Stuck on something? Start here.

It turns a screenshot into a designed image. You drop a shot onto a background — an animated mesh gradient, a solid colour, a procedural pattern or a photo — wrap it in a device frame, mark it up, hide anything private, and export.

It also handles a few adjacent jobs: code snippets with syntax highlighting, quote cards, App Store screenshot sets at exact per-device sizes, and stitching long scrolling captures together.

An iPhone running iOS 18 or later. That's the whole requirement — no account, no sign-up, no login.

No, and that's deliberate rather than an oversight. Every layout, gesture and haptic in Shotpop was tuned for a phone held in one hand. Shipping a stretched iPad build would have been worse than shipping none, so iPhone is the only supported device.

Yes. Editing, text recognition, Subject Lift and export all run on your device, so the whole editor works in airplane mode.

The only part that needs a connection is restoring a purchase.

Three ways. Pick one from inside the app with the system photo picker; send one straight from any app's share sheet using the Shotpop share extension; or start from a home-screen or Lock Screen widget. There are App Shortcuts too, so Siri and the Shortcuts app can kick off a project.

No. There is no upload path in the app. Your images are never sent to a Shotpop server, because there is no Shotpop server that receives images. Editing, text recognition and export all happen on your device.

Because it doesn't need it. Importing uses Apple's system photo picker, which runs outside the app and hands over only the images you tap — Shotpop never gets read access to your library.

The one Photos permission it may ask for is add-only, so it can save a finished export back to your camera roll.

On your device, in the app's own storage. There is no Shotpop account and no Shotpop server — there is nothing for the developer to read.

They do not sync between devices in this version. They are included in your iPhone backup, so they restore onto a new phone along with everything else. Deleting the app deletes them, so export anything you want to keep first.

Never your images. What does go out:

• Your advertising identifier (IDFA) — only if you allow tracking in the App Tracking Transparency prompt — to Google AdMob and Meta for advertising and attribution.
• An anonymous RevenueCat user id and your purchase history, to RevenueCat, which manages subscriptions.
• Product-interaction analytics to Firebase Analytics, and crash and performance diagnostics to Firebase Crashlytics.
• Stock photo search queries to Unsplash and Pexels — only if stock photo search is enabled in your build, and only when you open the picker and type something. It is not enabled in the current release.

The full detail is in the Privacy Policy.

No. There is no account, no sign-up and no login, and no email address is collected. If you email support, that's the only time the developer sees an address from you — and it's yours, sent by you.

You can build and export real work on the free tier. Exports carry a small Shotpop watermark, there's a cap on how many you can export per day, and the app shows ads — banner, native and interstitial, plus an optional rewarded video you can choose to watch.

Upgrade to Pro. Pro exports have no watermark, no daily export cap, and ads are switched off entirely.

Your choice. $4.99 / month or $24.99 / year as a subscription, or $49.99 once for lifetime access, which is a single purchase with nothing to renew or cancel.

Prices shown are in US dollars; the App Store converts to your local currency at Apple's rates.

No trial is offered. The free tier is there instead — use it for as long as you like, and buy Pro only if the app has earned it.

Open the Pro screen and tap Restore. Make sure the iPhone is signed in to the same Apple Account that made the original purchase — restores are tied to that account, not to Shotpop.

Through Apple, in a few taps:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
2. Tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions.
3. Choose Shotpop, then Cancel Subscription.

Apple bills and manages every subscription, so the developer cannot cancel one for you even with your permission — the controls simply aren't exposed to app makers. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've already paid for.

Refunds are handled by Apple, not by Shotpop. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com with the Apple Account you purchased on.

If something in the app is broken and that's why you're asking, please tell support too — a refund request doesn't reach the developer, so the bug would otherwise go unfixed.

Subject Lift isolates a photographic subject — a person, a pet, a product, something with a real edge against a background. It runs on device, using Apple's Vision framework.

Point it at a UI screenshot and it will find nothing, because there is no subject there to find. That's expected behaviour, not a failure.

Auto-redaction reads the text in your shot on device and covers what it recognises as email addresses, card numbers and keys. It is a fast first pass, not a guarantee — always look over the result before you publish.

Anything it misses can be covered by hand with the blur, pixelate or shape tools.

Check three things: both phones are signed in to the same Apple Account, iCloud Drive is turned on in Settings, and the new phone has a working connection. Give it a minute after first launch — a large library takes a little time to arrive.

Saving needs the add-only Photos permission. Open Settings → Shotpop → Photos and allow adding photos, then try the export again. You can always share the export straight to another app instead.

iOS hides extensions it hasn't seen used. Open the share sheet, scroll the row of app icons to the end, tap More, and switch Shotpop on — you can drag it up the list while you're there.

Please report it — crashes get fixed far faster with one good description than with ten vague ones. There's a template below that covers everything needed.
