A screenshot can look good on its own and still feel out of place beside the next one. Add a feature graphic with a different palette, a headline that wraps awkwardly, and a device that covers the copy, and the listing starts to lose its sense of direction.
Our latest AppStudio update focuses on that whole composition. We have expanded the template library, brought screenshots and feature graphics into one design selection, and refined the editor so you can judge the details more clearly. The result is a more consistent starting point for telling your app's story.
Choose a style once, carry it across the listing
AppStudio now offers 16 coordinated design sets. Each includes six editable screenshot compositions and one matching feature graphic: 96 screenshot layouts and 16 feature graphic layouts across the library.
Screenshots and feature graphics share a collection's colors, typography, and decorative elements. Select a screenshot style during project creation and its matching feature graphic is selected too. You can see both formats together before creating the project, with previews that reflect your app details and uploaded images.
The compositions are designed for their different shapes. A portrait screenshot gives the app interface room to lead; a wide feature graphic brings the app name, short benefit, and imagery into a compact arrangement. The family resemblance comes from the design choices, without forcing the same layout into every format.
Eight new collections to explore
The eight new collections extend the library from restrained editorial layouts to colorful, expressive scenes. Each has six distinct screenshot compositions, so you can keep a recognizable style while changing the emphasis from one screen to the next.
| Collection | Visual direction |
|---|---|
| Arcade Neon | Deep navy, bright cyan grids, and glowing rings. |
| Peach Horizon | Warm sunrise colors, soft arcs, and open space. |
| Terrarium | Sage green, terracotta, arches, and botanical shapes. |
| Studio Grid | Fine grids, structured typography, and a red accent. |
| Brutal Block | Thick outlines, bold blocks, and hard offset shadows. |
| Onyx Gold | Dark backgrounds, gold details, and layered cards. |
| Playground | Clouds, hills, balloons, and a playful palette. |
| Newsstand | Editorial headlines, red rules, and contrasting paper panels. |
The original eight collections remain available: Editorial Sand, Midnight Mint, Coral Play, Blue Air, Mood Journal, Bold Type, Gallery Film, and Clean Panels. They received the same attention to text fitting and composition as the new additions.
More room for the message and the app
We reviewed the templates as store artwork, with particular attention to what readers see first. Headlines have clearer space around them, devices have more room to show the interface, and decorative objects sit away from the main text. A few close-up compositions intentionally crop the bottom of the device to keep the app screen prominent.
We also removed page numbers, issue labels, decorative barcodes, repeated app-name headers, and arbitrary chapter captions. Those details can suit a magazine spread, but they take space from the feature a screenshot is meant to explain. The opening screenshot introduces the app; the following screens give each headline and interface view room to speak.
Text fitting now accounts more carefully for line height and letter shapes. Korean copy with spaces wraps by word, while unspaced Korean, Chinese, and Japanese can wrap by character. This makes the templates a better starting point for localized copy, especially when a translated headline needs more room than the original.
Feature graphics have their own treatment: the app name, short benefit, icon, and a frameless app-image card sit inside generous margins. They share the screenshot collection's style while keeping the wide composition focused and readable.
A sharper canvas with space to work
Soft previews make small design decisions difficult. We updated the canvas rendering so every screenshot artboard uses the current zoom level and the display's pixel density. Text, images, and device edges now remain clearer across the workspace, including artboards that are not selected. This improves the preview; the detail in an uploaded screenshot still depends on its source resolution.
Artboards also have visible space between them. That makes it easier to identify each screenshot's boundary and inspect objects near the edges. The gap belongs to the editing workspace: exported images retain their original artboard dimensions, and artwork that spans neighboring screenshots still connects across the exported sequence.
Device frames that look like the hardware
The device picker now includes 17 devices with realistic frame artwork, preserving details such as bezels, buttons, and camera openings. The app image is fitted to the measured screen opening, and the hardware keeps its proportions.
New device frames default to Galaxy S21 Ultra. You can choose another supported device when it suits your screenshots. Feature graphics use frameless app-image cards, so the default phone frame does not add hardware to those layouts.
A simpler path from the home page to your project
The home page now centers on starting a project or returning to your existing work. A three-step workflow explains the process, with links to the other AppStudio tools below it. We removed the separate demo showcase to give those actions more focus.
Inside project creation, app details, source images, and optional writing preferences are separated from the design gallery. You can compare collections and inspect the matching screenshot and feature graphic previews in the same flow.
Try a complete set with your own screenshots
- 1Add your app details and source images. Your first six uploaded screenshots fill the six starting compositions in order. Missing images leave editable frames.
- 2Choose a design set. Compare the portrait screenshots and the matching feature graphic together, then create the project.
- 3Refine the story in the editor. Adjust headlines, image crops, colors, and positions to suit the features you want to highlight. Review each language's copy in its final layout.
- 4Save and export. Save your edits explicitly, then export individual PNGs or the complete artwork set as a ZIP.
For an existing project, open Templates in the editor to apply a collection to the current language. The feature graphic and all six screenshots change together, while screenshot titles and source images are kept by position. Undo restores the previous artwork if you want to compare directions.
Frequently asked questions
Are screenshots and feature graphics selected separately?
Each of the 16 built-in design sets includes six screenshots and a matching feature graphic. Choosing a set during project creation selects both formats. Applying a set in the editor replaces both formats for the current language.
Can I change the number of screenshots?
A new project starts with six screenshots. You can add or remove screenshots in the editor afterward. Applying a complete collection restores its six-screen structure.
Does the space between artboards appear in exported images?
No. The gap is part of the workspace. Each PNG contains only its artboard's artwork at the original dimensions, so neighboring images can still form a continuous composition.
Will my existing projects switch to Galaxy S21 Ultra?
Saved artwork is preserved. Galaxy S21 Ultra is the default for newly created device frames; existing designs change when you edit their frame or explicitly apply a new collection.
