How it works
How ShotLab works
ShotLab takes a raw iPhone screenshot from your photo library to a polished, share-ready visual in four quick steps.
- 1
Import a screenshot
Bring in any screenshot or image from your photo library, paste one from the clipboard, or send it straight to ShotLab from the iOS share sheet. Recent projects stay available so you can keep editing.
- 2
Pick a style, background, and frame
Choose a ready-made look or build your own: wrap the screenshot in a phone, browser, or one of 11+ other frames, then set a solid color, gradient, or pattern background with shadows and rounded corners.
- 3
Annotate and protect
Point at what matters with arrows, boxes, highlights, step numbers, and zoom callouts. Hide emails, names, and account numbers with blur, mosaic, or redaction, and add stickers for extra context.
- 4
Export share-ready
Export at the right size for the destination — Story 9:16, Square 1:1, Portrait 4:5, or Wide 16:9 — and save or share the finished visual for social posts, documentation, or app previews.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is ShotLab free?
Yes. ShotLab is free to download and use, and free exports may include a small ShotLab watermark. ShotLab Premium, an optional auto-renewable subscription, removes the watermark for clean, client-ready exports.
How do I blur sensitive information in a screenshot?
Open the screenshot in ShotLab and use the privacy tools: blur to soften an area, mosaic to pixelate it, or redaction to cover it completely. Redaction is the safest choice for account numbers, emails, and other data that must stay unreadable.
Can I add an iPhone or browser frame to a screenshot?
Yes. ShotLab includes phone and browser frames plus photo, room, cinema, TV, floating, glass, stacked, outline, and Instagram-style frames, so a raw screenshot reads like a finished device mockup.
Can I use my own screenshots and photos?
Yes. ShotLab is built around importing your own images: pull screenshots and photos from your library, paste from the clipboard, or send an image to ShotLab from the iOS share sheet, then continue editing recent projects anytime.
Are my imported images uploaded?
No. Your screenshots stay on your device — importing, framing, annotating, and exporting all happen locally, and there is no account to create. ShotLab does use analytics and subscription services that handle app usage and billing data, but your images are never sent to them. See the privacy policy for full details.
Can I export screenshots for social media?
Yes. ShotLab has export presets sized for social platforms — Story 9:16, Square 1:1, Portrait 4:5, and Wide 16:9 — plus an auto-fit option, so a tall screenshot can become a square Instagram post or a wide launch graphic without cropping.
How is ShotLab different from the built-in iOS Markup?
Markup covers basic drawing and text. ShotLab adds device and browser frames, styled backgrounds, step numbers, zoom callouts, before-and-after comparisons, true redaction and mosaic tools, stickers, and platform-sized export presets — the pieces that make a screenshot look designed rather than just annotated.
