How to send fragments to CREA

The fastest desktop path. Installing gives you five weapons: right-click save / ⌗ page picker (sweeps right-click-blocked sites like Instagram, moves whole Pinterest boards) / ▭ region screenshot (for everything else) / grab the current video frame / ◉ hover-to-save (a Save button floats over any large image).

1. Click the button below to add the extension from the Chrome Web Store.
2. After installing, click the extension icon and set your API token once (generate in CREA → Settings → API tokens).
3. Right-click any image → "Save image to CREA"; or click the icon for the picker / screenshot / hover-save.

Hover-to-save has its own toggle in the popup. It asks for all-sites access once when enabled; turning it off hands the permission back.

iPhone won't let PWAs into the system share sheet (Apple limit), but a tiny Shortcut does the same thing — and one tap installs it. Closest you'll get to a native app feel: in Pinterest / Instagram / Photos, long-press image → Share → CREA.

1. Open the install page below on your iPhone in Safari (not in-app browsers like WeChat / Instagram).
2. Copy the auto-generated API token.
3. Tap "Install Shortcut" — iOS prompts "Add Shortcut". Paste your token on first run; it caches forever.

A Shortcut is iOS's built-in lightweight extension format (iOS 13+). No App Store, no extra storage. Remove anytime in Shortcuts.app.

Apple's iOS won't let other apps share directly into a PWA. The workaround: install CREA as a home-screen app, then use iOS's native copy/paste — same muscle memory as moving an image into Notes or Photos.

1. Open crea.website in Safari (not inside in-app browsers like WeChat / Instagram).
2. Tap the share button (⬆) at the bottom — scroll down — tap "Add to Home Screen".
3. From now on, open CREA from the home icon. It runs full-screen, no browser bars.
4. In any app (Pinterest, Photos, Instagram, Safari): long-press the image you want → "Copy".
5. Switch to CREA → /captures → tap the Paste button at the top. The image appears immediately.

Tip: the same paste works on Mac — Cmd+V anywhere on the captures page uploads the clipboard image.

Once Chrome installs CREA as a PWA, CREA shows up in the system share menu. See an image in Pinterest, Instagram, your photo library, or any browser — Share → CREA, and the fragment lands here.

1. On phone Chrome, open crea.website and tap 'Install app' / 'Add to Home Screen' from the address-bar menu.
2. In any app, long-press an image or tap its share button.
3. Pick CREA from the share sheet.

iOS Safari does not support this API (Apple system limitation). iPhone users — see method 02 above.

If you can write a tiny script — or use Raycast, Alfred, Automator, Tasker, etc. — POST directly to CREA's inbox endpoint.

1. Open API tokens settings
2. Generate a token there (label it 'Chrome extension' or whatever fits) and copy it.
3. Send a POST with the token in an Authorization header.

curl -X POST https://crea.website/api/inbox/capture \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "IMAGE",
    "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/page",
    "imageUrl": "https://example.com/photo.jpg",
    "title": "Optional title",
    "description": "Optional note"
  }'

type can be IMAGE / LINK / NOTE. Pass a direct image URL via imageUrl. To upload the image bytes (multipart), get in touch.

Build a shortcut in Apple's Shortcuts.app that calls CREA's API. It then appears in the iOS share sheet — practically the same as a browser extension.

1. In Shortcuts.app, create a new shortcut and enable 'Show in Share Sheet'.
2. Action: Get Contents of URL. URL: https://crea.website/api/inbox/capture, method POST, headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN.
3. Body: JSON containing the shared URL or image URL.

No need to re-save one by one. With the extension installed, "Pick images on this page" collects every visible image at once — works on your Pinterest boards, Huaban boards, any bookmarks page.

1. Open your Pinterest board (or any saved-images page) and scroll to the bottom so everything loads.
2. Click the extension icon → "Pick images on this page…" to list every image.
3. Hit "Save all" — the whole board lands in your fragments, with source badges and color extraction applied automatically.

Local folders: "+ Upload from device" on the fragments page accepts multi-select.
