippets with real syntax highlighting
Paste code instead of a screenshot and Shotpop composes it as a snippet card, highlighted and framed, on the same mesh backgrounds as everything else.
// on-device, always
let request = VNRecognizeTextRequest()
request.recognitionLevel = .accurate
try handler.perform([request])
let hits = request.results ?? []
redact(hits, matching: .sensitive)Carousels and long captures
Carousel export slices one wide composition into evenly cut slides for a multi-image post. Scroll Stitch joins a run of long-page captures back into a single continuous image first.
One composition, sliced into four slides.
Share from Photos

Widgets & Shortcuts
Tap a widget to open Shotpop; the app pastes a copied screenshot and styles it. Home Screen, Lock Screen, Control Center, plus App Shortcuts.
A gradient game, because why not
A small mesh-matching game hides in the app. It exists purely because gradients are fun to chase.

Questions
Straight answers.
Do you see my screenshots?
No. Shotpop has no upload path — editing, text recognition and export all run on your iPhone. Projects are stored on the device and are included in your iPhone backup, which is Apple's infrastructure. We don't host it and we can't read it.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Backgrounds, frames, filters, annotations, auto-redaction and export are all local, so the editor works with no connection at all.
The one thing that does need the internet is restoring a purchase. Everything else keeps working on a plane.
What does the free tier actually limit?
Free exports are unlimited and carry a small Shotpop mark. Pro removes the mark — or replaces it with your own logo. Some templates and some device frames are Pro-only. Ads are off by default; they can be turned on remotely on the free tier. Pro keeps ads off.
Everything else — the editor, the meshes, the annotation tools, redaction — is available on the free tier.
Is it a subscription, or can I buy it once?
Both. Pro is $4.99 per month or $24.99 per year if you prefer a subscription, and $49.99 as a one-time lifetime purchase if you don't. Subscriptions renew through your Apple Account until you cancel; the lifetime option never renews.
Do I need an account?
No. There's no sign-up, no login and no email address collected. Purchases are tied to your Apple Account, so restoring Pro on a new phone doesn't require one from us either.
Does it run on iPad?
Yes. Shotpop is a native iPhone and iPad app on iOS 18 or later. On iPad the editor opens as a side panel; Home, onboarding and the paywall sit in a centred column over the same mesh.
What permissions does it ask for?
Photos access is add-only, and only so exports can be saved to your library. Importing a screenshot uses the system photo picker, which runs outside the app and needs no library access at all.
Ads are off by default. If they are turned on, you'll see Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. Decline and ads stay non-personalised. Pro never shows ads.
How do I get a screenshot into Shotpop?
The fastest path: take a screenshot, tap Share, pick Shotpop. Style it in the share sheet and Share it out, or save to Photos. You can also pick or paste from Home, or start a Poster, Quote, Code, App Store or Stitch project.
I copied a screenshot — then what?
Tap a Shotpop widget — any size — or the Paste screenshot control in Control Center, or Paste on Home. The widget opens the app; Shotpop then pastes the copied screenshot, applies Quick Style, and opens the export screen so you can Share, Save, or Copy.
You can delete the raw shot in the iOS screenshot preview. Shotpop never deletes from your library — Photos access is add-only.
When does it launch?
Shotpop is on the App Store now, for iPhone and iPad on iOS 18 and later. Questions go to hey@shotpop.app.
