WHY IT MATTERS

Dressing up a product screenshot for social posts or slides by hand is tedious. Shotcandy shows the styled result the moment you paste, and every style preview uses your own image rather than a sample.

BUILD FROM THIS

  • It runs entirely in the browser, so nothing is uploaded. Screen recordings become share-ready videos too. No account, no paywall, no watermark.

WHO IT'S FOR

Marketers, designers and solo founders who share product screenshots often.

START IN 5 MINUTES

# Open shotcandy.app and paste a screenshot (⌘V on a Mac).

CAVEATS
