Use this guide as a compact release reference, then validate the same breakpoints in Sizzy with synchronized devices and screenshot evidence.
Why framed screenshots convert
A screenshot inside a realistic phone or laptop frame instantly communicates 'this is a real product on a real device'. Framed visuals look more credible and polished than bare screenshots, which is why landing pages, app store listings, and launch posts use them. The device frame provides context and a sense of tangibility that a flat rectangle lacks.
Frames signal a real, working product
They add polish to landing pages and store listings
Context makes features easier to grasp
Consistent frames strengthen brand presentation
Capture at the right size and density
Marketing screenshots need to be crisp, so capture at high device pixel ratio and the correct viewport for the frame. App store listings have strict size requirements per device class, and social cards have their own aspect ratios. Plan the target dimensions before capturing so you don't upscale and lose sharpness.
Capture at 2x or 3x for crisp output
Match app store size requirements per device
Plan aspect ratios for social and landing use
Avoid upscaling small captures
Skip the design-tool round trip
Exporting a screenshot, importing it into a design tool, and compositing a frame is slow and breaks flow. Sizzy's Photo Studio captures your live site already inside device frames, so you go from your running app to a polished, framed marketing image in one step - useful for fast iteration on landing pages and launch assets.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add a device frame to a screenshot?
You can composite one in a design tool, but that's slow. A tool like Sizzy's Photo Studio captures your live site already inside realistic device frames, producing framed marketing images in a single step.
What resolution should marketing screenshots be?
Capture at a high device pixel ratio (2x or 3x) so the result stays crisp, and match the target's size requirements - app stores specify exact dimensions per device, and social cards have their own aspect ratios.
Why use framed screenshots on a landing page?
Device frames signal that the product is real and running on real hardware, which reads as more credible and polished than a bare rectangle. They also give viewers context for the UI you're showing.
