Screenshot Backgrounds

Add wallpapers, gradients, solid colors, custom images, or transparent backgrounds to your screenshots.

Wallpaper Backgrounds

Choose from a curated library of 100+ high-quality wallpapers organized by mood: Energy, Midnight, Radiant, Iridescent, Spring, and more. Wallpapers are rendered at full resolution to ensure crisp output at any export size. Click any wallpaper thumbnail in the backgrounds panel to apply it instantly.

Custom Image Background

Use any image from your Mac as a background. Import a custom image and it will be used as the wallpaper behind your screenshot — perfect for matching your brand, using a specific texture, or creating a unique look that isn't in the built-in library.

Gradient Backgrounds

Create custom gradient backgrounds with the built-in gradient editor. Pick two or more colors, adjust the angle (0–360°), and the preview updates in real time. Popular gradients for social media are available as one-click presets.

Solid Colors

Use any solid color as a background. Pick from preset colors or enter a custom hex value. Solid backgrounds provide a clean, distraction-free frame that makes your screenshot content stand out.

Transparent

Choose a transparent background for a clean PNG export with no background. The screenshot itself, along with any shadows and rounded corners, is preserved. Transparent backgrounds are ideal when you want to layer the screenshot over other content in a presentation or design tool.

Transparent backgrounds pair well with shadows — the shadow will be visible when placed on any surface in your design tool.
