Why Choose Screenhance?

Two capabilities that separate Screenhance from every other mockup tool in 2026: animated exports and App Store screenshot localization.

Animated GIF & WebM exports

Template-driven motion — float, reveal, parallax. Export animated mockups at Product Hunt, landing-page, and Twitter/X dimensions. Most mockup tools are static-only.

App Store localization in 80+ languages

One master design, per-locale captions, every required Apple and Google Play size per language. RTL and CJK support. Apple reports localized listings drive 2-3x install lifts.

Every required Apple & Google size

iPhone 17 Pro Max (1320×2868), iPhone Air (1260×2736), iPad Pro M4 (2064×2752), and the full Google Play set — exported from one design in a single pass.

30 seconds, zero design skills

Pick a template, drop in your screenshot, export. No Figma, no Photoshop, no learning curve. Free tier covers 3 exports a month; $6 Week Pass unlocks unlimited for a launch.

The Honest Trade-offs Between Shots.so and Screenhance

What Shots.so still does best

Shots.so wins on speed and zero friction. There is no signup, no template browsing, no editor \u2014 you paste a screenshot, pick a background, and download. For a one-off Twitter screenshot at 11pm, that flow is hard to beat. The single-purpose simplicity is the entire point.

The free tier is also genuinely free. Shots.so does not throttle exports, watermark output, or push you toward an upgrade for basic use. If you make one mockup a month and never need anything beyond a gradient background behind a browser frame, Shots.so will serve you fine and you do not need this page.

Where Screenhance pulls ahead

The moment your needs go past one image, the math changes. Screenhance ships with App Store screenshot sets that render eight panels at the correct iOS dimensions in one pass. Shots.so does not. Screenhance has animated exports \u2014 MP4 and GIF \u2014 for landing pages and Product Hunt galleries. Shots.so does not.

And the template library is a different category of asset. Shots.so gives you a background generator. Screenhance gives you 100+ pre-composed layouts with device frames, text, captions, multi-screen arrangements, and changelog and feature-launch designs ready to ship. If you make mockups every week, the template starting point saves hours.

Use Shots.so for the quickest possible single image. Use Screenhance when output volume, format variety, or animation matters.

Migrating mid-launch from Shots.so to Screenhance

The teams that come to us mid-launch usually share the same story. They started a Product Hunt run or a Series A campaign in Shots.so because it was fast, got three or four assets in, then hit a wall — they needed an animated demo, or eight App Store panels at iOS sizes, or a multi-device hero, and Shots.so could not ship it. So they tried to move the rest of the launch to a different tool without breaking the visual continuity of what they had already shipped.

That migration is usually less painful than it looks. The underlying assets — raw product screenshots, the brand colour, the chosen font weight — carry over cleanly. The work is matching the background style. Shots.so leans heavily on a small set of pastel gradients; Screenhance ships dozens of presets but also lets you upload a flat colour or a custom gradient to match the cards already in market. Pick one of the presets that visually matches what you shipped on day one and the cross-tool stitching disappears.

The harder migration is when you have committed to a specific Shots.so device frame — their particular MacBook bezel or browser chrome — and need the new assets to look like part of the same set. The trick is to switch frame styles in Screenhance to one of the minimal frames (no bezel, no shadow), which is the visually safest neighbour to almost any Shots.so output. Save that frame as a default and any new asset you ship will sit cleanly next to the existing run.

One rule worth following: do not re-export the assets you have already shipped just to make them “consistent.” Replacing a live OG image or a Product Hunt gallery panel mid-campaign creates a worse problem than the original visual mismatch — cache invalidation, broken social previews, and a half-launched campaign that suddenly looks like it changed direction. Lock the assets that are live and use the new tool for the new work. Migration is forward-only.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Screenhance different from Shots.so?

Screenhance offers 100+ templates, more device frames (iPhone, MacBook, iPad, Android, browser), and a full editor with complete control over backgrounds, text, and layout.

Is Screenhance more expensive?

No. The free plan includes 3 exports per month. Pro plans start at $6 for a 7-day pass — comparable or cheaper than alternatives.

Can I recreate my Shots.so designs?

Yes. Screenhance supports the same core features — screenshot beautification, device frames, gradient backgrounds — plus much more.

Is Screenhance free?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 exports per month with all templates and device frames. Pro plans start at $6 for a 7-day pass.

Does Shots.so have a real free tier or just a trial?

Shots.so has an actual free tier with no watermark for basic single-image use. The catch is that anything fancier — multi-frame composites, animated output, App Store size sets — is not on the menu at any price. Screenhance is free for 3 exports a month with the full feature set unlocked.

Do I have to sign up to use Screenhance?

Yes, but signup is email-only and takes under thirty seconds. The reason: your projects auto-save, your templates persist, and your exports stay in your account. Shots.so trades that off for instant access — a fair trade if you never need to come back to a project.

Can Shots.so do animated exports?

No. Shots.so is single static image output. Screenhance supports animated MP4 and GIF exports for hero sections, product demos, and changelog posts. If you have ever wanted a subtle parallax or autoplay loop on your landing page, the gap is significant.

How many device frames does each tool support?

Shots.so covers the basics — current iPhone, MacBook, browser. Screenhance covers every recent iPhone (including 16 Pro), MacBook, iPad in landscape and portrait, Android, browser at multiple aspect ratios, and Apple Watch. For ASO and App Store work, the device variety matters.

Mobile vs browser — which one wins?

Shots.so is browser-only and works fine on mobile screens for one-off use. Screenhance is browser-based but the editor is built for desktop work where you are arranging multiple device frames, tuning text, and exporting at high resolution. Both run anywhere; the deeper editor pays off on a larger screen.

Can I keep using Shots.so for some assets and Screenhance for others?

Yes, and a lot of teams do exactly that for the first few months. Shots.so handles the one-off Twitter screenshot at 11pm; Screenhance handles the launch gallery, the App Store set, and the animated hero. Pick one neutral background style across both tools and the cross-tool work reads as a single brand.

If I migrate mid-launch, should I re-export the assets I already shipped?

No. Replacing a live OG image or a published Product Hunt gallery panel creates a worse problem than the original visual mismatch — cache invalidation, broken social previews, and a campaign that looks like it changed direction halfway through. Lock the live assets and use the new tool for everything you have not shipped yet.

Does Screenhance support the same gradient presets as Shots.so?

Not 1:1, but the visual neighbourhood overlaps. Screenhance ships dozens of pastel and mesh gradient presets that match the Shots.so aesthetic, plus the ability to upload a flat colour or custom gradient to mirror a specific Shots.so background exactly. Most migrations land on a close-enough match in under five minutes.

Which tool is faster for a single one-off image?

Shots.so wins on raw clicks-to-export when you need exactly one static image and you do not care about it persisting in your account. Screenhance wins when the asset is going to be edited again, when you need format variety, or when the export needs to be a specific aspect ratio. For a one-off tweet screenshot, Shots.so is faster. For everything that has a second life, Screenhance is faster.
