# appdesigns appdesigns is a browser-based editor for creating App Store and Google Play screenshot sets from uploaded app screens. It supports exact store canvas sizes, device frames, text and backgrounds, with an optional MCP workflow for generating editable sets from coding agents. - Findings24: - Website: - Pricing: Freemium - Categories: Developer Tools ## What is appdesigns? appdesigns is a browser-based editor for turning app screenshots into store listing assets. It supports App Store sets for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, plus Google Play screenshots using store-sized canvases and Android device frames. The workflow is direct: upload one screenshot per screen, select a canvas and device frame, customize the background and headline, then export. App Store exports use the selected App Store Connect dimension, while the Google Play workflow supports a 1080 × 1920 upload canvas and can leave the screenshot unframed. The editor is free to use without an account, with unlimited exports and no watermark. A free account adds cloud save, cross-device project access and gallery submission. The optional Pro plan adds AI-assisted creation, caption ideas, localized sets, custom fonts and unlimited uploads to the asset library. ## What can appdesigns do? ### Store-specific canvas sizes Create App Store assets for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, or export Google Play screenshots at the stated store dimensions. The editor opens directly at the selected size. ### Device frames and presentation controls Place screenshots in current iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, Pixel and Galaxy frames. Adjust backgrounds, text, scale, tilt, shadow and glare, or turn the frame off for a plain store screenshot. ### Headlines, templates and backgrounds Add headlines using the editor’s available font choices, select flat or gradient backgrounds, use an image background, and start from a template or gallery set before replacing the example screens. ### Flattened store-ready exports Export sets at the selected canvas size as flattened images without transparency. The App Store workflow describes PNG exports without an alpha channel, while Google Play accepts JPEG or 24-bit PNG without an alpha channel. ### Optional AI and brand assets Pro adds AI Mode for a generated set with a headline for each screen, a color palette and type pairing; it also provides caption ideas, translated projects, custom font uploads and unlimited asset-library uploads. ### MCP workflow for coding agents An MCP server lets compatible coding agents capture app screens, upload them and open an editable App Store or Google Play set in the browser. The connection uses the published MCP endpoint and does not require an API key. ## Use Cases ### Preparing an App Store listing Upload iPhone screens, select a 6.9-inch or another supported App Store canvas, add listing headlines and export a consistent set for App Store Connect. Add iPad, Mac or Watch canvases when the app ships on those platforms. ### Creating Google Play upload assets Build a 1080 × 1920 Android set that fits the stated Google Play dimension and aspect-ratio rules. Turn off the device frame for the store upload, or use Pixel and Galaxy frames for a website, advertisement or press kit. ### Building a polished set without a designer Start from a template or a gallery set, replace its example screens, revise the copy and adjust the background and device presentation. This provides a structured editing path for a developer preparing a listing independently. ### Generating screenshots from a development workflow Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Gemini CLI or another compatible MCP client. Ask the agent to capture the app, upload the screens and open the editable set for browser-based finishing. ### Localizing or standardizing a released set Pro users can translate every caption in a set into separate language projects, upload brand fonts in supported formats, and keep repeated app imagery in the asset library for reuse. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can I use appdesigns without an account? Yes. The free editor allows creation and downloading without an account, and free use includes the editor, device frames, canvas sizes, templates, unlimited exports and no watermark. An account is needed for cloud saving, cross-device projects, gallery submission and Pro subscription management. ### What does the editor export? Exports are rendered at the selected canvas size as flattened images. The App Store workflow specifies PNG exports without an alpha channel; the Google Play guidance accepts JPEG or 24-bit PNG without an alpha channel. Store content and submission rules still apply to the finished images. ### What Google Play size should I use? The Google Play page identifies 1080 × 1920 as the upload canvas: it meets the stated 1080-pixel minimum for featuring and the two-to-one maximum aspect ratio. The taller 1080 × 2400 and 1440 × 3120 screen shapes are intended for framed artwork outside the Play upload. ### Does Google Play require a phone frame? No. The product’s Google Play guidance says Google recommends avoiding device imagery in store screenshots, so the frame can be turned off and the screenshot can fill the canvas. Pixel, Galaxy and generic frames remain available for websites, ads and press materials. ### How does the MCP workflow handle screenshots? The connected agent uploads screenshots to a private staging area. When a set is saved, the files are copied into the user’s private project and the staged files are deleted; unsaved sets are deleted after 72 hours at the latest. The MCP connection itself requires no API key or account, but saving the set to a library requires an account. ## Quick Facts - **Product type**: Browser-based app screenshot editor - **Platforms**: App Store and Google Play - **App Store devices**: iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch - **Google Play upload canvas**: 1080 × 1920 - **Free access**: No account required; unlimited exports and no watermark - **Agent workflow**: MCP endpoint for compatible coding agents
