Frame screenshots

Use Quick Frame

Quick Frame finds your newest screenshot, frames it in the look you’ve chosen, and saves the result, all in one step.

#Use Quick Frame on iPhone or iPad

  1. In Frames, tap the Quick Frame button at the top of your library.

    You can also add Quick Frame to Control Center, so you can run it without opening Frames first. See Use Control Center and the Lock Screen.

  2. The first time, allow Frames to access your photos. Frames reads only your newest screenshot.

Frames saves the framed screenshot to your photo library, and keeps it as a project you can change later.

If you don’t allow photo access, Quick Frame shows your screenshots in the photo picker instead, so you can choose one yourself.

#Use Quick Frame on Mac

Do any of the following:

  • Click the Quick Frame button in the toolbar.
  • Choose File > Quick Frame, or press Command-N.
  • Control-click the Frames icon in the Dock, then choose Quick Frame.

The first time, Frames asks where to find your screenshots if you haven’t set this up in the welcome.

#Choose how Quick Frame works

Open Settings in Frames, then go to Quick Frame.

  • Style: The look Quick Frame applies. Choose Last Used to frame the way you last did in the editor, or choose one of your presets. See Save a look as a preset.
  • Save Without a Project: Turn on to only save the framed screenshot, without also keeping it as a project in your library.

On Mac, there are a few more options:

  • Screenshot Source: Choose Folder to frame screenshots you take on this Mac, or Photos to frame screenshots synced from your other devices.
  • Quick Frame Folder: The folder to look in, usually your Desktop. Click Choose to pick a different one.
  • Ask Where to Save: Turn on to choose a location each time. Turn off to always save to the destination below it.
  • Save To: Your photo library, or a folder you choose.

Note: Quick Frame ignores images Frames has made, so running it twice frames your newest screenshot, not the image it just saved.
