Frequently Asked Questions

AppScreenshotsKit is a free, browser-based tool for creating professional App Store and Google Play screenshot mockups. Upload your app screenshot, pick a device frame, add captions, and export with no account or software installation required.

Yes, completely free with no daily limits, no watermarks, and no account required. The tool is sustainably funded by small sponsor slots shown in the editor sidebar.

No. AppScreenshotsKit works entirely in your browser without sign-up. No registration, no account, and no personal data collected.

You can create screenshots for iOS (App Store), iPadOS, Android (Google Play), and macOS (Mac App Store). The Guide page has exact size specifications for each platform.

AppScreenshotsKit works in all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For the best performance and most accurate canvas rendering, Chrome or Edge are recommended.

No. All image processing happens entirely inside your browser. Your screenshots never leave your device and are never sent to any server. We cannot see them even if we wanted to.

We store nothing about your screenshots or designs. The only data we store is if you submit an ad sponsorship form. Browsing the tool generates standard web server access logs, which are automatically deleted after 30 days.

We use privacy-respecting, cookie-free analytics (no personal identifiers, no cross-site tracking). We only collect aggregate page view counts to understand which features are used most.

The core canvas, device frames, export, and all editing tools work after the initial page load. However, fonts are loaded from Google Fonts and require an internet connection. If you go offline, fonts may not render correctly. The icon picker also requires internet to search icons.

PNG is supported for all exports. PNG is lossless, has no transparency, and is accepted by all app stores.

There are 8 export presets: App Store 6.7" (1290 x 2796), App Store 6.5" (1242 x 2688), App Store 5.5" (1242 x 2208), App Store iPad (2048 x 2732), Google Play Phone (1080 x 1920), Google Play Tablet (1200 x 1600), Instagram Story (1080 x 1920), and Instagram Square (1080 x 1080). Use Batch Export to download all sizes as a ZIP in one click.

Custom dimension export is planned for a future release. For now, use the preset sizes or scale exports using the device frame. Each preset is calculated from the actual device resolution.

No. Exported PNGs use a solid background (your chosen color or gradient) with no transparency. This is required by App Store Connect and Google Play, which reject screenshots with alpha channels.

The current maximum is the App Store iPad preset at 2048 x 2732 px. All exports are at pixel-perfect device resolutions with no upscaling.

Batch Export lets you download all 8 export presets as a single ZIP file in one click. Open the Export panel and click 'Export All as ZIP'. Each slide in your project is exported at every preset size and bundled together.

Click 'Open Editor', drag-drop your app screenshot into the Upload zone, pick a device frame, choose a background, add a caption, then hit Export. The whole flow takes under 2 minutes.

The editor includes 30 device frames: iPhones (16 Pro Max, 15 Pro, 14 Pro, 13, SE), Samsung Galaxy (S24, S23), Google Pixel (9, 8 Pro, 7), iPads (Pro 13 inch, Pro 11 inch, Mini 7, Air 5), and MacBook Air 15 inch. Each frame comes in multiple color options and is built with an accurate SVG so screen content is precisely positioned.

You can choose from six background types: solid color (with a full color picker), 15 gradient presets, 15 geometric patterns (dots, grid, stripes, hexagons, etc.), a custom image upload, and an emoji or icon tile pattern where you can pick any icon, set its size, spacing, opacity, and rotation.

Yes. In the Background panel, switch to the Image tab and upload any photo or graphic. It will be scaled to fill the canvas.

Open the Text panel and click 'Add Text'. A text layer appears on the canvas. You can change the font, size, weight, color, alignment, rotation, and toggle a shadow. Text can be repositioned by dragging it directly on the canvas.

The editor includes 52 Google Fonts across four categories: Sans-serif (e.g. Inter, Poppins, Montserrat), Serif (e.g. Playfair Display, Lora), Display (e.g. Bebas Neue, Pacifico), and Monospace (e.g. Fira Code, JetBrains Mono). Fonts are loaded on demand when selected.

Yes. Open the Elements panel to add geometric shapes (rectangle, circle, triangle, star, arrow), pre-made text badges (BETA, SALE, PREMIUM, NEW, and more), emoji stickers, and icons from a library of over 200,000 icons via the icon picker.

Yes. Click 'Add Slide' in the Uploads panel to add multiple screenshot slides (up to 20). Each slide can have its own screenshot, background, and text layers. All slides are displayed side by side in the canvas and you can click any slide to make it active for editing.

Split Frame lets you spread a single device frame across two adjacent slides. The left slide shows the left half of the device and the right slide shows the right half. When placed side by side in the App Store, the device looks seamless across both images. You can drag the frame to adjust the split position and scroll it vertically.

The editor stores up to 30 history states. Press Cmd+Z (Mac) or Ctrl+Z (Windows) to undo, and Cmd+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y to redo. All canvas actions are tracked.

This usually happens if the file is not a supported format. Make sure you are uploading PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Very large files (over 20 MB) may also cause issues. Try exporting a smaller version first.

Make sure the editor has fully loaded (no spinner) and that you have a device frame selected. If the issue persists, try refreshing the page.

This can happen if the source screenshot is low resolution. For best results use the original screenshot at the device's native resolution (e.g. 1290 x 2796 for iPhone 15 Pro Max).

Make sure the frame has fully loaded before exporting. If the frame is missing, try reloading the page and re-selecting the device frame from the picker.

Common rejection reasons: (1) wrong dimensions: double-check the exact pixel size for your device category in our Guide; (2) transparent background: our exports do not have alpha, but check for transparency if you edited the file after export; (3) Apple logo or Apple-branded content visible in the screenshot.

The icon search requires an internet connection. If you are offline or the icon API is temporarily unavailable, search results will not load. The 16 default icons are always shown as a fallback.

Make sure both slides are set to 'Split Left' and 'Split Right' respectively as a pair. Drag the frame horizontally to adjust the split position, or drag vertically to align both halves. Both slides always share the same frame position so they stay in sync.

Export your PNG from the editor, then in App Store Connect open your app listing, select the iOS version, scroll to Screenshots, and drag the file into the correct device size slot. See the full step-by-step in our Guide.

Yes. Fastlane's deliver tool accepts PNG files. Place your exported screenshots in the fastlane/screenshots/locale/device/ directory structure. AppScreenshotsKit exports at the resolutions Fastlane deliver expects.

Yes. Export PNGs are standard files compatible with any ASO tool that accepts screenshot uploads for A/B testing.
