Design guide

Choose a screenshot layout that matches the job.

The best marketing screenshot layout depends on what the user needs to believe: that the app is useful, easy, trustworthy, beautiful, or different.

Feature-first layout

Use one large device frame and one direct headline. This layout works for simple utilities, calculators, trackers, and apps where the screen itself explains most of the value.

Outcome-first layout

Lead with the final result: a saved plan, a report, a generated image, a cleaner inbox, or a completed habit. This is useful when the workflow is less interesting than the result.

Comparison layout

Show before and after states when the product improves something visible. Keep the comparison honest and readable. Do not bury the improvement inside small UI details.

Proof layout

Use badges, short metrics, or concise labels to show credibility. Avoid fake social proof. A strong proof screenshot can show local processing, export quality, time saved, or supported device sizes.

Design rules that travel well

  • One main idea per screenshot.
  • Enough contrast for thumbnail scanning.
  • Captions short enough to localize.
  • Consistent background rhythm across the full set.
