The Challenge: Pain Points

Navigating the Screenshot Conundrum

Developing an app is just the beginning. Marketing and presenting it effectively on app stores is another challenge altogether, particularly when it comes to creating screenshots that meet the diverse and ever-changing requirements of different platforms. It's a pivotal aspect of App Store Optimization (ASO), it's your app's first impression that can drive up to 35% more conversions.

Here’s why this task was so daunting to us, yet so crucial for developers and businesses alike:

• Diverse Size Requirements. Each app store has its own set of specifications for screenshots. For instance, the dimensions required for iOS devices vary significantly from those for Android devices. From iPhones and iPads to Android phones and tablets, not to mention wearables and laptops, the range of device sizes necessitates a multitude of screenshot dimensions. Keeping track of these requirements can be a job in itself.
• Ever-Changing Requirements. App stores frequently update their guidelines, introducing new sizes, ratios, or even entirely new specifications for showcasing apps. This means what worked yesterday might not be acceptable today. Developers must stay vigilant, ready to adapt their screenshots to comply with the latest demands.
• Manual Design and Alignment Challenges. Creating screenshots manually involves several intricate steps to first decode the specific requirements and secure high-quality mockups for all required devices in a consistent style. Then, you need to align all text, images, and other elements perfectly across different canvas sizes with consistent branding and uniformity.
• We Are Not Designers. For us personally, we are not designers; we're engineers. Diving into the depths of design principles, aesthetics, and the intricacies of visual presentation is not where our expertise lies. Spending time trying to understand the nuances of effective screenshot creation was strenuous, and striving to make them look appealing was an even bigger struggle.
• First Impressions Matter. We all know people judge books by their cover, and your screenshots act as just that. A well-designed and strategically thought-out set of screenshots can significantly influence a user's first impression. In fact, optimizing your app's presentation can drive up to 35% more conversions. It's not just about meeting standards; it's about maximizing your app's marketability and appeal in a highly competitive landscape.
• Other Solutions. Figma, Photoshop and other graphic design tools offer maximum flexibility but at a cost of time, disk space and often require particular skillsets. Other half-baked tools exist, most missing critical features, designs or are just outdated and no-longer export App Store requirements as you need them today only adding frustration to the already complex process.

Our Solution: AppScreens

The Ultimate Screenshot Solution

In building AppScreens, we didn’t just create another tool - we redefined the approach to app screenshot creation.

Like you, we've been there. Lost in the labyrinth of app store requirements, juggling countless devices, sizes, and formats. We needed something radically different. So, we built it.

Responsive Design, All App Stores & Languages

AppScreens bridges every gap, filling in the vast expanse between Apple, Android and other App Stores, from the smallest smartphone to the largest tablet, and even extending to watches, laptops and the latest Vision Pro.

Localising your screenshots? We integrate all languages, into this single project. Allowing you to export everything, all at once, into a single zip file.

For a standard cross-platform app, with 5 device types, 10 screenshots and 10 languages, that's 500 images you would otherwise need to make manually, store and save somewhere. Madness avoided!

Smart-Export: The Magic Behind the Screen

AppScreen's meticulously sizes your screens for every target output size and every language, resizing the content and text to fit the export size and aspect ratio. The result? Radically reducing the amount of time needed to manually drag, drop, configure, resize each screenshot for each target on each platform.

You can lock device positions, grow to width, lock text size or even match all titles to the smallest size. Keeping everything uniform on export.

This process eats into your coding, thinking or leisure hours. Our smart technology brings more efficiency, more simplicity, and more time to focus on what we do best: building amazing apps.
