Screenhance

Turn screenshots into polished animated mockups

Add entrances, float, parallax, scrolling, focus effects, and multi-step sequences without keyframing from scratch. Fine-tune supported layers and timing, then export as an animated GIF or video.

Two powerful ways to show your product

Animate still compositions in the Visual Editor, or record the real product flow and polish it in Studio.

Start with screenshots

Animate a composed mockup

Move the screenshot, frame, text, or supporting artwork to reveal hierarchy or connect a short sequence. This works well when the composition matters more than reproducing every click.

Open motion templates

Start with a walkthrough

Record and polish the real flow

Capture a tab, window, or screen with the Screenhance recorder, then use Studio to polish cursor movement, clicks, framing, narration, captions, audio, and the exact sequence of actions.

From still design to finished motion

The editor keeps the screenshots, frames, copy, background, and movement together, so you can revise the design without rebuilding the animation elsewhere.

01

Add your product screens

Drop screenshots into a motion template or bring an existing visual to life without rebuilding the composition in another tool.

02

Choose and tune the movement

Pick a motion template or add movement in the Motion panel. Adjust the style, strength, duration, delay, loop, and exit beat for the full design or selected layers.

03

Export the finished motion

Export a GIF or video for motion-ready placements, plus a crisp static image from the same design whenever you need a poster or still version.

Pick the output after you pick the placement

Format support varies by site, app, email client, and upload surface. Check the current rules for the destination instead of assuming one animated format will work everywhere.

GIF

A self-contained loop for a placement that explicitly accepts animated GIFs.

Preview the exported file at its real display size. Longer, larger, or colour-heavy GIFs can become expensive to load.

Video

A moving website section, social upload, or another video-capable placement.

The editor targets MP4 and may fall back to WebM when the browser cannot encode MP4. Check the destination's current format and size rules.

Static image

A poster, screenshot-only slot, email fallback, or reduced-motion version.

Choose a frame that communicates the result without needing the animation to play.

Motion should clarify, not compete

A useful loop shows one relationship, change, or sequence. It gives important copy time to settle and still makes sense when paused.

Let the frame become readable

Use delay and pacing so screenshots and captions are not moving at the exact moment the viewer needs to read them.

Match length to the idea

Choose 3, 5, or 8 seconds based on the number of beats, then preview the complete loop rather than following a universal duration rule.

Keep a static counterpart

Export a representative still for posters, screenshot-only placements, loading states, and people who have reduced motion enabled.

Test the real destination

Check playback, cropping, legibility, and load behaviour where the asset will actually appear, on both a narrow and wide screen.

What people are saying.

The subtle motion adds a premium feel without becoming distracting.

Eleven A.

Well designed and useful for decks and product launches.

Anthony D.

It surpassed what I expected. The flow is direct, with great layouts and templates for screenshots.

Uchenna N.

Clean, easy to use, and I especially love the one-week pass.

Arthur A.

The one-week pass is perfect for those big portfolio update sprints.

Animated mockup questions

What can I animate in Screenhance?

You can apply motion to a full visual or selected layers such as screenshots, mockups, text, and artwork. Motion styles include subtle ambient movement, entrances, scrolling, parallax, focus effects, and multi-step sequences. Auto animate can create a starting choreography that remains editable.

What is the difference between an animated mockup and a screen recording?

An animated mockup starts with still screenshots or artwork and moves the design layers. A screen recording captures the product being used, including the real sequence of actions. Use the Visual Editor for a composed loop and Screenhance Studio when the source is a recorded walkthrough.

Which animated formats does the Visual Editor export?

The Visual Editor exports animated GIFs and video. Video export targets MP4 when the browser can encode it and can fall back to WebM when it cannot. You can also export a static PNG, WebP, or JPEG from the same design for placements that do not support motion.

How long should an animated mockup be?

There is no universal best length. Screenhance provides 3, 5, and 8-second composition presets, plus per-layer delay, loop, and exit controls. A quiet ambient loop may need only a few seconds; a sequence that introduces several screens needs enough time for each one to become readable.

Are animated exports included on every plan?

Animated GIF and video exports are Pro features. Pro is currently $12 per month or $99 per year and includes clean animated exports. The free plan lets you try the editor with watermarked static exports, while the $6 Launch Pass covers ten clean static image exports over seven days rather than motion exports.

How should I support people who prefer reduced motion?

Export a clear static frame from the same design and use it as the poster or fallback. On a website, stop or replace non-essential animation when the visitor has enabled reduced motion, and make sure the surrounding text explains the idea without relying on movement alone.

Make the screenshot move for a reason

Choose a motion template, replace the example screens, and tune the pacing around the story you need to tell.
