Best for one-off app screenshots with no account
AppMockUp Studio is a browser editor for App Store and Google Play screenshots, free to export with no account. There's no autosave and no store upload, and premium templates cost extra at a price the terms don't give.
Who AppMockUp Studio is for
- Fits if you need one set of screenshots and don't want an account
- Works for developers happy to keep a .mockup file on their own machine
Who AppMockUp Studio is not for
- Watch out: there's no autosave, so a refresh loses everything since your last saved file
- Skip it if you want to upload to the stores from the tool, as none is mentioned
- Pricey if you want premium templates, as each covers one app and the price isn't stated
- Too light for translating screenshots, as no localization is listed

- AFree plan and trialFree from first screenshot to export with no sign-up. The only paid part is optional templates.
- CFeaturesTemplates, device frames, panoramic backgrounds and titles. It makes the images and stops there: no store upload or integrations on the pages we read, and no autosave.

What this rests on. AppMockUp Studio’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is AppMockUp Studio?
AppMockUp Studio is an online design tool for making App Store and Google Play screenshots. It runs in the browser without an account, offers templates, device frames and panoramic backgrounds, and saves projects as a .mockup file on your own computer. The editor is free; some templates are sold separately.
Worth knowing
- There is no autosave: a closed or refreshed page loses work since the last saved .mockup file.
- Premium templates cost extra; the terms say the price is shown before buying but state no figure.
- Each premium template licence covers one app.
- The pages we read mention no store upload or direct integrations.
Key features
- Templates
- Starts from a template for each type of app. Some templates are premium and are bought inside the editor, with the price shown before purchase.
- Device frames
- Latest devices in real frames or solid-color clay, which can be resized, rotated and placed anywhere in the screenshot.
- Panoramic backgrounds
- Color, gradient or image backgrounds can run across several screenshots, and adjust when a screenshot is added or removed.
- Titles, subtitles and icons
- Custom backgrounds, decorations and text options for titles and subtitles, plus placement of your logo or icons with shadows.
- Local project files
- Projects live in the browser and are saved to a .mockup file on your computer, not on the vendor's servers.
