## Background, frame, size

1.  ![The gradient picker: rows of mesh and vivid gradients, with Ember selected.](https://www.bigshot.pics/_next/image?url=%2Fscreenshots%2Fexport-gradients.webp&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_6P79TaArh926BsfjDA4D7cbmSJSU)
    
    ### Background
    
    Pick one of 95 gradients, a colour, or your own image. Or use none, for a transparent PNG.
    
2.  ![An exported image: the Acme page in a browser frame with the address acme.com, on the Dusk gradient.](https://www.bigshot.pics/_next/image?url=%2Fscreenshots%2Fexport-browser.webp&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_6P79TaArh926BsfjDA4D7cbmSJSU)
    
    ### Frame
    
    Put it in a window or a browser frame, or leave it bare. Set the padding, corners, and shadow.
    
3.  ![An exported image at Instagram's 1080 by 1350: the Acme page centred on the Peach gradient.](https://www.bigshot.pics/_next/image?url=%2Fscreenshots%2Fexport-portrait.webp&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_6P79TaArh926BsfjDA4D7cbmSJSU)
    
    ### Size
    
    Choose a ratio, a size for X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Open Graph, or YouTube, or type your own width and height.
    

## Everything else

-   ### Open it
    
    Click Share in the editor. Or hold a thumbnail in the island or the toast and click Share. You can also right-click it for the same thing.
    
-   ### Balance
    
    Evens out the margins around what you captured, so it sits in the middle of the background.
    
-   ### Copy, save, or send
    
    Copy it, export a PNG, JPEG, or HEIC, send it with AirDrop, Messages, or Mail, or drag it into another app.
    
-   ### Presets
    
    Save a look as a preset to use on other captures, or apply one automatically. Each capture also remembers its own look.
    
-   ### Your capture stays as it was
    
    Export writes a new file. The capture itself stays plain, so search and your coding agent still read the screenshot and not the background.
    

## Frame your next screenshot.
