Frequently Asked Questions

Is ShotFrame really free?

Yes. Completely free, no premium tiers, no paywalls. Both screenshot and quote modes are 100% free forever.

Do my images or text get uploaded to your servers?

No. ShotFrame works 100% in your browser. Screenshots, quotes, and generated images never leave your computer. We don't store or track any files.

What aspect ratios are supported?

ShotFrame supports Auto (original), 1:1 (Instagram/Twitter), 4:5 (Instagram Portrait), 16:9 (YouTube/LinkedIn), and 9:16 (Instagram/TikTok Stories). The smart padding system ensures images look professional at any ratio.

Can I use custom colors instead of gradients?

Yes! Switch to "Solid Color" mode and enter any HEX color code (like #FF5733) or use the RGB inputs (0-255) to create your exact brand colors.

Can I paste screenshots directly from clipboard?

Yes! Press Ctrl+V (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+V (Mac) in Screenshot Mode. The image loads instantly without saving a file. This works great for quick sharing workflows.

What's the difference between Screenshot Mode and Quote/Text Mode?

Screenshot Mode: Upload or paste existing images and add backgrounds. Quote/Text Mode: Create images from scratch using text input with optional source attribution. Both support the same backgrounds, aspect ratios, and styling options.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes, but it's optimized for desktop. Mobile browsers work for basic functionality, but typography controls and fine-tuning are easier on larger screens. For best results, use ShotFrame on a computer.

Can I use ShotFrame images commercially?

Yes! You own the content you create. Use ShotFrame graphics for client work, marketing materials, social media posts, or any commercial purpose. The optional "ShotFrame · ToolsInsta.com" badge helps us grow but you can disable it anytime.
