ScreenshotPunch vs Previewed
ScreenshotPunch is built for the images that actually sell an App Store listing: art-directed static screenshots with AI editorial backgrounds by category, headlines written per locale, elements that break the frame, and export with no alpha channel by construction. Previewed is a 3D-and-video mockup studio — rotating device renders, panoramic multi-device layouts and animated clips. They're often complements: use ScreenshotPunch for the screenshots your ranking depends on, and reach for Previewed only when you specifically need motion or a 3D hero shot.

Why ScreenshotPunch is the better buy
Art-directed screenshots that are store-ready without cleanup
- Editorial art direction. AI photographic backgrounds by category, real typographic hierarchy, and elements that break the frame — a composed, "agency" look rather than a device sitting on a scene.
- Headlines written for you, per locale. Claude drafts the eyebrow and headline for each shot in each language over one layout; Previewed leaves the copy and its translation to you.
- Compliance by construction. Exact 1320×2868, PNG color type 2 (no alpha), foldered per locale in alphabetical order — the
IMAGE_ALPHA_NOT_ALLOWEDrejection can't occur. - Full-res and yours. No attribution strings — Previewed's free tier is 720p under a CC-attribution license; ScreenshotPunch's paid exports are full resolution with no credit line.
What Previewed does that ScreenshotPunch doesn't
- 3D device renders and panoramic multi-device layouts.
- Animated App Preview-style video (30fps on Plus, 60fps on Pro) — ScreenshotPunch outputs still images only.
- A free Lite tier and a $9.99 one-time Plus, if budget is the hard constraint.
Reach for Previewed when a listing genuinely needs motion or a 3D hero clip. For the static screenshots buyers actually scroll and rank, ScreenshotPunch is the one to build the set in — and plenty of teams use both.
Verdict by buyer type
ScreenshotPunch. That's most apps. The composed, art-directed look plus a no-alpha, correctly-sized export that passes review clean is the whole pitch — the images buyers actually rank on.
ScreenshotPunch. AI backgrounds, generated headlines and break-the-frame composition do the art direction for you.
ScreenshotPunch. Per-locale headline generation over one layout is the time-saver here.
Previewed. The narrow case: motion and 3D are what it's for, and its free Lite / $9.99 Plus is cheaper than any ongoing plan if budget is the constraint.
The two aren't mutually exclusive: many teams build the localized still set in ScreenshotPunch and add a Previewed 3D/video hero on top.
See it on your own app
The screenshots are what most buyers judge first — so start there. Render your own app in ScreenshotPunch's ten styles in the free demo (no signup, nothing leaves your browser) and see the art-directed set in about a minute. Add a Previewed 3D or video hero later if your listing calls for motion. Either way, verify the final export before submitting.
