Step-by-Step Tutorial

1

Capture Raw Screenshots

Take screenshots directly from iOS Simulator (⌘ + S) or Android Emulator (camera icon). Capture at the native device resolution — don't resize or crop. You want the highest quality source images possible. For iPhone, target the 6.9" display resolution (1320 × 2868 px). For Android, 1080 × 1920 px is the standard.

2

Upload Screenshots to the Studio

Open ReinShots Studio in your browser and drag-and-drop your screenshot files into the gallery area. You can upload all your screens at once — the studio organizes them into a connected sequence automatically. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your screenshots are never uploaded to any server.

3

Choose a Panoramic Background

This is what separates professional app screenshots from amateur ones. Select a vibrant gradient or upload your own background image. ReinShots' panoramic engine calculates the exact slice positions so your background flows seamlessly across all screenshot panels — creating a connected, visually cohesive gallery that draws the eye across your entire listing.

4

Add Device Bezels

Wrap your raw screenshots in realistic device frames. Choose from the latest iPhone, Android phone, and tablet bezels in multiple color finishes (Space Black, Silver, Natural Titanium). Device bezels add depth and professionalism — they signal to users that your app is a polished, high-quality product.

5

Write Compelling Caption Text

Add headline and subtitle text above or below each device mockup. Focus on benefits, not features. Instead of "Built-in Calendar", write "Never Miss a Deadline Again". Keep text large enough to read in thumbnail view — remember, users browse the App Store on their phones. Use custom fonts and adjust sizing to match your brand.

6

Export at Exact Dimensions

Click the export button and choose your target platform preset. ReinShots generates pixel-perfect PNG or JPEG files at the exact dimensions required by App Store Connect or Google Play Console. You can export individual screenshots or batch-export all screens as a ZIP file.

⏱️ Total Time: Under 5 Minutes

The entire workflow — from uploading raw captures to having submission-ready assets — takes less than 5 minutes with ReinShots Studio. Since everything runs locally in your browser, there's zero server queue or upload time.
