Your screenshots are the single highest-leverage creative asset on your product page. These ten app store screenshot design principles consistently lift install conversion rates.
The 10 principles
- Lead with benefit headlines, not feature names
- Keep the first two screenshots self-explanatory
- Use a device frame so the UI reads as a real app
- Limit copy to one idea per screenshot
- Maintain a consistent background and brand palette
- Use depth — floating devices and soft shadows
- Show real content, never lorem ipsum
- Add a 3D or angled hero shot for the opener
- Localize screenshot text for key markets
- Export at full resolution for crisp Retina display
