Inspiration Image
A macOS Raycast extension that places selected text or a clipboard screenshot over a background image. It composes everything locally; your text and screenshots are not sent to an image service.
Use the Extension
- Select text in any app and run Add Background to Selected Text, or copy a screenshot and run Add Background to Clipboard Screenshot.
- Choose one of four built-in memo backgrounds or select a custom image.
- Preview the composition in Raycast. The result is kept temporarily in the system temp directory.
- Choose whether to save it to
~/Pictures/Inspiration Images, import it to Apple Photos, or share it with the macOS share sheet.
Custom Background Requirements
- PNG, JPG/JPEG, or HEIC.
- At least 1024 × 1024 pixels and no larger than 20 MB.
- Square images are recommended. Other aspect ratios are center-cropped to fill the square canvas.
- Custom backgrounds are read locally and are not uploaded.
Privacy
- Selected text, clipboard screenshots, and custom backgrounds are processed locally. No image generation service or analytics is used.
- Preview files are temporary and are removed when replaced or when the command closes. Choosing Save to Pictures creates a persistent copy.
- Importing to Apple Photos may require allowing Raycast to control Photos in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation.
