About
Shotcandy turns a plain screenshot into a styled, share-ready image or video in seconds, running entirely in the browser so nothing is uploaded and no account is required. It is free and open source under the MIT license.
At a glance
ShotCandy styles screenshots and recordings with frames, backgrounds and mockups in the browser. It is worth trying if you repeatedly prepare product images and want a consistent look without building each layout from scratch.
Good fit
People preparing release notes, demos, app listings or a batch of screenshots for a launch.
Consider something else when
Use a fuller editor when you need detailed retouching or precise control over every layer.
Start here
Open one synthetic screenshot and compare a simple frame with a multi-screen mockup. Check text legibility at the final display size before styling a whole set.
Cost and requirements
Free and MIT-licensed. The hosted editor is documented as requiring a browser and no account.
Limits to know
The project describes the site as static with browser-side image processing. That is the documented design. Use a sample image first if the screenshots you normally work with contain private data.

Why it made the leaderboard
Turns plain screenshots into share-ready images for READMEs and marketing without uploading anything to a server, for free and under an open license.
