Figma and App Store screenshots

App Store screenshots in Figma, or not?

Figma gives you total control, and Apple even publishes Figma templates. It also leaves the sizes, translations and repeats to you. Here's how to decide, and how to use both.

The editor with the background panel open, three screens on the canvas and the inspector on the right.

In short

You can make App Store screenshots in Figma, with total control and your existing design system, and Apple offers Figma templates for its header and search images. You handle the sizes, the frames, the translations and every repeat yourself. A dedicated tool like Appscreensii handles those for you. You can also use both: Appscreensii exports each screen to Figma, with headlines as live text and everything else as positioned image layers.

Figma is best for: Designers with a system, custom layouts, total control
A dedicated tool is best for: Speed, store sizes, translation, repeat releases
Using both: Export from Appscreensii to Figma with live text
Price: Designing costs nothing. Exporting starts a 7-day free trial, then $12 a month, or $10 a month billed annually. See pricing

What a dedicated tool saves

The work around the design.

Sizes and slots

Export at every store size from one design, and be told which ones App Store Connect refuses.

Translation

84 languages, including the text inside your captures, with overrides and a grid, rather than a frame for each language.

Swapping screens

New release? Drop on a screen to swap its capture and keep the design.

Export to Figma anyway

Each screen becomes an SVG that Figma turns into a frame with layers, with headlines as live text in their font.

Which to pick

Which one fits the job?

Pick Appscreensii if…

You want a finished set today
You aren't a designer, or you don't want to be one this week
You ship in several languages
You update screenshots every release

Pick Figma if…

You have a design system and a designer
Your layouts are unusual
Your team already lives in Figma
You want every pixel under your hand

If you do it in Figma

Make one frame per screenshot, at 1206 × 2622 for iPhone and 2064 × 2752 for iPad. Check them against the size list.
Use components for the device and caption, so a change carries across the set.
Use one frame per language, or a translation plugin.
Export as PNG. Check for alpha: App Store Connect refuses it, and rounded corners or a missing background can add it.

Apple's asset best practices page links Figma templates for the product page header and search results.

Questions

Good to know.

Are there Figma templates for App Store screenshots?

Yes. The Figma Community has many, and Apple links to Figma templates for its new header and search images.

How do I get a design from Appscreensii into Figma?

Export to Figma, then drop the SVG on the canvas. It becomes a frame with layers: headlines as live text, everything else as positioned images.

Can I import from Figma?

Not as a design. You can export captures or images from Figma and drop them in.

What does Appscreensii cost?

Designing costs nothing. Exporting starts a 7-day free trial, with a card, then it's $12 a month, or $10 a month billed annually. Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing. A project owner's plan covers the people they invite. See pricing.
