Product screenshots for launch posts, polished for launch day

When this use case appears

You are shipping a new feature, opening a waitlist, or publishing a Product Hunt launch, and the screenshot is the main visual in the post. It has to read clearly in a feed, look consistent next to your brand assets, and export to multiple dimensions fast.

Why FramedShot helps

• Browser frames turn raw captures into polished product visuals in one step — see browser mockup generator.
• Social presets remove guesswork on dimensions across channels — see social media presets.
• Side-by-side layouts support before/after or multi-panel launch visuals — see compare screenshots.
• Local-first processing means launch visuals never upload to a third-party cloud — see local-first privacy.

Recommended workflow

1. Capture the product state that best communicates what changed.
2. Apply a browser frame and consistent background padding.
3. Pick the target platform preset (X, LinkedIn, Product Hunt gallery) before finalizing crop.
4. Export the hero image, then export channel-specific variants from the same source.

Channel-specific launch screenshots

Each launch channel rewards different composition. Feed posts on X need clarity at small sizes; LinkedIn posts benefit from cleaner spacing; Product Hunt gallery images follow a fixed 1270x760 canvas documented in the Product Hunt gallery image size guide.

Start with one master screenshot, then export channel-specific variants rather than styling each post from scratch.

Launch-day screenshot checklist

• Lead image answers one question: "What is launching?"
• Before/after panels use the same frame and padding so the change is the only variable.
• Hero export is readable at mobile feed size, not just on desktop.
• Any sensitive identifiers are redacted before export — see the redaction guide.
