SCREENSHOT PREPARATION

Keep the right screenshot version in your mockup

Use a simple version convention so an outdated interface does not slip into a launch graphic. Recheck sources after product changes.

Put it into practice

  1. Name captures with feature and capture date.
  2. Keep approved source files together.
  3. Compare the final mockup with the current product before delivery.

What this looks like

WORKED EXAMPLE

A release image references settings-v3 rather than an older settings screen with removed options.

A detail to keep clear

A polished frame can make an outdated feature claim look more authoritative.

Using MockupX

MockupX accepts pasted, dropped and uploaded images. Screen capture depends on browser support and your permission. The phone-transfer flow uses a temporary upload session. Prepare your source image before decorating it: a frame cannot recover unreadable text or remove sensitive information for you.

Check the result

Keep the original screenshot, then review the exported file at the size where people will see it. Check the message, the visible interface and the final crop separately. For a handoff, record the destination and the approved file so another person can distinguish the final version from a draft.

Use the official references for format behavior and current destination requirements. The composition advice above is a practical design approach, not a promise of platform approval.
