Create your first app screenshots

Upload your app captures, edit a coordinated screenshot set, and export it for the App Store or Google Play.

On this page

Start with captures from your own app. This guide covers creating an editable set, reviewing it, and exporting files for a store listing.

1. Create a set

From the dashboard, hit New set, name it, and pick your primary store. You get one screen to start; add more from the left panel. Everything autosaves — locally always, and to the cloud when you're signed in.

2. Upload your app screenshots

Select a screen, then use the inspector's device section to upload a raw screenshot (a plain capture from your phone or simulator — no framing needed). The device mockup wraps it automatically. A device with no screenshot renders as a blank black screen — upload one per device, or compose a text-only screen instead.

3. Say it with a caption

Double-click any caption to edit it in place. Wrap a phrase in **stars** to give it the accent emphasis. Keep headlines to about six words — the store thumbnail is small.

4. Let the AI do a pass

The AI button in the top bar runs on your set:

  • Auto-design — describe the app once; it lays out the full narrative across screens.
  • Captions — variants for every headline, in your chosen tone.
  • Audit — a 0–100 critique with concrete fixes it can apply for you.

5. Style the set, not the screen

Set styles applies a five-screen narrative template; the Brand section restyles every screen from your primary color. Tilt and pose presets live in the device section — spanning a device across two screens is one click.

6. Preview, then ship

Preview shows the set inside a mock App Store / Play listing — including the search crop that decides your tap-through. Then Export:

  • Download — PNG/JPEG files in a ZIP, watermark-free. Studio exports one size at a time; paid plans add batch sizes. Use the screenshot sizing guide to choose the right preset.
  • Publish to stores — connect App Store Connect or Play Console once in Settings, then push renders straight at your listing. See Publishing to stores.

The free Studio plan includes watermark-free exports. Batch exports, localization, and connected publishing depend on your plan; see pricing.
