A React Native library that captures a view and saves it as an image, supporting both old and new architectures (Fabric + TurboModules). It provides a declarative ViewShot component and an imperative captureRef API with options for format, quality, and file naming.

Use cases

• take a screenshot of a react native view
• save a react native component as an image
• capture scrollview content to a png or jpg
• share a snapshot of the app screen
• rasterize a view for image export
• capture a view automatically on mount

When to choose

• you need to export or share a snapshot of a React Native view
• you want a maintained library supporting React Native 0.76+ and the new architecture
• you use Expo and need autolinking-compatible view capture

When to avoid

• you need full-screen screenshots including native UI outside your views
• you are not building with React Native
• you need video or animated capture rather than static images
