Templates accelerate structure; blank canvases give you precise control over a known layout.
Start with a template when the structure is undecided
Templates combine a canvas format, layout, sample media, typography, background, frames and sometimes motion. They are strongest when you know the destination but not yet the composition.
- Filter by destination or surface before choosing a visual style.
- Prefer a template with roughly the same number and orientation of screenshots you have.
- Treat sample copy and imagery as placeholders. Replace both before fine-tuning color or spacing.
- Switching templates can change the composition, so duplicate or save a version before exploring a very different direction.
Start from scratch when the layout is already clear
A blank design is often faster for a simple framed screenshot, a precise existing brand layout, or an asset that must fit an unusual custom ratio.
- 1Choose the intended format or enter the required dimensions.
- 2Upload the primary screenshot first and set its frame or scene.
- 3Build the background and spacing around that product focal point.
- 4Add only the text and assets needed to communicate the claim.
Turn a good result into a reusable system
Duplicate pages or saved projects to preserve shared typography, colors and margins across a campaign. Replace media and copy in the duplicate instead of rebuilding the design. For a multi-channel launch, use Launch Kit when you need different destination formats that still feel coordinated.
