Best tools for designing screenshots?

Full contextOriginal content · Reddit

What tools do you guys use for designing appstore screenshots? Specially for Mac appstore? I’ve been designing primarily in Figma and I was wondering if there are any better tools that help, maybe with some templates to start with. Any tips would be appreciated

I think I'm being an idiot but when I google it I only find something that "Generates FACELESS Content With AI-Powered Templates". Do you have a link?

I think its called FrameLab Studio: Screenshots. It’s in appstore. Yeah in google search, there are so many frame labs that are kinda similar

AppMockUp has solid Mac App Store templates and is way faster than building from scratch in Figma. if you want something more polished with 3D device angles, Rotato is worth it. I use Figma for the actual layout but pull device frames from AppMockUp to save time.

I stumbled on this last week and have been updating it for my own use (adding Google Fonts, custom themes, support for macOS screenshots, etc etc): https://github.com/ParthJadhav/app-store-screenshots Works a treat out of the box, though.

Shots.so has been created for iOS App screenshots but I imagine it would work great for Mac as well.

Rotato for 3D-rotated device shots. Pika or AppMockUp for straight-on App Store frames with backgrounds and copy. Both have Mac templates.

figma is best unless need something super quick with templates

shipped a MAS app last month and figma was honestly still the best for it.

Figma is the obvious choice but you can also use Google stitch

I actually use Keynote. Super intuitive, and easy to export to crispy PNG.

I design the HTML + mockup + text myself, then turn it into an MCP. This way, my AI Agent can easily automate screenshot packaging and handle the originally painful task of multilingual support.

Hello! I am making a native Mac app for simplifying the process of making app store screenshots called Screenshot Bro, maybe it could save you some time when it comes to that https://apps.apple.com/us/app/screenshot-bro/id6760177675?mt=12 I am here for support and feedback.

I´m currently in development for a new software and was looking for the most efficient. Didn't find the all-in-one solution but in the end two of them will stay on my mac: Cleanshot X and Capty. Both look similar (Captys UI is probably a 1:1 clone of Cleanshot) but the Video Editor in Capty is really great.
