Minipaper is a wallpaper maker for iPhone and iPad. Pick a style, change whatever you want, and export a custom Lock Screen or Home Screen wallpaper that fits your screen exactly. No design skills, no templates to fight with, and no two exports alike. Over 30 styles, every one of them built to be taken apart and rebuilt. STICKERS Put anything on your wallpaper. Start from the RetroTech pack or a curated set of SF Symbols, type your own with text and emoji, or drop in a photo and watch subject isolation lift it straight off the background. Drag, pinch and rotate to place, resize from the corners, then finish with a clean white border or a holographic foil. Select several at once, copy a layout from one design to another, or hit sticker-bomb and let them scatter. OBJECTS, NOT JUST GRADIENTS An iPod with a click wheel and anodized case, worn from pristine to pocket-scratched. A vinyl record. A handheld console. An AC remote, a CRT monitor, an airplane seat-back screen. The skeuomorphic styles are laid out so their screens sit exactly where your Lock Screen clock lands, and the whole phone reads as the object. GRADIENTS, GLASS AND SHAPES Aurora, Mesh Gradient, Pro Gradient and Japanese Gradient. Liquid Glass, Fluted Glass, Legacy Glass and Glass Bricks. Arch, Bento, Capsules, Plateau, Rects, Grid, Notes, Text, Tide, Topography, Mountains, Polka, Prism, Calendar and Vision OS. IPHONE AND IPAD The same app on both, laid out for each. On iPad the browse list gets a sidebar, the skeuomorphic styles keep their true proportions in the middle of the canvas instead of stretching, and the controls stay in reach. Your saved designs follow you across. MAKE IT ACTUALLY YOURS Every style opens up. Colours, layout, texture, wear, type, the lot. Nudge one setting or rebuild the thing from scratch. Save your designs and come back to them later, because a wallpaper is never quite finished. EXPORTS THAT FIT Wallpapers render at your device's full resolution and follow your device's real display corner radius, so nothing is cropped, squashed or resized to fit. Export a still or a Live Photo, save it to Photos, and set it from there. ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW New styles land regularly, along with collabs with apps and designers we like. Everything you have already made keeps working. Minipaper speaks English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and Arabic.

Appscreeny

Appscreeny is the fastest way for indie developers and app marketers to create professional App Store screenshots directly on iPhone. You pick your devices, drop in your screenshots, add text and backgrounds, and export upload-ready PNG files sized exactly to App Store Connect specs. No Figma account. No Photoshop subscription. No desktop computer required. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD Create screenshots for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch inside a single project. Start from a complete 5-screen launch template or build every screen from scratch. Add headlines, subheadlines, gradients, patterns, and stickers to any slot. Preview your work inside a realistic device bezel as you go. Export at the correct upload size as PNG or JPEG whenever you are ready. BUILT AROUND APP STORE CONNECT Appscreeny understands what Apple actually requires. Every canvas slot maps to a specific device size and orientation so you never need to guess pixel dimensions or resize anything after the fact. The 6.9 inch iPhone canvas outputs at 1320 by 2868 pixels. The iPad Pro 13 inch canvas outputs at 2064 by 2752 pixels. Every size Apple accepts is in there. Ship your screenshots the same day you finish your app. AI STUDIO Describe what you want in plain language. Something like "dark blue finance app with a bold stat on the hero" is enough to get started. AI Studio reads your prompt, generates a colour palette and gradient background, writes a headline and supporting copy, and places everything on the canvas as editable layers. You keep full control. Adjust any layer, swap the text, change the colours, or regenerate in one tap. Five generations per project on a paid plan. TEMPLATES THAT ARE READY TO SHIP Every template in Appscreeny is a complete 5-screen launch flow built around what converts in App Store search results. Hero shot, feature highlight, social proof, call to action, device showcase. Drop in your own screenshots and update the headline copy. That is genuinely all it takes for most apps. TEXT AND DESIGN CONTROLS Change fonts, weights, sizes and alignment from a dedicated panel. Apply effects including glow, neon, depth, 3D extrusion, outline, blur, highlight and shadow to any text layer. Move any layer in front of or behind any other layer in real time. Drag elements all the way to the edges for full-bleed layouts. Undo and redo as many times as you need. PRICING The first two screens in every project are free to export. Unlock full 5-screen access for a project with a single credit purchase. A 5-credit pack covers five complete projects. Paid users get AI Studio access and priority export. WHO THIS IS FOR Solo founders building their first app. Indie developers who ship without a design team. App studios that need a faster production pipeline. ASO specialists who test screenshot variants regularly. Product managers who want to own the listing without involving a contractor. Appscreeny. From build to listing in one session.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Appscreeny at weekly against Minipaper's fortnightly. Appscreeny also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
