For AI apps
App Store screenshots for ai apps
AI-app screenshots have a unique problem: the magic happens in a model the user can't see, so the screenshot has to show the before and the after. The winning shots prove a transformation — a prompt and its result, a messy input and a clean output — instead of bragging "AI-powered" in the headline. Buyers have been burned by AI vaporware; the screenshot has to demonstrate, not promise.
What converts
What works for AI apps
A visible input-to-output transformation — show the prompt and the result in one frame.
A specific, believable result, not a hand-wavy "AI does everything" collage.
Headline copy that says what the AI does ("Turn voice notes into clean docs"), never just "AI-powered".
"AI-powered" or "GPT-4" in the headline with no demonstration of the actual output.
Glowing-orb / neural-network stock graphics — the universal signal of an AI app with nothing to show.
An empty chat box as the hero — proves nothing about what the model can do.

FAQ
AI apps screenshot questions
Should AI-app screenshots show the actual model output?
Yes — a real, plausible output is your single strongest asset. Show a believable transformation. Apple has rejected AI listings whose screenshots imply capabilities the app doesn't actually deliver, so keep the output honest.
How do I avoid looking like generic AI vaporware?
Show one specific transformation instead of claiming broad intelligence. "Voice memo in, structured doc out" beats "powered by advanced AI" every time. Concrete beats impressive.
Why Bold for AI apps?
Because AI is a crowded, noisy category and you need oversized headlines and a confident verb to cut through. Bold gives you display type and punchy copy. The palette comes from your uploads, so the marketing matches your actual app, not a stock neural-net aesthetic.
