App Store screenshot templates

Minimal (3)

• Clean Launch — The default starting point: neutral background, clear headline, one benefit per slide. If you are unsure which template to pick, start here and change the colours.
• Blush Minimal — Soft pink and lilac with rounded, friendly typography, built for habit, wellness, and lifestyle apps aimed at a consumer audience.
• Gallery White — Near-white backgrounds and a single hairline accent, letting the screenshot itself be the only colour on the slide. Best when your UI is already visually rich.

Bold (4)

• Laurel Launch — Award laurels and rating badges built into the layout, for apps whose strongest argument is that other people already chose them.
• Feature Grid — Multi-element slides that show several capabilities at once, for apps too broad to explain one feature at a time.
• Neon Bold — Saturated neon on black with oversized headlines — built for apps that want to look loud in a crowded category listing. Strongest when your UI has its own bright accents to echo.
• Navy Note — Deep navy with a single bright accent and quiet typography, for note-taking, reading, and focus apps.

Elegant (3)

• Warm Editorial — Playfair headlines on cream, for apps with a curated or premium story to tell — reading, cooking, travel journals.
• Ink & Paper — Serif headlines on a warm paper background, for reading, writing, and news apps. The editorial voice signals substance rather than speed.
• Slate Editorial — Cool grey editorial layouts with a strong headline hierarchy — a professional register for B2B tools and productivity apps.

Playful (5)

• Coral Rush — The first two slides are a single tilted device cut in half by the carousel gutter, so the pair reads as one image as the viewer swipes, then the set straightens up for two feature shots. The energy suits games, social, and lifestyle apps.
• Confetti Pop — Bright confetti decorations and playful badges, for social and consumer apps where the set should feel like an invitation rather than a spec sheet.
• Sunny Side — Warm yellows and rounded shapes, sized for family, education, and food apps that want approachability in the first slide.
• Sunset Pop — Warm orange-to-pink gradients with punchy captions, for lifestyle, dating, and entertainment apps.
• Bubble Gum — Candy-bright pinks with heavy rounded type — a high-energy set for young consumer audiences and casual games.

Dark (4)

• AI Horizon — One tilted device split across the opening pair, so the first two screenshots read as a single image on a charcoal-to-teal field, then two more slides carry the lean forward. Built for AI, chat, and utility apps that need the opener to feel like a product shot.
• Midnight Pro — A near-black canvas with a single accent colour, sized for developer tools and pro apps where the product UI is already dark. High contrast keeps captions legible at thumbnail size.
• Neon Arcade — Arcade-style neon on black with badge elements, built specifically for games and anything competitive.
• Deep Teal Calm — A muted deep-teal palette with generous spacing, for wellness, journalling, and finance apps that need to read as calm rather than urgent.

Gradient (3)

• Ocean Gradient — A blue-to-teal gradient behind floating UI, the most broadly usable gradient set. Works for almost any utility app that wants colour without a strong personality.
• Indigo Tech — Indigo and violet gradients with technical, tightly tracked type — the standard look for developer tools, AI apps, and fintech.
• Coastal Calm — Airy blue-green gradients with light type, for travel, weather, and outdoor apps where the mood is the product.

3D (4)

• Obsidian Orbit — A 3D device orbiting on a dark stage. Use it for a launch set where the first slide has to establish the product as an object before any feature is explained.
• Launch Hero 3D — A posed 3D hero on a bright field, followed by flat feature slides. The mix gives you one attention-grabbing opener without paying the legibility cost on every screenshot.
• Cosmic Showcase — Deep space gradients behind a 3D device, aimed at games and entertainment apps where atmosphere sells harder than feature lists.
• Porcelain Spin — A light, ceramic-toned 3D set with soft shadows — the understated counterpart to Obsidian Orbit, suited to design and photography apps.

What is an App Store screenshot template?

An App Store screenshot template is a pre-designed multi-slide set — background, colour palette, typeface, layout arrangement, and placeholder captions — that you drop your own screenshots into. It removes the two slowest parts of the job: deciding what the set should look like, and making every slide look like it belongs to the same set. AppScreens ships 26 of them, free to use.

How many slides should a template have?

Across the 750+ listings AppScreens tracks, the median set runs 7 screenshots. The templates here ship 3–5 slides because the first three carry the decision — they are what the App Store shows in search results before a user scrolls — and you can duplicate slides for the rest of the set once the design is settled.

Are these App Store screenshot templates free?

Yes. Every template is free to open and edit. The free plan exports three slides at 6.1" with a small watermark; Pro removes the slide limit, unlocks every export resolution, and drops the watermark.

Can I change the colours and fonts in a template?

Everything is editable. A template sets the starting brand configuration — primary and secondary colour, background, typeface, per-slide layout — and each of those is a control in the editor. Most people keep the layout and replace the palette with their own brand colours.

Do these templates work for Google Play as well as the App Store?

Yes. Templates are resolution-independent: the same design exports to iPhone, iPad, and Android sizes, including Google Play's 1080×1920 and 1440×2560. Only the export step differs.

Which template should I pick?

Match the register of your category rather than your personal taste. Utilities and finance apps do better with the minimal and gradient sets, where the interface stays legible; games and entertainment apps can carry the dark, neon, and 3D sets. If you are unsure, start with Clean Launch and change the colours.
