Docs / Capture

Screenshots

Save just what iOS draws, or the device on a background, from one device or the whole Board.

One device

Open the device on its own and click Screenshot, or press ⇧⌘S. The arrow beside Screenshot holds its settings:

  • Screen only saves what iOS draws, upright.
  • With the device saves the device on its background, at the size picked in Capture settings.
  • Caption, above or below the device.
  • Copy to clipboard, for each screenshot.

A notice at the bottom left says where it was saved. Drag the notice to drop the file into another app.

Sets, with one device

The same arrow takes a set in one go: the device in every pose, the iPhone Duo’s cover and inner screens, or both into one folder.

The whole Board

Snapshot all waits for every screen to stop redrawing, then saves each screen at one pixel per point, and one picture of the devices side by side at the same physical scale, each labelled. With With the device picked, that picture shows the 3D devices on your background, with the caption and shadow.

Capture settings

Capture settings, beside Screenshot, holds what every capture shares.

Setting What it does
Background The window’s grey, a colour, a gradient, an image, or transparent (for screenshots)
