How to add a background to a screenshot
- Open your screenshot. Drop it on the page, paste it, or choose a file.
- Pick a background. A gradient, an abstract pattern, a solid color, your own image, or a blurred copy of the screenshot.
- Tune it and save. Set the padding, rounded corners and shadow, pick a size, then download a PNG, JPEG or WebP, or copy it.
