Pro and subscriptions
How Shotwell Pro changes exports, how billing works, and where to restore or manage purchases.
What Pro changes
- Free save, copy, and share exports include a Shotwell watermark.
- Shotwell Pro removes that watermark from those export actions.
- Export format and size controls stay available either way.
Where to open Pro
You can reach Shotwell Pro from:
Settings->Shotwell Pro- Upgrade prompts shown around export flows
If Pro is already active, Shotwell can show billing status and a manage-subscription path instead of an upgrade prompt.
Plans and offers
- Shotwell Pro can show yearly and monthly plans.
- If a free trial or introductory offer is available for your App Store account and current offering, Shotwell shows it automatically.
- Purchases are handled by the App Store.
Restore and manage purchases
| Action | Where to use it | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Restore purchases | Settings or the Pro screen | Re-checks the current App Store account for existing Pro access |
| Manage subscription | Settings or the Pro screen when available | Opens App Store subscription settings |
Legal and billing details
- The Pro screen links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
- Auto-renewing subscriptions keep renewing until canceled in the App Store.
- Cancel before the current billing period ends if you do not want renewal.
