Questions

How do I add a shadow to a screenshot?

Open Popshot, drop in your screenshot, then open the Effects panel and choose a shadow preset (Spread, Hug, or Adapts) and adjust opacity or light angle if you want. Export when it looks right.

Are my screenshots uploaded anywhere?

No. Popshot runs entirely in your browser. Your images are processed on your device and never uploaded to a server.

Do I need an account?

No. You can edit and export without signing in. An account is only needed to save looks or go Pro.
