Screenshot Beautifier: what it does and when to use it
The Screenshot Beautifier turns a plain screenshot into an image worth posting: it sits on a soft gradient or solid background, with rounded corners, a drop shadow and, if you like, a macOS or browser window frame around it. Developers use it for README files, launch posts and changelogs, and everyone else for slides, tutorials and social posts.
Choose a background from eight gradients, a solid colour or transparent, then set the padding, the corner radius and how strong the shadow is. The Shape option pads the result to exactly 16:9 for slides and YouTube, 1:1 or 4:5 for Instagram, or 2:1 for X, so nothing gets cropped when you post it. Screenshots up to 3,000 pixels wide keep their full sharpness.
It runs entirely in your browser, which matters for screenshots of private dashboards, emails or unreleased products. Crop the screenshot to the part that matters first with the Image Cropper, and blur any personal details with Pixelate & Censor before you share it. For a photo on a fixed shape without the frame, use No Crop.
Screenshot Beautifier: frequently asked questions
How do I make a screenshot look professional?
Drop it in and it is placed on a gradient with rounded corners, a soft shadow and a macOS window frame. Adjust the padding and shadow, pick the shape for where you will post it, and download the PNG.
What size is best for X (Twitter) and LinkedIn?
Choose 2:1 for X, which shows the whole image in the timeline, and 16:9 or 1:1 for LinkedIn. The tool pads the image to the shape rather than cropping it.
Is my screenshot uploaded?
No. It is drawn in your browser and never leaves your computer, which is why it is safe for private dashboards and unreleased work.
Can I use my brand colours?
Yes. Choose Solid colour and pick your colour, or Transparent to place the framed screenshot on your own background later.
