How it works
Drop it in. It's framed.
No templates to pick and no canvas to line up. FrameBuddy reads the resolution of each screenshot and puts it in the matching device, so a whole set is framed the moment it lands.
1
Drop in screenshots
Drag screenshots and screen recordings onto the window, or add them with the + button. Whole sets at once.
2
FrameBuddy picks the device
Each one is matched to the device whose screen has the same resolution. Change the model, color, or rotation anytime.
3
Export or copy
Save transparent PNGs and movies to any folder with ⌘E, or copy them straight to the clipboard with ⇧⌘C.
New device
Ready for iPhone Duo
Frames for both displays: the tablet-sized inner display in portrait and landscape, and the outer display with its tighter corners on the hinge side. Screenshots from either one are matched by resolution, so you never pick the wrong half.
Features
Frame from wherever the screenshot is
Set a default device and color once. The app, Finder, Shortcuts, and the command line tool all follow it.

Mac · Terminal
Automate it from the command line
The framebuddy tool ships inside the Mac app and frames screenshots and recordings from Terminal, scripts, and CI, with the same devices and colors. FrameBuddy's Command Line Tool window gives you the one command that adds it to your PATH.
Run framebuddy devices for every device name, and
framebuddy help for all options.

Questions about FrameBuddy
Is FrameBuddy free?
Yes. FrameBuddy is free on the App Store, with no subscription, no in-app purchases, and no watermark on your exports.
When is FrameBuddy coming to iPhone and iPad?
The iPhone and iPad version is coming soon. It shares the App Store listing with the Mac app, so the same download link will work on iPhone and iPad once it is out. Leave your email on this page to hear when it is live.
Which devices does FrameBuddy have frames for?
Thirteen iPhones from iPhone 13 Pro Max to iPhone 18 Pro Max, the inner and outer displays of iPhone Duo, and seven iPads including iPad Pro M5, iPad Air M4, iPad A16, and iPad mini A17 Pro, each in the colors Apple sells it in. iPads and the iPhone Duo inner display can be framed in landscape as well as portrait.
How does FrameBuddy pick the right device?
It reads the pixel size of each screenshot and picks the newest device whose screen matches it. Cropped or scaled screenshots get the device closest in shape. You can change the device, color, and rotation of any screenshot, or set a default that Finder, Shortcuts, and the command line tool follow too.
Can FrameBuddy frame screen recordings?
Yes. Screen recordings are framed like screenshots and saved as QuickTime movies with a transparent background, so the device sits cleanly on any page or slide. Screenshots are saved as PNGs with a transparent background.
Can I frame screenshots without opening the app?
On the Mac, right-click screenshots in Finder and choose Quick Actions, then Add Device Frames, or run the framebuddy command line tool from Terminal, scripts, or CI. The Frame Screenshots action in Shortcuts does the same on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Can I upload framed screenshots to App Store Connect?
Not as they are. App Store Connect only accepts screenshots at exact pixel sizes, and a framed PNG is larger and has a transparent background. Place the framed device on a canvas at the required size, with your own background and caption, and upload that.
