Introduction

Create App Store screenshots that stand out

Mocksy is a mockup and screenshot tool for iPhone and iPad. Build projects with multiple screens, add text, device frames, photos, and shapes, style backgrounds with solid or gradient fills, and export as PNG or JPEG to a folder or straight to App Store Connect.

Start from an empty canvas or a default 8-screen template. Each screen can have its own background and layers: text (with font, size, weight, shadow, and glow), device frames with imported screenshots, photos, and shapes. Reorder screens and layers, duplicate screens, or copy a screen’s style to others. Use spanning groups to let text or design flow across multiple screens.

Export all screens or a selection to your device, manage the export folder, or upload directly to App Store Connect using an API key. Optional iCloud sync keeps projects available across your devices. Translate all text layers to another language in one go, and customize the app with themes and appearance settings.

Feature guide

Complete feature overview

Projects

  • Create a new project: choose an empty canvas or the default 8-screen template with title, subtitle, and one device per screen.
  • Open or import a project file; use recent projects for quick access.
  • Project library shows local and iCloud projects; sort by name or last modified; import, download, edit, or delete.
  • Export or share a project file to back up or move to another device.
  • Import screenshots as new screens, with or without a default title on each.
  • Rename and save the current project.

Canvas & screens

  • Canvas presets: iPhone 6.9" and iPad 13" (App Store–ready sizes).
  • Add, duplicate, or delete screens; reorder with Order Screens.
  • Copy a screen’s style to all others, or copy its background to other screens.
  • Copy a screen to iPad screens or to iPhone screens when you use both formats.

Layers

  • Text: Content, font, size, weight, color, alignment, shadow, outer glow, opacity; optional “span across screens” so text flows over multiple screens.
  • Device: Device frame with optional screenshot; import a screenshot, choose template, fit (Aspect Fit, Aspect Fill, Zoom), and offset X/Y.
  • Photo: Import an image; set fit, dimensions, zoom, and offsets.
  • Shape: Rectangle or ellipse; fill color, optional stroke (color and width).
  • Add layers via menu or context menu; copy, paste, cut; reorder with Order Layers; move forward or backward.

Background

  • Solid color or linear/radial gradient; up to four gradient stops, blend mode, and position (e.g. center X/Y, radius for radial).
  • Set per screen; copy background from one screen to others.

Spanning

  • Spanning groups let text or design run across multiple screens (e.g. a headline across three screens).
  • Add a spanning bezel; set start and end screen; use Edit Spanning mode to work on the strip.
  • Convert selected layers into a spanning group.

Inspector

  • Canvas preset, export format (PNG/JPEG), JPEG quality, output name, and Export button.
  • Edit the selected layer’s properties: transform, content, typography, effects, and layout.

Export

  • Export scope: all screens or selected screens (by device type).
  • Export to folder: PNG or JPEG, configurable quality and output name.
  • View export folder and delete exported images when needed.
  • Generate and share a project file to back up or move the project to another device.

Upload to App Store Connect

  • Enter App Store Connect API credentials: Issuer ID, Key ID, and .p8 private key file.
  • Load apps and versions; select app, version, and locales; run preflight; upload screenshots.
  • Save and manage credential presets in Keychain (save, rename, delete).
  • In-app ASC setup tutorial explains how to create the API key and use it in Mocksy.

User guide

Step-by-step guide to Mocksy

Getting started

Open Mocksy and create a new project. Enter a name, choose the Empty or Default template (8 screens with title, subtitle, and device), and pick a default font. You can open an existing project from the library (local or iCloud) or import a project file. Use “Import screenshots as new screens” to add screens from photos (with or without a default title).

Editor and canvas

The editor shows your screens in a strip or grid. Select a screen to edit it. Use zoom and full-screen if available. The canvas size matches your preset (e.g. iPhone 6.9" or iPad 13").

Managing screens

Add a new screen, duplicate the current one, or delete it. Use “Order Screens” to drag screens into the desired order. Use “Copy style to all” or “Use this background on other screens” to keep design consistent. For mixed iPhone/iPad projects, use “Copy to iPhone screens” or “Copy to iPad screens” as needed.

Managing layers

Add a layer: Text, Device, Photo, or Shape (from the layer menu or canvas context menu). Select a layer on the canvas to edit it in the Inspector. Use “Order Layers” to reorder; long-press to reorder, swipe to delete. Cut, copy, and paste layers; move selected layer forward or backward.

Device layer

Add a device layer to show an iPhone or iPad frame. Import a screenshot from your photo library to place inside the frame. In the Inspector, choose the device template, screenshot fit (Aspect Fit, Aspect Fill, Zoom), and offset X/Y to position the screenshot.

Text layer

Edit content, font, size, weight, color, and alignment. Add shadow or outer glow (distance, size, diffusion, direction, color). Adjust opacity and z-index. Enable “Span across screens” to let the text run across multiple screens; use spanning groups for full control over start/end.

Spanning

Create a spanning group (or convert selected layers to spanning). Add a spanning bezel if needed. Switch to “Edit Spanning” mode to work on the strip. Set the start and end screen for the group in the Inspector.

Background

With no layer selected, the Inspector shows the background. Choose solid or gradient (linear/radial), set colors and stops, blend, and position (e.g. center X/Y, radius).

Export

In Export, choose “All screens” or “Selected screens” and pick which screens to include. Set format (PNG/JPEG), JPEG quality, and output name. Tap “Export screens” to save to the export folder. Open “Export folder” to view or delete exported images.

App Store Connect

In Export, open “Upload to App Store Connect.” Enter Issuer ID and Key ID, then import the .p8 file. Tap “Load apps,” select your app and version, then select at least one locale. Use the in-app tutorial for detailed steps. Run preflight to check counts, then upload. You can save credentials as a preset for next time.

Project file

Generate a project file from Export to back up or share the project. On another device, use the project library to import the file (and any referenced media).

Settings

Change appearance (system/light/dark), theme (Studio Dark, Dawn, Forest, Ocean), text size, and app language. Enable “Sync projects via iCloud” to keep projects in iCloud; disable to store locally only. Check sync status and any error message in Settings.

Tips & tricks

Use Mocksy more effectively

The default template gives you eight screens with title, subtitle, and device placeholders. Replace the copy and import screenshots into each device layer to build a full App Store set fast.
