Frequently asked questions
What is Shadow Snap?
Shadow Snap is a free cinematic subtitle image maker that combines one still image with multiple dialogue lines. No account or installation is required.
How do I create a movie dialogue image?
Import one image, enter dialogue on separate lines, adjust the font and slice height, then export. The first frame stays intact and subsequent lines use slices from the lower region.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Image processing and export run in your local browser memory. The site loads fonts and uses website analytics; neither requires uploading your images.
How do I save an image on mobile?
After exporting, save the image through the system share sheet. Browsers without sharing support offer a long-press save panel. If saving inside WeChat fails, open the page in your system browser.
Which languages and fonts are supported?
The interface is available in Chinese and English. Font options include Chinese, Latin, Thai, Vietnamese and Arabic scripts. Rendering depends on your browser and font availability.
