Frame Screenshots: Shareshot 4+

Love the app, such a great upgrade from the shortcut! The background variety is just awesome, reminds me of Denim is a very nice way.

I'm actually using this for my own App Store Previews. It'd be great to get custom sizes exported, that would save me a few steps 😅 And longer term support for screen recordings and animated backgrounds would be sick. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions!

I wanted a quick, easy tool to frame screenshot, nothing fancy. But Shareshot is all smoke and mirrors. The app claims to support a range of device frames, but in reality, it auto-detects your screenshot and refuses to let you pick a frame manually. If it doesn’t recognize your device (like my 2020 MacBook Air)? You’re out of luck. Want to “try another model”? Too bad, there’s no list, no picker, and no control. Even though the help suggests trying “older” model frames, but you can’t do it.

Even the downloadable "frame packs" (like Meta/Facebook devices) are locked behind a Pro paywall—and still won’t work unless the screenshot metadata matches their system exactly. At the end of the day, this app slaps a transparent PNG over your screenshot... something I could do in Preview for free.

Restrictive, over-engineered, and not worth your time.

Hi, Marc here the developer of the Shareshot. I can understand your disappointment, but I assure you there's no deception here! In fact when you run the app on your Mac it will be showing you a clear message that your 2020 MacBook Air is not supported on the main screen. There is normally a picker to choose alternative frames available to all users including free users but we pride ourselves on only fitting images to frames that match perfectly otherwise the results are ugly and require weird stretching or cropping. So the picker only appears if there are frames that will fit your screenshot exactly. That is the whole point of the app.

You have not contacted us by support that I know of or we could have explained this to you and perhaps avoided a 1-start rating which really affects our reputation as an indie developer trying to do our best for everyone (see other reviews).

Sadly your particular 5-year old Mac simply does not have an official frame available. I'm afraid I don't have the time and resources to create one specially for the very small number of users who want this.

A solution for you to continue using the app for free:

If you are happy to use the wrong size device frame for your image as you seem to be saying, you can just open your screenshot in Preview on your Mac and use the "Adjust Size..." option to change it to a resolution of a MacBook that the app supports and then you can save it and drop it into the app and it will frame it. For example, resizing to 2560 x 1664 will get you the MacBook Air 13" 2024 frame, but you will see some vertical stretching of your screenshot, which is unavoidable because you had to resize the image. I don't recommend it and it takes more time, but I'm just offering this because you implied you don't mind what frame is actually used.

If you have any more questions please get in touch via our support email.

When I first mentioned that I have a screenshotting app on my phone, a guy that I was with started to make fun of that and took a screenshot to show off the default. All I did was open Shareshot and he immediately changed his mind and agreed that this app was great!

Thank you for spreading the word!
