What Frame Forge Is For
Frame Forge is built for screenshot production, not generic image editing. The focus is preparing repetitive store assets where each file must be the right size, but you still want polished text overlays, background styling, and consistent composition.
- App Store Connect screenshots for iPhone, iPad, and Mac app listings
- Chrome Web Store screenshots and promo tiles (small + marquee)
- Marketing screenshots for release notes, docs, and launch posts
- Reusable screenshot sets where every pane remembers its own settings
How To Use It (Practical Workflow)
- Upload a source app screenshot (or browser UI capture).
- Add output panes from the preset dropdown for the target store sizes.
- Select a pane and edit it in the right inspector (text, badge, colors, background, frame).
- Use style presets or copy/paste style to keep the set consistent.
- Adjust device size and text placement per pane for readability.
- Preview the selected pane in the large preview panel.
- Export one pane or use batch export for the whole set.
Why It Saves Time On Repetitive Tasks
Most screenshot work gets slow because you repeat the same layout steps in different sizes. Frame Forge removes a lot of that repetition by storing pane-specific size + styling decisions and letting you duplicate them. This is especially useful when you are preparing a five-shot App Store set or maintaining screenshots after a product update.
Typical manual workflow: resize artboard, paste screenshot, adjust framing, re-place text, export, repeat. Frame Forge workflow: duplicate pane, adjust copy, export.
How It Improves Screenshot Quality
- Consistent spacing and text placement across a whole screenshot set
- Reusable font/color/badge styles so screenshots feel like one campaign
- Device frame toggles and device size scaling for better composition control
- Supersampled exports for cleaner text rendering than taking browser screenshots
Who It Is For
- Solo founders shipping app updates often
- Indie developers maintaining App Store and Chrome listings
- Designers / product marketers preparing launch assets quickly
- Agencies making repeated screenshot sets for multiple clients
Use Cases
App Store Connect feature story screenshots
Create one pane per feature message, keep the same style, and change only the copy. Use pane-specific background overrides when one feature needs stronger contrast.
Chrome Web Store promo tiles
Switch the device frame off, increase the text hierarchy, and export 440×280 small promo tile or 1400×560 marquee tile assets from the same workflow.
Release refreshes
Update the source screenshot, keep the pane set, and only revise the headlines/subtitles for the new release. This avoids rebuilding the whole set from scratch.
Alternatives (And Why Use Frame Forge)
There are good alternatives depending on your workflow:
- Figma / Sketch: Flexible for custom layouts, but repetitive for lots of export sizes unless you build and maintain templates.
- Photoshop / Affinity: Great for deep image editing, slower for quick repeated screenshot batches and preset-driven pane export.
- Canva: Fast for marketing graphics, less purpose-built for app-store screenshot sets with device/pane workflows.
- Manual browser screenshots: Fast initially, inconsistent and lower quality for repeated store assets.
Frame Forge is strongest when you need repeatability, speed, and consistent presentation more than open-ended design composition.
