Data Transfer Guide
SharkFoto doesn't offer direct data export beyond downloading edited images. Start by saving all original and processed files from your SharkFoto library to your computer or cloud storage. Organize them into logical folders. In Clipdrop, upload these images using the web interface's drag-and-drop functionality or mobile app import features. Since Clipdrop processes images individually rather than maintaining project files, you'll need to recreate any multi-step editing workflows manually. For batch processing, use Clipdrop's API if you have programming skills, or process files in groups through the web interface. No user settings or presets transfer automatically—you'll recreate these in Clipdrop's system.
