App Store Screenshot Generator basics
What is an App Store screenshot generator?
An App Store screenshot generator is a tool for building finished App Store screenshots: you combine captures, text, device mockups, backgrounds and layouts in one editor and export the sets in the required App Store sizes. App-Screenshot is one such generator – native to iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Can I create App Store screenshots without Figma?
Yes. With App-Screenshot you don't need Figma or Photoshop. You combine screenshots, text, mockups and effects directly in the app and export complete sets – no separate design tool and no templates to rebuild.
Can I localize App Store screenshots for multiple languages?
Yes. String Catalogs let you maintain text centrally, switch between all languages and assign images per language or country. Every maintained language is included on export.
Can I upload screenshots directly to App Store Connect?
Yes. Once the connection is set up, you transfer finished screenshot sets directly to App Store Connect and assign them to the right languages and devices. The connection is optional – exports can also be uploaded manually.
Can I create App Preview videos from screenshot designs?
Yes. You can create and export App Preview videos in the same design as your screenshots – with consistent themes, colors and fonts.
Is App-Screenshot a native alternative to browser-based screenshot generators?
Yes. App-Screenshot is a native app for iPhone, iPad and Mac – not a website. That means fast, direct editing, CloudKit sync across your devices and an App Store Connect connection, without the browser detour.
Does App-Screenshot work on iPhone, iPad and Mac?
Yes. App-Screenshot is built for iPhone, iPad and Mac. CloudKit syncs the same project across devices so you can continue seamlessly.

The download is free. Pro is available as a subscription for $14.99 per month or $99.99 per year – or as a one-time Lifetime purchase for $199.99. The App Store shows prices in your local currency.
