Turn a framed screenshot into a coherent, branded marketing asset.

01

Write and format text

Use one strong headline for the promise, then a smaller caption only when it adds information. Select a text layer to edit its words, font, weight, size, line height, alignment, color and other available styling.

  • Lead with the user outcome: “Find every invoice” is stronger than “Search feature.”
  • Keep line breaks intentional. Re-check them after changing font or canvas size.
  • Use contrast and size for hierarchy before adding extra colors or effects.
  • At small social or store sizes, remove secondary copy that cannot be read comfortably.
02

Build the supporting visual system

Backgrounds can be solid, gradient, mesh-like, image-based or transparent depending on the design and plan. Assets include shapes, icons, badges, illustrations, emoji and your own uploaded images.

  1. 1Set the background to the main brand tone or a quiet neutral that supports the screenshot.
  2. 2Add one supporting asset family, such as icons or abstract shapes, and keep its visual language consistent.
  3. 3Align repeated items and use the same spacing rhythm throughout the page.
  4. 4Check that decorative elements do not cover the screenshot opening or compete with the headline.
03

Use Layers as the control centre

  • Drag layers to change front-to-back order.
  • Rename or identify repeated elements before the design becomes crowded.
  • Lock finished structural layers and hide alternatives you want to keep without exporting.
  • Duplicate elements to preserve exact styling, then change only the content.
  • Delete hidden leftovers before final export if they are no longer needed.
