How a screenshot gets its name
Rolltop reads the text in the picture on your Mac and picks the line it is about. It never makes up a word.
"Screenshot 2026-10-31 at 18.06.00.png" says when you pressed the keys, not what you captured. Rolltop suggests a name from the picture itself.
- The text is read on your Mac, by macOS's own text recognition, in your Mac's languages (shown in Settings › General › Read text in).
- One line is picked. On a Mac with Apple Intelligence, the on-device model chooses which line the picture is about. It can only choose a line that is there; it never writes one. Without it, Rolltop takes the largest line near the top.
- The date stays. The name becomes, for example, Invoice 4471 — 31 Oct 2026 at 18.06.png. Prefer the date first? Choose Date — subject in Name as.
The line it was read from is boxed on the preview. Other lines from the picture (a total, a date, a heading) appear as chips under Also in the picture; click one to use it instead, or type over the name.
What never becomes a name
- Anything that looks like a password, a key, a token, a long code or an email address. A name shows up in Spotlight, Recents and anything you share, so those lines are never offered.
- More than eight words, or the characters / : \ | < > " ? *.
A screenshot with no text keeps its date only, and is listed under No text.
