Screenshots: Showcase your app
In the fiercely competitive world of mobile app development, making a strong first impression is essential. One powerful tool at your disposal for achieving this is the creation of eye-catching screenshots for your iOS apps. App Store visitors typically scan through these images before deciding to download an app, making it crucial to present your app's best features effectively. To meet Apple's requirements, developers must provide 3 to 10 screenshots for each device type, including:
5.5" iPhone
6.5" iPhone
12.9" (6th Generation) iPad
12.9" (2nd Generation) iPad
Default Settings
Our automatic screenshot maker simplifies the process of generating stunning screenshots. It comes equipped with default settings that allow you to effortlessly create polished visuals. These default settings include:
Theme: Choose between light or dark themes to match your app's aesthetics.
Background Color: Specify the background color using a hex code to maintain brand consistency.
Text Color: Define the text color with a hex code for maximum readability.
Customize each screenshot
While the default settings are designed to streamline the process, our screenshot generator offers extensive customization options to tailor each screenshot to your exact requirements. Here's what you can do:
Select Screens: Choose up to 10 screens to generate screenshots for. This selection can include your app's Home Screen as a standard choice.
Variety of Screens: You can generate screenshots for various types of screens from your apps, these include: sections of a content type, an individual section, an a list, an item of content, and players such as the audio player. All of these screens allow you to showcase different aspects of your app.
Custom Text: Add custom text (up to 50 characters) to each screenshot to highlight specific features or benefits.
Theme Variations: Each generated screenshot can have a different theme, enabling you to demonstrate both light and dark mode experiences.
Background Color: Customize the background color for individual screenshots using hex codes to accentuate different app sections or moods.
Text Color: Adjust text color on a per-screenshot basis to ensure optimal visibility and contrast.
With these customization options, you can create a set of screenshots that effectively communicate your app's unique features and user experience, all while maintaining a consistent brand identity.
Screenshots should conform with Apple's Metadata review guidelines. Do not include references to prices (including the word "free") as this may result in a rejection and delays to the release of your app.

The first 3 screenshots are really important as these are the first a user will see in the search results. We recommend showing the home screen first as it showcases the app, but it's completely up to you!

Custom screenshots should conform with Apple's Metadata review guidelines. Please consider the following to prevent rejections and delays to the release of your app:
Do not include screenshots that are not representative of the app functionality.
Do not include references to prices (including the word "free").
Do not compare your app directly to a competitor.
Images of devices in each screenshot should reflect the device the screenshot is for. For example, phones screenshots should not be stretched out to imitate an iPad.
Screenshots that describe the app or work across multiple screens are acceptable and can be an eye-catching way to promote your app, but you should aim to include images of the app in at least every other screenshot.
