AppShot AI— AI-powered App Store & Play Store Screenshot Generator (SaaS + Self-Hosted)

AppShot AI is an AI-powered App Store and Google Play screenshot maker built with Laravel and React. Describe your app and let AI generate a complete, on-brand set of store screenshots – headlines, backgrounds, colors, and layout – then fine-tune everything in a fast, visual editor. Export pixel-perfect screenshots for iPhone, iPad, Android phone and tablet – portrait and landscape – plus the Play Store feature graphic, in as many languages as you need (left-to-right and right-to-left), organized into a clean ZIP ready to upload.

It ships in two modes from a single codebase: a multi-tenant SaaS (with Stripe, Razorpay and PayPal billing, plans, AI token quotas, and a full admin dashboard) and a single-tenant self-hosted install that runs on shared hosting with zero SSH access. Plug in your own AI provider key, set per-plan token limits, and you’re running your own AI screenshot SaaS. No Node.js, Redis, or headless browser required on the server – a guided web installer does the rest.

Full feature list

AI screenshot generation

• Generate a complete, on-brand screenshot set from a short description of your app — AI writes the headlines and builds backgrounds, color palette, and layout
• Two modes: start a brand-new project from a template kit, or drop AI-generated designs onto your existing screens
• Upload your app screenshots and logo; the AI composes them into finished store artwork across the device sizes you pick
• Everything lands as normal, fully editable layers — tweak any text, color, or position in the visual editor afterwards
• Bring your own AI provider key — set it once in the admin panel; nothing is hard-coded
• Per-plan AI token quotas (SaaS mode) with a shared workspace pool the owner funds
• Owners can allocate a monthly AI token budget per teammate, right from the members screen and at invite time
• Live usage meter on the account page with upgrade prompts as quota runs low

Screenshot editor

• Fast canvas workspace with pan, zoom, and grid
• Patch-based undo / redo
• Six layer types: text, background, shape, image, device frame, and callout, plus layer groups
• Capability-driven properties panel — only the controls relevant to the selected layer

• Procedural-bezel fallback for any device
• Real-frame tilt up to ±15° per axis, with automatic downgrade to procedural beyond the cap
• Drop a raw screenshot into a frame and reposition / fit it inside the screen area

Multi-device

• 10 form factors: iPhone, iPad, Android phone, and Android tablet — each in portrait and landscape — plus the Play Store feature graphic (1024×500 marketing banner)
• Design every factor explicitly, or stamp from one factor to the rest in a single action
• Per-property linking — shared content and styling stay in sync across factors via a shared layer id
• Frame device family linking — pick an iPhone frame and the iPad / Android factors swap to matching devices
• Percent-based anchors and safe-area insets so layouts hold up across sizes

Localization & RTL

• Author screenshots in multiple languages per project, with a default-language fallback

• Per-language screenshots — swap the image inside a device frame for each locale
• Full right-to-left (RTL) support for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu, with direction-aware canvas rendering

• Language-aware font stacks (Latin, CJK, Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, and more)
• Export organized per language — pick which locales to include in the ZIP
• Language picker in the editor and at project creation

Export

• Client-side ZIP export via the browser — no server render queue, no waiting
• Exports at the exact pixel dimensions Apple and Google require for each device tier
• Clean folder structure per device, language, and form factor
• Optional compression toggle — typically about 70% smaller with no visible quality loss
• Direct browser download

Project templates (kits)

• Each kit scaffolds every screen across the device sizes you choose
• Author your own kits in the editor and export them as installable ZIPs

• Premium kits can be gated to paid plans (SaaS mode)

SaaS billing (SaaS mode)

• Refunds (full and partial) from the admin panel
• Provider-managed tax (Stripe Tax / Razorpay GST / PayPal)

• WYSIWYG editing for headlines and body copy
• Landing-mode toggle: show the bundled marketing site, redirect to your own, or send visitors straight to login
• Per-page publish toggle and SEO overrides
• SEO: title templates, canonical URLs, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, Organization / FAQ / Product JSON-LD, and server-side pre-render so crawlers and link scrapers see real content
• Appearance editor — colors, fonts, corner radius, and density apply across the whole app and marketing site
• Logo, favicon, and brand controls

Storage

Team & collaboration

• Four roles: Owner, Admin, Editor, and read-only Viewer (viewers can still export)

• Self-hosted: a shared team pool with admin-invited members and the same Admin / Editor / Viewer roles
• Pessimistic edit lock — one editor per project at a time with instant take-over, so teammates never overwrite each other; works on any hosting (no websockets)

• In-app notifications (bell) plus emails for project shares, invites, and role changes

Privacy & GDPR

• Cookie consent banner shown to new visitors; links to your editable /privacy page

• One codebase, switched at install time

Built for shared hosting
