File Naming Options

Format	Description

Custom Filename – Original Filename	Custom prefix + original file name e.g., MyShoot_IMG_1234.JPG
Capture Date – Sequence	Uses the capture date followed by a sequential number. e.g., 20240506_001, 20240506_002
Capture Date – Original Filename	Includes date + original name e.g., 20240506_IMG_1234.JPG
Original Filename (default)	Uses name generated directly by the camera e.g., IMG_1234.JPG

Exporting Captured Images

You can export your images after a tethered session:

• The edited version (consumes credits)
• The original image (free, does not use credits)

By default, Evoto uses the iPadOS system file picker. If cloud services like iCloud Drive or Google Drive are connected, you can export directly to them via the sidebar.
