Files App and Finder

Use View More → Save to Files app to export artworks to any location accessible by the Files app, such as iCloud Drive or On My iPhone.

If you save your artwork to iCloud Drive, you can access it using Finder or the Files app on your other devices, as soon as it syncs with the service.

Share a single or multiple images as described above and select iTunes from your Share Destinations. The images will now appear in your Pocket directory on your Mac ready to be dragged, dropped and shared like any other file in macOS.
