Is Canva good for App Store screenshots?
Canva is a great general-purpose design tool, but it isn't built for App Store submission: there are no preset App Store / Google Play screenshot sizes or device frames, so you configure dimensions by hand and export a flattened image. A purpose-built tool presets the required sizes (1320×2868, 2064×2752) and keeps your project editable.
What Canva does well
- • A huge template and asset library, a familiar editor, and team features.
- • Perfectly fine if you already live in Canva and just need a quick graphic.
Where it falls short for app screenshots
- • No store-size presets — you must know and enter 1320×2868 / 2064×2752 yourself.
- • No realistic device frames built for current iPhone/iPad/Android hardware.
- • Flattened exports — re-editing for the next app update means rebuilding.
When to use which

| Quick one-off social graphic | Canva |
| Submission-ready screenshots, correct sizes, device frames, re-editable | AppShotEditor |
AppShotEditor's core editor is free (phone frames, single export, no watermark, no signup); paid plans add iPad/Mac frames, premium templates, and batch export.
FAQ
Can you make App Store screenshots in Canva?
Yes, but you set the dimensions manually and there are no built-in device frames — a dedicated tool presets the required sizes.
Does Canva have App Store screenshot sizes built in?
No — there are no preset App Store or Google Play screenshot sizes; you create a custom canvas at the required pixels.
