Screenshot Beautifier

A raw screenshot is functional but flat — cramped against the edges, hard corners, no depth. Dropping it onto a soft background with a little breathing room instantly makes it look intentional, which is why product launches, changelogs, documentation, App Store listings, and social posts almost always frame their screenshots this way. This tool does that framing in one step: choose a background, add padding and rounded corners, and the image reads as a finished piece instead of a quick capture.

Everything runs entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API. There is no upload, no server, no account, and no watermark. The file you drop in is decoded and redrawn locally on your own machine and never leaves your device, so it is safe for private screenshots, unreleased features, and client work. The PNG you download is rendered at high resolution so it stays crisp on retina displays and in slides.

You control the whole look. Pick from ready-made gradients (sunset, ocean, grape, mint, rose, dusk) or a clean solid — white, light, or dark — or turn the background off entirely for a transparent PNG. Slide the padding to give the shot more or less room, round the corners to taste, and toggle a soft drop shadow that lifts the image off the background. Set an aspect ratio like 16:9 for slides and Twitter/X, 1:1 for Instagram, or 9:16 for stories and reels, and the background fills the frame around your screenshot.

It pairs naturally with the rest of a screen-recording workflow. Trimmed a screenshot down to the part that matters, or grabbed a frame from a demo? Beautify it here for the blog post, README, or launch tweet. And when you want that produced look for a moving recording rather than a still — clean background, auto-zoom, on-screen keystrokes — that is exactly what Limelight, the macOS screen recorder this tool comes from, is built to do.
