If you’re an app developer, or work in design, this issue’s Tool of the Week may be of interest. Screen (from Traction) is a no-frills, no-spills free-to-use service to help you optimise the quality of your product screenshots.

When releasing an app, one thing to consider is how best to demonstrate and showcase your app to a wider audience. It’s important to show images of your app operating in the correct screen format, given the devices it works on (such as an iPhone or Android) This can be fiddly and time consuming...  Screen aims to simplify this process.

To start, click the link above and start cultivating the perfect screenshots of your app. There’s no sign-in required, simply select a template screen size from the list down the left-hand side - this includes dimensions for Android phones, several generations of iPhones, iPads, MACs, Apple Watch and Apple TV. Once your screen dimensions are selected, upload the desired image and watch Screen fit it for purpose. Once your image is in pace, select your text size/font and optionally, apply a colour background (your brand’s colours are a personal suggestion!) Once you’re happy with your creation, simply click download and bish, bash, bosh… they’re yours!

Screen was included on Product Hunt as their ‘#1 Product of the Day’ given its ease of use, free and unlimited access and originality. As mentioned earlier, this is the brainchild of Traction (Sankarsan Kampa) - a software developer who is always looking to explore the capabilities of systems and services and supplying them to the general public. We think he’s hit a sweet note with Screen. It has a sleek black design with no way of getting lost. It responds quickly to your commands, has a fixed purpose and could really help your product stand out. 

Screen is simple in its delivery, and some may find it a little limiting. But… if you need some fast app-image boosting - give Screen a go! It could really help start-ups get the attention they deserve.

Screen, you get 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼/5!
