Problem

The founder used to share their UI and design work online for different websites. This was a routine process where they would take screenshots of their work and apply the same modifications every time on Figma.

They created the initial version of this app as a way to automate this. It was free to use and open-source.

Eventually, they received feature requests from a company who were willing to pay for them.

The app now has more features beyond just beautifying screenshots including:

  • API to programmatically beautify screenshots
  • Tools to create customisable mockups and images
  • Creating beautiful code screenshots
  • Creating beautiful social media posts (e.g. tweets)
