Builder
The Builder is a free editor for social graphics, app promos and App Store screenshot sets. You combine your images and videos with text, a call-to-action button, an iPhone mockup, frames, textures and simple animation, then export a PNG, a video or a ZIP of screenshots.
Click Builder in the top bar to open it. You don't need an account to make and export designs. You need one only to submit a design.
Your work isn't saved. Reloading or leaving the page clears the canvas, so export before you go.
The workspace
The canvas fills the middle of the screen. The toolbar along the bottom opens each panel:
| Button | Panel |
|---|---|
| Templates | Ready-made layouts. |
| Layers | Layouts & Images: the images and videos on the canvas. |
| Frame | Canvas size, frame style, border, shadow, effects and background. |
| Animate | Animation (Beta): motion styles and video length. |
| Text | Typography: text layers. |
| CTA | CTA Button: a call-to-action button. |
| Mockup | Device Mockup: an iPhone frame around a screenshot. |
| ASO | Turns ASO mode on or off. See App Store screenshot sets. |
| Export | Downloads your design. |
| Submit | Sends your design for review. |
Panels float over the canvas. Drag a panel by its title bar to move it, and click its close button to hide it.
Add images and videos
- Drag files onto the canvas, or click the Upload Image area and pick them. You can pick several at once.
- To add more later, open Layers and click + Add Image.
You can have up to 4 images or videos on the canvas. Videos play muted and on a loop.
In the Layers panel, each item has buttons to move it up or down, Replace Content and Delete Image.
Drag items on the canvas to move them. They snap to the center of the canvas when you get close.

Click CTA to add a button and edit it:

- Shape: Square, Rounded or Pill.
- Button Color and Text Color.
- Font Size (12–80), Padding X (10–120) and Padding Y (4–60).

Device mockup
The mockup puts a screenshot inside an iPhone frame.

Templates
Click Templates and pick a layout to start from. There are 18, including Text Only, Text & Image, Text & Mockup, Headline Focus, Mockup Promo, App Download, Feature Callout and Mega Sale. Loading a template removes the images on the canvas and applies the template's layout. Some templates add a placeholder image for you to replace using Replace Content in Layers.
Animation
Click Animate to open Animation (Beta).
- Style: Static, Gentle, Pop, Slide, Pulse, Float, Spin, Glitch, Zoom, Bounce, Fade or Swing.
- Video Duration: 5s, 10s or 15s.
- Speed (0.5–2x), Offset (0–500 ms) and Intensity (0.5–2x).
The canvas previews the animation as you change it.
Export
Click Export.
- With the animation style set to Static, you get a PNG at the canvas size.
- With any other style, the Builder records the animation in real time for the chosen duration, then downloads a video. The button reads Recording... while it works. Keep the tab open until the download starts.
Videos are MP4 in browsers that can record MP4. Other browsers record WebM, though the file is still named builder-animation.mp4.
App Store screenshot sets
ASO mode is for building a set of App Store screenshots.
- Click ASO. The canvas switches to iPhone size (1290 × 2796) and a slide strip appears.
- Design the first slide.
- Click + in the slide strip to add a slide, or Duplicate to copy the current one. Click a slide to edit it, or its × to delete it.
- Click Export to download the current slide as a PNG, or Export All to download every slide as PNGs in a ZIP file.
Click ASO again to leave ASO mode. The canvas goes back to Story size.
