How we compared them
- Does it produce every size the stores require — including Apple's 6.3-inch iPhone slot (see the 2026 size guide)?
- How long does it take to go from raw screenshots to an uploadable set?
- What does the free option actually let you export, and at what resolution or license?
- Localization: can it translate captions and export per language?
- Does it fit a release workflow (fastlane, re-running for the next version)?
1. MockFrame
MockFrame's App Store screenshot generator turns 3–10 raw screenshots into a framed, captioned set and exports every App Store and Google Play size in one zip — iPhone 6.3-inch, 6.9-inch and 6.5-inch, iPad 13-inch, Play phone screenshots and the feature graphic — with a README that maps each folder to its upload slot, or a fastlane deliver/supply layout. The AI generator drafts the captions and layout from a one-sentence description of your app.
- Strengths: one design to every required size; AI-written captions; translation into 39 store languages on Pro; the same plan covers device mockups, promo videos and screen recordings.
- Weaknesses: eight pack styles rather than hundreds of templates; Apple and Google only (no Microsoft or Amazon storefronts).
- Price: your first full pack exports free and can ship in one real release; Pro ($9.99 a month or $59.99 a year) adds the commercial license for further packs and other uses, plus unlimited packs.
2. AppLaunchpad
AppLaunchpad is a dedicated screenshot builder with a very large library: its Pro plan lists 1,000+ templates, 10K+ graphics and 700+ fonts, AI translation, and frames for the newest devices including iPhone 18 and iPhone Duo (checked October 2026).
- Strengths: the biggest template library here; quick to support new devices; brand asset management across projects.
- Weaknesses: the free plan limits exports and assets; prices are shown in local currency, so compare carefully.
- Compared in detail: MockFrame vs AppLaunchpad.
3. AppScreens
AppScreens is one of the longest-running screenshot generators, with a template editor that scales a design across device sizes, bulk localization, and support for storefronts beyond Apple and Google such as Microsoft and Amazon (as of July 2026).
- Strengths: mature localization; extra storefronts; suited to teams shipping often.
- Weaknesses: full-resolution output is on paid plans.
- Compared in detail: MockFrame vs AppScreens.
4. Previewed
Previewed is a browser mockup tool whose standout is real 3D: rotate and light a device, then animate it for a promo video. It also has panoramic App Store screenshot templates. Its free Lite plan exports unlimited 2D images at 720p under a CC attribution license; Plus is $9.99 one-time for 10 exports at 1080p+, and Pro is $19 a month billed $228 a year (checked October 2026).
- Strengths: true 3D snapshots and animations; a one-time option for occasional use.
- Weaknesses: free exports are 720p with attribution; generating every store size is less automated.
- Compared in detail: MockFrame vs Previewed.
5. fastlane frameit
frameit is part of fastlane, the open-source iOS and Android release tool. It puts device frames around screenshots you've already captured (for example with fastlane snapshot) and can add a title and background from a config file, so framing runs automatically in your release pipeline.
- Strengths: free; fully automated once configured; screenshots regenerate with every build.
- Weaknesses: setup takes developer time; styling is basic; frames depend on the device set frameit ships, which can lag new iPhones.
6. Figma templates
Designing screenshots in Figma from a community template gives you complete control and costs nothing if you already use Figma. The work is in the details: one frame per required size, exporting each one, and repeating it for every language and release.
- Strengths: unlimited design freedom; easy hand-off with the rest of your design work.
- Weaknesses: manual resizing and exporting for every slot; no built-in translation or store-ready zip.
- Tip: MockFrame's Figma plugin can turn frames from your file into a store listing set.
Which one should you use?
Indie developer shipping to both stores
Use a generator that exports every size from one design. MockFrame lets you export a full pack free to check the result before paying for Pro.
Team that lives in templates
AppLaunchpad's library is the largest here; AppScreens if you also publish to Microsoft or Amazon storefronts.
App launch video with 3D devices
Previewed's 3D animation is the strongest option.
Fully automated releases
fastlane frameit, or a generator with a fastlane export (MockFrame's pack zip drops into fastlane's folders).
