Wrap your recording in a realistic iPhone or iPad device frame. Choose from 3D mockups with perspective, shadows, and custom background colors.

Smooth Capture includes all the export options you need to produce App Store-compliant preview videos. Here is what is available.
Apple requires specific resolutions for each device size. iPhone 6.7-inch previews must be 1290x2796 pixels, iPhone 6.1-inch previews must be 1179x2556 pixels, and iPad 12.9-inch previews must be 2048x2732 pixels.

App Store preview videos must use the H.264 codec and be saved as .mov or .mp4 files. The frame rate must be 30 fps and the duration must be between 15 and 30 seconds. Smooth Capture lets you export with these exact settings using built-in presets.
App Store preview videos must be between 15 and 30 seconds long. Apple will reject videos that fall outside this range. Smooth Capture includes a timeline editor that makes it easy to trim your recording to the correct duration before exporting.
Yes. Smooth Capture includes 3D device frames for iPhone and iPad models. You can wrap your screen recording in a realistic device mockup with perspective, shadows, and custom background colors before exporting your App Store preview.
