Launch Shots - Create stunning App/Play Store screenshots in minutes | Product Hunt
Verdict

AppMockUp Studio is a genuinely good free option, and the no-account start is the fastest way into a first draft in this whole category. Launch Shots adds the parts that come after the design — translation into store languages, direct upload to both stores, and an ASO console — and keeps your work in an account so you can come back to it.

About AppMockUp Studio

AppMockUp Studio is a free web tool for building App Store and Google Play screenshots with no account required. It covers device frame customisation, backgrounds (colour, gradient, image, panoramic), icons and logos, titles and subtitles, patterns, highlights and mesh gradients, with a preview before export. A beta feature lets one design serve both platforms.

When AppMockUp Studio is the right choice

No account, no card, no onboarding — you land on the page and start designing. If you want one set of screenshots today and never want to think about the tool again, that is hard to beat.

Why people switch to Launch Shots

The gap shows up on the second launch and on international releases. There is no translation into store languages, no upload to App Store Connect or Google Play Console, and no ASO tooling — so the listing work after the design is still manual. Launch Shots covers that end and keeps projects saved across launches.

Store Listings

Now Launch Shots manages the whole listing, not just the screenshots.

The copy around your screenshots is half the listing, and it is usually the half that gets edited in a browser tab at midnight. Launch Shots reads it from the store, keeps every locale in one place, and writes it back when you are ready.

One grid · every locale · written back

  1. 01

    Pull the live listing

    Connect App Store Connect or Google Play with your own credentials, add an app, and every locale you have already published comes down as an editable draft.

  2. 02

    Edit every field

    Name, subtitle, description, keywords, promotional text, what’s new. Each one is checked against the store’s character limit while you write, so nothing gets rejected on submission.

  3. 03

    Translate the rest

    Write once in your source language and translate into the others. When the source copy moves, only the translations that went stale are flagged — hand-edited ones are left alone.

  4. 04

    Publish copy and screenshots together

    Bind your screenshot sets to a locale and push both back in one run. Anything that changed on the store since you pulled is shown side by side before a word is written.

Pulling, editing and translating are free. Credits are only spent when something is written to the store — 1 per locale published.

FAQ03

Frequently asked

Is AppMockUp Studio free?

Yes — it is free to use and does not require an account. That makes it one of the quickest ways to get a first set of store screenshots.

Does AppMockUp Studio translate screenshots or upload to the stores?

No. It produces the images; translating them into store languages and uploading them to App Store Connect or Google Play Console are separate manual steps. Launch Shots handles both from the same editor.

Why would I use Launch Shots instead?

Mainly if you are shipping in more than one language, publishing to both stores, or launching more than once — translation, direct upload with multi-account support, saved projects and a free ASO console are the difference. For a single quick set, AppMockUp Studio is a fine choice.
