Is this a subscription?

No. Credit packs are one-time purchases. Buy what you need; what you don't use stays in your account.

Where are my screenshots stored?

Nowhere. Uploads are passed to the model in-memory and dropped after generation. Outputs are returned to your browser only — there's no images table, no S3 bucket, no thumbnail cache.

What if a generation fails?

We retry the failing shot once automatically. If our retries and fallback can't deliver three valid images, the credit is returned to your balance — no support ticket needed.

Can I edit the text after?

Not inside ShotStudio. The headline is rendered into each image, so what you download is a finished PNG. To change the wording, generate a new set with a different pitch (one credit), or touch up the PNG in any image editor.

Three PNGs at 1290×2796, one of Apple's accepted 6.9" iPhone sizes, portrait — sRGB, no transparency, no watermark.

Do you offer refunds?

We don't refund cash, but we automatically return the credit to your balance whenever a generation can't be salvaged after our retries and fallback path. No support ticket needed.

What you get for it

What $7 actually buys in your category

One credit is one set: three polished 1290×2796 shots, one per screen you upload. What those three shots should say depends entirely on what you're shipping.

For fitness appsfitness app screenshotsFitness apps live or die on the feeling someone gets in the first three seconds. The screenshot has to imply progress — a streak, a chart climbing, a body in motion — without showing a wall of numbers nobody wants to read on a Tuesday morning. Most indie fitness screenshots fail because they over-explain the feature instead of selling the outcome. The hero shot should answer one question: what does my next workout look like if I download this?For indie gamesindie game screenshotsIndie game screenshots are a different game (sorry) from utility apps. Players are scrolling fast and scanning for energy, character, and a hook — not a feature list. The hero shot needs to communicate the genre and the vibe in 200ms. Saturated solids, oversized type, and a hint of motion read better than any in-game render at thumbnail size, especially for casual and puzzle titles where the actual gameplay is hard to summarize visually.For finance appsfinance app screenshotsFinance app screenshots have an uphill fight: the actual product is a screen full of numbers, and a screen full of numbers reads as noise in the App Store carousel. The trick is to show one number, large, with one piece of context — and let the rest of the screenshot whisper. Premium finance apps lean dark for a reason: it makes a single accent color (your brand green for gains, your charcoal for the rest) feel deliberate instead of cluttered.For VPN appsVPN app screenshotsVPN-app screenshots sell trust and simplicity at once. The buyer wants one big reassuring "Connected" state and a sense that privacy is one tap away — not a control panel of protocols and ports. The category is crowded and full of sketchy free apps, so a clean, confident, premium-feeling screenshot is itself a credibility signal. Lead with the calm of being protected, prove with one concrete capability.For running appsrunning app screenshotsRunning-app screenshots sell momentum and the open road. The hero is motion — a route on a map, a pace climbing, a runner mid-stride — that makes someone want to lace up right now. Runners are data-curious but emotion-driven; the screenshot should lead with the feeling of a good run and prove it with one clean metric, not bury the joy under splits, cadence, and heart-rate zones.For weather appsweather app screenshotsWeather-app screenshots compete in a category where the default iOS app is free and good, so the indie has to show why theirs is worth a download. The win is one beautiful, glanceable hero — today's conditions rendered as a designed object, not a data dump — plus one clear differentiator like hyperlocal precip or a stunning radar. Personality and clarity, not more numbers, are the levers.
