Use case
Polished product screenshots, from the real UI
Product marketing screenshots have to look polished without misrepresenting the product. Captorify lets you capture the real UI in the browser, then beautify it with a gradient or solid background, padding, rounded corners, and a shadow, and export it sized for social, docs, or a landing page. It polishes real captures; it does not generate mockups.
The product-marketing screenshot problem
A raw screenshot of a live product rarely looks like marketing. It is the right pixels in the wrong setting: hard against the edges, no background, no breathing room, and inconsistent sizes across a post, a doc, and a landing page.
The fix is not a fabricated mockup that drifts from the real interface. It is taking the actual UI and giving it a consistent, intentional finish, so what readers see is genuinely the product, just presented well.
- Raw captures look unfinished against marketing surfaces.
- Inconsistent sizing breaks across social, docs, and pages.
- The goal is real UI with an intentional finish.
Capture the real UI
Start by capturing what you actually want to show. Grab a region when you want a single panel or control, or take a full-page screenshot when the story runs past the viewport, such as a whole onboarding flow or a long settings page.
Capturing the real screen first keeps the visual honest: everything downstream is styling applied to a genuine capture, not an illustration built from scratch.
- Capture a region for a focused panel or control.
- Capture full page for flows that run past the viewport.
- Everything after this is styling on a real capture.
Polish with backgrounds and depth
With the capture in hand, beautify it. Set a background from the 12 preset mesh gradients, the solid presets, or a custom hex color, so the screenshot sits on a deliberate backdrop instead of a bare edge.
Then tune the finish with the sliders: padding (0 to 256px) for breathing room, border radius (0 to 48px) for rounded corners, and shadow blur (0 to 80px) and opacity (0 to 60 percent) for depth. The editor previews each change live before you export.
- Backgrounds: 12 mesh gradients, solid presets, or custom hex.
- Sliders for padding, corner rounding, and shadow depth.
- Live preview before you export.
Size for each channel
Each surface wants a different shape. Beautify fixes the output to Original, 1:1, 4:3, or 16:9, so the same capture becomes a square social post, a 4:3 slide image, or a 16:9 hero without manual cropping in another tool.
Choosing the aspect ratio inside beautify means the framing, padding, and background are composed to that shape from the start, so the exported image fits the channel rather than being cropped to fit afterward.
- 1:1 for square social posts.
- 4:3 for slides and docs.
- 16:9 for wide hero images; Original to keep proportions.
Keep it on-brand
Consistency is what makes a set of screenshots feel like one campaign. Use a custom hex background to match your palette exactly, or one of the brand-leaning presets (Violet, Purple, Pink, Deep Blue, Ink), so every image draws from the same colors.
Then keep the same padding, corner radius, shadow, and aspect ratio across a series, so every image reads as part of the same family rather than a one-off.
- Custom hex or brand presets for an exact palette.
- Reuse the same padding, corners, and shadow across a series.
- Keep one aspect ratio per channel for a cohesive set.
From capture to post
The workflow is short: capture the real UI, beautify it with a background, padding, corners, and a shadow, set the aspect ratio for the channel, then export. Because beautify renders server-side and stores the result, you get a real exported image, not just a preview.
Be clear about what this is. Beautify polishes screenshots of your actual product. It is a Pro feature, and it is not a mockup or illustration generator, so the strength of the output is that it shows the real thing, presented well.
