Save, share, and export

Photomator automatically saves your edits as you jump from photo to photo and allows you to quickly share or export photos.

---

Save your edited photos

Once you're finished editing your image, tap or click Done to close it and save edits. You can also swipe left or right or use filmstrip to quickly select the next photo to edit – your edits will be saved automatically.

All the edits will remain editable and you'll be able to tweak them whenever you open the photo. You'll find the photos containing edits marked with badge in the photo library or filmstrip.

Nondestructive editing is the default in Photomator. If you want to disable preserving changes or stop saving edits to iCloud, you can do so in the Photomator settings.
