App Store Screenshot Templates
You don't need to reinvent the wheel. The most successful App Store listings follow proven layout patterns. AppFinish has these patterns built in — just upload your screenshots and let the tool handle the layout, text placement, and device framing.
Template: Clean Device Frame with Text
The most versatile template: your screenshot inside a realistic device frame, centered on a solid or gradient background, with a bold headline above or below. This works for nearly every app category and is the default pattern in AppFinish's template mode. The text is automatically sized and positioned for readability at App Store thumbnail scale.
Template: 3D Angled Phone with Dark Background
A premium layout where your screenshot is displayed on a 3D-rotated phone with a dark, gradient, or AI-generated background. A headline and supporting text appear alongside the phone. This is what AppFinish's AI mode produces — each screenshot gets a unique angle and shadow for a polished, editorial feel.
Template: Side-by-Side Dual Screen
Some apps benefit from showing two screens at once — for example, a list view and a detail view, or a dashboard and a settings screen. This layout places two slightly smaller device frames side by side with a shared headline. You can achieve this in AppFinish by uploading related screen pairs.
Template: Full-Bleed Screenshot
For apps with a visually stunning UI, sometimes the best approach is to let the screenshot speak for itself. A full-bleed layout uses the screenshot as the entire background with minimal text overlay. This works well for photography, art, and map-based apps.
How to Choose the Right Template
The right template depends on your app category and what you're trying to communicate. Feature-heavy apps benefit from the clean frame + text layout. Premium or lifestyle apps convert better with 3D mockups. Visually rich apps can use full-bleed. When in doubt, start with the clean device frame — it's proven to work across categories. AppFinish lets you try both template and AI modes so you can compare results side by side.
