# Screenshot Renamer | Shortcuts Library

> Renames screenshot files with a meaningful title using GPT

## What this shortcut does

Screenshot filenames are cryptic, so I always have to preview every file to find the one I want 😩
I ended up creating an Apple Shortcut automation that renames my screenshots to something useful. It extracts text from the screenshot and uses GPT to generate a useful title.
Gives all screenshots a meaningful name
→ Extracts text from screenshots and uses GPT to generate a meaningful filename
→ Uses ChatGPT shortcut, which comes with the official ChatGPT app and works for free.
iPhone + Mac screenshots in one folder (or note!)
→ Copies all iPhone screenshots to a folder. When you add shortcut, it will ask to choose a folder.
→ If you use iCloud Drive and set Mac screenshot destination to the same folder, then both iPhone and Mac screenshots will be in one place
→ Even though shortcut only runs on iPhone (bc of ChatGPT app), it can process Mac screenshots that are on iCloud, and all your screenshots will be accessible from the same place on both iPhone and Mac
→ If you're more of an Apple Notes person, all your screenshots can live in one note, each with a nice title and description
Share sheet integration
→ Sharing to shortcut adds any image to the screenshot folder, and auto-renames it
Keeps your screenshots organized over time
→ Create an automation to run this shortcut daily, and it will do all the above without manual work. Set it and forget it.
→ Keeps track of screenshots, so you won't end up with duplicates (done by appending original filename).
