Questions people ask
How do I add a background to a screenshot?
Drop the screenshot on this page, tap one of the background presets, and download. The image is centred on the backdrop with padding, rounded corners and a shadow — all adjustable with sliders.
Can I use my own brand colour as the background?
Yes — the Custom swatch opens a colour picker, so you can paste or dial in an exact hex colour and keep every screenshot in a series on-brand.
What is a mesh background?
A blend of several soft colour blobs rather than a straight two-colour gradient — the look you see on modern product marketing pages. Two mesh presets are included and they render identically every time, so a series of screenshots stays consistent.
Is it safe for screenshots of private tools?
Yes — this page has no upload step. The compositing runs on a canvas inside your browser, so a screenshot of an internal dashboard or a private chat never leaves your machine.
What sizes can I export?
Any of the four canvas ratios (16:9, 4:5, 1:1, 3:2), each at double resolution — for example the 16:9 canvas exports at 3840×2160. That keeps small UI text in the screenshot readable after platforms recompress it.
