Raw screenshot in. Polished post out. Skimra takes the screenshot or screen recording you already have and makes it worth posting: a real device frame, a background that carries it, your branding, and the exact shape the feed wants. Everything renders on your device, and you never need an account. WHAT IT DOES Frame it. Drop your capture into a true to life frame: iPhone, MacBook, or a browser window. Put several on one canvas to show a hand-off or a multi-screen flow. Or use no frame at all, and let the shot speak. Stage it. Choose a background that carries the work. Solid colours, gradients, mesh gradients, or your own photo or video. Or pick a living one: plasma, light leaks, particles, starfield, snowfall, embers, fireflies, silk ribbons, ripples. Then tune blur, grain and shadow until it sits right. Move the eye. On a screen recording, place zoom and pan keyframes to lead attention exactly where you want it. Cinematic motion, without opening a video editor. Make it yours. Add a logo or a text wordmark, and set its size, position, opacity and shadow. Fit the feed. One tap for square, portrait, story and reel, landscape, thumbnail and App Store shapes. Export clean. High resolution PNG for stills, MP4 for video, then share straight from the app. WHO IT IS FOR Developers showing a feature in an honest mockup rather than a bare rectangle. Product and marketing people turning a demo into a post. Creators making thumbnails and clips that survive a scroll. Designers who need a client ready asset in the next ten minutes. PRICING Skimra is free, and exports are unlimited. Free exports carry a small "Made with Skimra" mark in the corner. Unlock once to remove it and export clean forever. It is a one time purchase. It is not a subscription, it does not expire, and it will not quietly become one later. Signing in is optional, and carries your unlock across the devices you use. PRIVACY Your images and recordings are processed on your device. No backend touches your content, and the app works without an account. Signing in is optional, and the only thing it does is sync your one time unlock. Put your screenshots in their best light.

Framely turns plain screenshots into polished, share-ready mockups, right on your iPhone. Wrap a screenshot or screen recording in a realistic device frame, spin it in 3D, or place it on a real device inside your own photo. Export in seconds. No account, nothing to learn. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Three modes, one editor - Video, 3D and Scene, with the same text, drawing and layout tools • Scene - drop your app onto any screen in a real photo. Framely finds the screen and matches perspective, color, blur and grain. Fine-tune every corner, mask what covers the screen, fill several screens at once • 3D mockups - stand your screenshot on a real 3D device, pick a template or pose, and set camera keyframes to export the move as a video • Device frames - iPhone, iPad, Mac, Studio Display and Apple Watch, in real finish colors, portrait or landscape • Video - trim, cut parts out, add your own music with fade in and out, or save any frame as a still • Backgrounds - solid colors, gradients, built-in wallpapers, or your own photo with blur • Layout, status bar, text and drawing - aspect ratio, alignment, zoom, shadow, a clean 9:41 bar, captions and arrows • Share extension - send a screenshot or recording from Photos or any app straight into Framely WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU EXPORT One renderer drives both the live canvas and the final file, so the export matches the preview exactly — no surprises, no cropped shadows. MADE FOR iOS 26 Framely is built with SwiftUI and the new Liquid Glass design, top to bottom. GREAT FOR App Store screenshots, product launches, portfolios, client presentations, social posts and release notes. EXPORTS AND GEMS Framely starts you with 10 free gems. Exporting an image costs 1 gem, exporting a video costs 3. Gems never expire, and you can top up any time with a gem pack. Framely Pro removes the cost entirely — unlimited image and video exports.
