FROM APP SCREENS TO A STORE LISTING
Prepare your App Store and Google Play screenshots.
A screenshot set should show what someone can do in your app. Start with real screens, give each image one job and check the exported files at the size people will see them.
1. Capture the screens that explain the task
Choose a short sequence: the main action, a useful result and any screen that explains an important choice. A budget app might show an expense entry, the monthly overview and a category breakdown. The example is a planning exercise, not a claim about an app built with AppFrame.
Use a clean test account and check every screen for personal information. Hide account numbers, private messages and customer details before importing images. Keep the original captures somewhere you can find them again.
2. Choose the store and device before styling
Check the screenshot slot in your actual store console, then select the matching export preset. Apple publishes different specifications for its supported devices. Google Play publishes separate requirements and recommendations for screenshots and other preview assets. A feature graphic is a different asset from a phone screenshot.
Use the current official references: Apple screenshot specifications and Google Play preview asset requirements. An editor preset is a convenient starting size; it does not guarantee store acceptance.
3. Use one template across the set
Open the screenshot templates and pick a layout that gives your app enough space. In the editor, import PNG, JPEG or WebP captures and adjust the background, headline and generic device frame. Keep the frame, type scale and margins consistent unless a particular image needs a different treatment.
A long headline can make an otherwise clear screen hard to read. Describe the action shown: “Plan this week’s meals” says more than “Your life, transformed.” Avoid describing a feature your screenshot does not demonstrate.
4. Check the smallest useful view
Preview the whole set, then look closely at each image. Are labels cut off? Is a caption covering the part of the app it explains? Can the first image stand on its own? Check contrast and spelling, and leave space around the subject instead of filling every corner.
When making another language version, allow for longer text. Review translated wording with someone who understands the language and the product. AppFrame does not automatically translate or verify captions.
5. Inspect the PNGs before uploading
Export an individual PNG or the ZIP set. Open the downloaded files outside the editor and check dimensions, sharpness, ordering and text. A successful download means you have a file; the store console still needs the correct format and truthful content for its selected slot.
- The right app, platform and device preset.
- No private data, stale screens or unsupported claims.
- Readable headlines and an unobstructed app interface.
- A consistent sequence with no accidental duplicates.
- Original images and saved project settings retained for the next update.
What happens to imported screenshots?
AppFrame processes screenshot and logo images locally in the browser. The current free beta has no signup and offers PNG and ZIP exports. Keep your own originals and save settings before leaving; do not treat the editor as cloud storage. Read the privacy page for the full description.
