What is Beautify screenshot?

A plain screenshot often looks dull in a presentation, a post or a product website. This tool places it on a nice background, adds a shadow and rounded corners and, if you like, a window frame like a Mac's.

In a few seconds you have a professional-looking image, ready to share on social media or use in your slides, in whichever aspect ratio fits best.

How to use it

1. Drag in your screenshot or paste it directly with Ctrl+V.
2. Choose a background: gradient, solid color or none.
3. Turn on the macOS frame and choose a light or dark theme.
4. Adjust the padding, corners, shadow and aspect ratio.
5. Click “Create PNG” and download the image.

Advantages

• Twelve ready-to-use gradients with a customizable angle.
• macOS-style window frame in light or dark.
• Social media ratios: 16:9, 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16.
• Export at double resolution for Retina displays.

Technical details

The composition is drawn on a canvas and always exported as PNG, which allows a transparent background when you choose “None”. The background can be one of 12 preset linear gradients (Sky, Ocean, Sunset, Lavender, Mint, Peach, Aurora, Strawberry, Night, Graphite, Mist and Grape) with an angle from 0° to 360°, two custom colors or a solid color. Padding is measured in thousandths of the window's longer side (0 to 250), the corner radius ranges from 0 to 50 and the shadow from 0% to 100%. The aspect ratio can be automatic or fixed (16:9, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16) and the resolution 1× or 2×. Accepts screenshots up to 40 MB in any common image format.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a screenshot look nicer?

Give it a gradient background, a little padding, rounded corners and a shadow. With the macOS frame it will look like a real window.

Which aspect ratio should I use for social media?

16:9 for X, LinkedIn or presentations, 1:1 or 4:5 for Instagram posts and 9:16 for Stories.

Can I export with a transparent background?

Yes. Choose “None” as the background and the PNG will keep the transparency around the window.

What is the 2× option for?

It doubles the resolution of the final image so it looks sharp on high-density screens and on networks that recompress images.
