What is Launch Shots?

Launch Shots is a screenshot design tool built specifically for app developers and marketers who need polished App Store and Play Store visuals. It combines 75+ professionally designed templates, a versatile editor with real device frames, and AI-powered localization into 100+ languages — all without requiring a credit card to start. You get 3 free downloads every month, and if you need more, a simple credit-based plan starts at just $1. Unlike tools that lock you into a $25/month subscription the moment you’re ready to download, Launch Shots lets you pay only when you actually need it.

Who it's for

• Indie app developers who need to create store screenshots quickly without hiring a designer or learning complex software.
• Marketing teams managing multiple app listings across different languages and regions, who want to automate localization and direct publishing.
• Freelance designers who produce app store assets for clients and need a tool with exclusive features like Frame Extension and Built-in Magnifier to speed up their workflow.

Key features

Frame Extension

Want a hero image or UI element to bleed seamlessly across two adjacent screens? Instead of manually duplicating and nudging elements into alignment, you set one value and the editor handles the rest — pixel-perfectly every time. It works with images, shapes, and device mockups.

Built-in Magnifier

Highlight a subtle UI detail or draw attention to a key interaction without leaving the editor. Place a magnifier on any part of your screenshot and adjust the zoom level to make it pop — no extra tools or re-exports required.

Direct App Store & Play Store Publishing

Skip the zip files and manual drag-and-drop. Connect App Store Connect or Google Play once, hit Publish, and your finished screenshots land in the right device slots, in the right order, across every locale — without leaving Launch Shots.

AI Localization

Translate a single screenshot into 100+ languages in one click. AI preserves your layout, fonts, and design — no re-design or manual copy-paste. Right-to-left scripts and non-Latin characters just work.

What stands out

"Pay only when you actually need it — no surprise subscriptions."

While most screenshot tools hit you with a recurring $25/month fee the moment you’re ready to download, Launch Shots gives you 3 free downloads every month and a credit system starting at $1. This pay-as-you-go model, combined with exclusive features like Frame Extension and direct publishing, makes it a practical choice for developers who want professional results without the monthly commitment.
