Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 46 of the 49 other app store optimization tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about AppMockUp Studio, taken from its own pages and our grades.
There's no autosave and no store upload, and premium templates cost extra at a price the terms don't give.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | The editor is free with no account, which is under the $9.90 where paid tools in this category start. Premium templates are a separate purchase. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free from first screenshot to export with no sign-up. The only paid part is optional templates. |
| Features | C | Templates, 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It's a web editor where you build the screenshots yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations or API mentioned. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Developers who want a no-account screenshot designer
- Solo developers designing App Store and Google Play screenshots on a budget
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.
