App Store Screenshots

Create app store screenshots and preview videos via inference.sh CLI.

Quick Start

Requires inference.sh CLI (infsh). Install instructions

infsh login

# Generate a device mockup scene
infsh app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input '{
  "prompt": "iPhone 15 Pro showing a clean modern app interface with analytics dashboard, floating at slight angle, soft gradient background, professional product photography, subtle shadow, marketing mockup style",
  "width": 1024,
  "height": 1536
}'

Platform Specifications

Apple App Store (iOS)

• Up to 10 screenshots per localization
• First 3 screenshots are visible without scrolling (critical)
• Formats: PNG or JPEG (no alpha/transparency for JPEG)

Google Play Store (Android)

• Feature graphic: 1024 x 500 px (required for featuring)
• Promo video: YouTube URL (optional but recommended)

The First 3 Rule

80% of App Store impressions show only the first 3 screenshots (before the user scrolls). These three must:

1. Communicate the core value proposition
2. Show the best feature/outcome
3. Differentiate from competitors

Screenshot Styles

1. Device Frame with Caption

The standard: device mockup showing the app, caption text above/below.

┌──────────────────────────┐
│   "Track Your Habits     │  ← Caption (benefit-focused)
│    Effortlessly"         │
│                          │
│   ┌──────────────────┐   │
│   │                  │   │
│   │   App Screen     │   │  ← Actual app UI in device frame
│   │   Content        │   │
│   │                  │   │
│   │                  │   │
│   └──────────────────┘   │
│                          │
└──────────────────────────┘

2. Full-Bleed UI (No Device Frame)

The app UI fills the entire screenshot. Works for immersive apps.

3. Lifestyle Context

The device shown in a real-world context (person holding phone, on desk, etc.).

4. Feature Highlight with Callouts

UI screenshot with arrows/circles pointing to specific features.

Caption Writing

Rules

• Max 2 lines of text
• Benefit-focused , not feature-focused
• 30pt+ equivalent font size (must be readable in store)

Examples

❌ Feature-focused:
"Push Notification System"
"Calendar View with Filters"
"Data Export Functionality"

✅ Benefit-focused:
"Never Miss a Deadline Again"
"See Your Week at a Glance"
"Share Reports in One Tap"
