Frequently Asked Questions
Why beautify screenshots?
Raw screenshots — pixel-edge borders against a white page — look amateurish in blog posts, social media, and presentations. Adding padding, rounded corners, drop shadows, and a colored background turns a screenshot into a polished hero image. The same content, dramatically more professional. This is the default look on Twitter/X tech threads and blog posts.
What background should I pick?
Gradients (purple→pink, blue→teal, orange→yellow) are visually striking and currently popular. Solid colors are timeless. Match your brand or content — soft pastel for friendly content, vibrant gradient for dramatic impact, neutral gray for documentation. Avoid pure white (the screenshot disappears) and pure black (looks heavy).
Will my UI screenshot still be readable?
Yes — the screenshot pixels are unchanged. The treatment is purely the frame. If the original screenshot was readable, the framed version is readable. Tip: if the screenshot has light backgrounds, pair with darker frame backgrounds for contrast (and vice versa).
Does it add device bezels?
Not in this simple tool — it produces a soft rounded-corner-with-shadow treatment, more modern than a literal device bezel. For literal device frames (iPhone bezel, MacBook frame around screenshots), use a tool like Mockuphone, Screely, or design tools with device-frame plugins.
What size should I export?
Match your destination. Blog hero: 1200–1600 wide. Twitter/X post: 1200×675 (16:9). LinkedIn post: 1200×627. Instagram: 1080×1080 square. The tool produces the framed output at the source screenshot's resolution plus padding; resize separately if needed.
Is the screenshot uploaded?
No. Framing happens entirely in your browser using HTML5 canvas. Internal product screenshots, beta features, or sensitive UIs stay on your device.
