How to Import a fastlane Screenshots Folder into AppShots
Drag an entire folder into AppShots — including fastlane's screenshots/[locale]/ structure — and it assigns each image's language and device frame automatically, so a big capture set is ready to design in seconds.
Steps
- Point your capture tool (or fastlane snapshot) at a screenshots folder.
- Drag the whole folder into AppShots.
- AppShots reads the screenshots/[locale]/ layout and assigns language and frame per image.
- Review the auto-assignments.
- Start designing — frames, captions, and panorama on top.
Why it works this way
If you already generate screenshots with fastlane snapshot, re-importing them one by one and re-tagging locales is pure busywork. AppShots understands the same folder convention, so it ingests a full multi-locale capture set and pre-sorts it by language and device — turning “hundreds of raw PNGs” into a ready-to-design project immediately.
Tips & edge cases
- Keep the fastlane folder structure intact for automatic assignment.
- Spot-check locale detection on unusual folder names.
- Round-trips cleanly — import captures, design, export back to a fastlane ZIP.
FAQ
Can I import a whole folder at once? Yes. Drag in a folder — including fastlane’s screenshots/[locale]/ layout — and AppShots sorts it for you.
Does it detect the language automatically? Yes. It assigns the language and frame automatically from the folder structure.
Do I still control the design after import? Yes. Import just gets your captures in place; the full layer editor is yours from there.
