Your app is great — and it’s still on nobody’s phone.
Only after install does an app come alive. Screenshots are that door.
Screenshots are
the door to your app.
No size hunting. No sign-up. Design you can repeat.
Built for store screenshots
Designer-made presets
Reproducibility over taste. One click recreates recommended layouts. Design sense — without Figma.
Panorama shots, too — one click.
Popular with entertainment, media, and finance apps — and yes, we support it. One button builds the shot.
Call out part of the UI
Zoom a UI region with a callout. Guide the eye. Tighten the shot.
Put ratings on the shot
Already have reviews? Put them on screenshot one.
Pro-style crop
Sometimes you want the top half — or the bottom. Crop what doesn’t matter.
Bold layouts
Scale the mock huge. Add top/bottom shadow for type. Dynamic layouts, done.
No hunting store sizes
Pick the store and export. No researching aspect ratios. No remaking for the wrong size.
Small features for the details
Highlight and bold text
Mark what matters with highlight or underline.
Landscape mocks
Build landscape store shots for landscape apps.
Background presets
About 60 designer-picked colors — plus custom.
Free text and highlight colors
Type isn’t always black. Set the colors you need.
iPhone, Pixel, generic
Latest iPhone, Google Pixel, and a generic mock.
Screenshots aren’t a side dish. They’re the door.
Hunting store screenshot size rules is miserable for builders.
Store visitors are your hottest leads.
People who visit your app already care. Obsessing over store screenshots beats most ads on cost.
Screenshots:
the fight ends by frame two.
The 2-13-2 rule
2 shots in, most people stop swiping.
What everyone must see fits in two frames. Shot three and up is for people who already care.
13 — keep the why short.
Long copy dies. A punchline beats a paragraph. (Think a few sharp words — not a caption essay.)
2nd shot
is the proof.
Show real UI big. Make them feel “yeah, I could do this.”
The lazy day vs the day you meant it.
Screenshot quality matters as much as the app itself. Don’t phone it in.
Lazy day
Meant it

FAQ
What is MockShot Studio?
A store-screenshot tool for indie builders. Pick a preset and export PNGs at submission size.
Why care so much about screenshots?
Store visitors already care. Most people only see two shots — lead with a short punchline for why you exist, prove it with real UI on shot two. Screenshot quality matters as much as the app.
Web vs Mac?
Both edit. Web uses export credits ($1 each, 10 for $10). Mac is one-time with unlimited exports. No subscriptions.
Do you upload my images?
Editing and PNG rendering stay on your computer. We only use your email to keep export credit balances (no sign-up).
What’s the test-app cashback?
Join the TestFlight Mac test app, post about the experience on social, buy the product version once after launch, and apply via form with your post URL — we cash back the purchase. Store reviews aren’t available during TestFlight, so SNS is the requirement. Fake posts don’t count.
Pricing?
Web is $1 per export (10-pack $10). Mac is $59 one-time. No monthly or yearly plans.
What’s the test app (TestFlight)?
Apple’s beta distribution. Use the invite link to install Mac before public release.
Direct upload to the stores?
Not supported. Export store-resolution PNGs to your device.
Make the door properly.
