How to make App Store screenshots without a designer

You don't need a designer or Photoshop to ship good App Store screenshots. With AppShotEditor an indie developer can go from raw simulator capture to submission-ready in under 20 minutes: drop the screenshot into a device frame, add a one-line headline, and export at the required size.

Step by step (free)

1. 1. Capture your app screens in the iOS Simulator or on-device.
2. 2. Frame — drop each capture into the iPhone 6.9" frame (free).
3. 3. Add a headline — one short benefit per screen ("Track every workout").
4. 4. Pick a background — a solid color or gradient on-brand with your icon.
5. 5. Export at 1320×2868 px (and 2064×2752 for iPad). Upload to App Store Connect.

Tips that make amateur screenshots look pro

• • One idea per screen; lead with the benefit, not the feature name.
• • Keep headlines short enough to read at thumbnail size.
• • Reuse one background + type style across all screens for consistency.
• • Put your strongest screen first — most users only see the first one or two.

What's free vs paid

• • Free: core editor, iPhone/Android phone frames, single-image export, no watermark, no signup.
• • Paid (from $29/yr): iPad & Mac frames, premium templates, batch (ZIP) export, more cloud storage.
