We Built an iOS Screenshot Generator So Developers Can Ship Faster

Creating App Store screenshots shouldn't slow down your release. Here's the browser-based tool we built to solve that problem.

We Built an iOS Screenshot Generator So Developers Can Ship Faster

Shipping an iOS app is hard enough. Creating App Store preview screens shouldn't slow you down.

Yet for many developers, screenshots become a surprisingly painful part of the release process - juggling device sizes, frames, layouts, and export specs just to get something acceptable into App Store Connect.

That frustration is what led us at Storq Labs to build the iOS Screenshot Generator: πŸ‘‰ https://www.storqlabs.com/ios-screenshot-generator/

A simple web tool designed to help developers create clean, professional App Store screenshots without design software.


The Problem We Kept Running Into

As developers ourselves, we've shipped multiple iOS apps - and every release followed the same pattern:

  • The app is ready
  • The features are solid
  • And then… screenshots + formatting delay everything

Design tools are powerful, but often overkill for something as specific as App Store previews. Small UI changes mean re-exporting assets. Different devices require different sizes. And suddenly, a simple update turns into a design chore.

We wanted a faster, more repeatable workflow.


What the iOS Screenshot Generator Does

The iOS Screenshot Generator is a browser-based tool that helps you turn raw app screens into polished preview images - ready for App Store submission or marketing use.

Instead of manually composing screenshots, the tool lets you:

  • Upload your app screenshots
  • Place them into iPhone or iPad device frames
  • Adjust layouts, spacing, and backgrounds
  • Export everything in App Store-ready sizes

No Figma files. No Photoshop templates. No guessing resolutions. Just screenshots, framed and ready.

Built From Our Own Workflow

This tool wasn't built as a standalone experiment - it came directly from our internal workflow at Storq Labs (https://www.storqlabs.com/).

We used it while shipping our own apps, including:

WhoWon - Who Has the Power? πŸ‘‰ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whowon-who-has-the-power/id6757409022

Pickleball Score Counter πŸ‘‰ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pickleball-score-counter/id6757720005

Clarity Reader for Safari πŸ‘‰ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/clarity-reader-for-safari/id6757594176

and more!

Each time, the same benefit showed up: less time on assets, more time on building.

Once it proved useful internally, turning it into a public tool was an easy decision.


Why This Approach Works

Instead of trying to be a full design platform, the Screenshot Generator focuses on one job and does it well:

  • Device framing is automatic - no manual alignment
  • Layouts are predictable - consistent spacing across screens
  • Exports are correct - sized exactly for App Store requirements
  • Everything lives in the browser - no installs, no plugins

It's not about creative freedom. It's about speed, clarity, and consistency.


Who It's For

The iOS Screenshot Generator is built for:

  • Indie developers shipping solo
  • Small teams without dedicated designers
  • Developers iterating quickly on updates
  • Anyone who wants clean screenshots without extra tooling

If you've ever delayed a release because screenshots weren't ready, this tool is for you.


Focused on iOS (For Now)

Right now, the Screenshot Generator is iOS-only, with support for iPhone and iPad previews. That focus lets us keep the tool fast, accurate, and aligned with App Store requirements - without spreading it too thin.
