drop a screenshot — everything happens on your device
Compare a screenshot pasted straight into a tweet with the same screenshot in a product launch post and the difference is four small decisions: a bit of padding, a background colour, rounded corners and a soft shadow underneath. The corners and the shadow do most of the work. They turn a hard rectangle into something that looks like a window floating above the page, which is why app announcements, changelogs and pitch decks all use the treatment. This page is for exactly that step.
Drop in a screenshot from any device, a phone capture included, and adjust the corner radius, the padding, the shadow and the background until it matches the place it is going. The result is a PNG ready for a post, a slide or a README. Capture at native resolution rather than zoomed out, because the framing adds polish, not pixels. The rendering runs on your device and the image is not uploaded, which matters because screenshots routinely include browser tabs, notification badges and names you did not intend to share.
Before you beautify, tidy. Crop out the parts of the window you do not need, close irrelevant tabs, and if something private remains, cover it first with the Blur and Redact tool on this site. The rounded corners draw the eye to the content, and a stray email subject will be noticed.

Frequently asked questions
- Why do rounded corners and a shadow help?
- They lift the image off the page and soften harsh edges, giving it the polished, 'product screenshot' feel used in landing pages and presentations.
- Can I control the shadow and radius?
- Yes — adjust the corner radius, padding and shadow strength until it looks right for your layout.
- Does it work with phone screenshots?
- Yes. A tall phone capture gets the same rounded corners, shadow and background as a desktop one, and the result is a PNG you can post or drop into a slide. Crop away the status bar first if you do not want it shown.
- Should I crop the screenshot before adding corners?
- Yes. Trim the capture to the window or region that matters before dropping it in; the tool frames what you give it. A tight crop keeps the rounded card focused on the content rather than on empty desktop.
