The Previewed alternative with a real 3D editor
Previewed is a friendly, template-driven way to make app screenshots quickly. Ecranify gives you the same fast start plus a real 3D editor — camera, rotation, lighting and shadows — for when you want more control, still free to start and pay only per export.
Previewed is popular for good reason: it is approachable, has nice templates, and gets non-designers to a decent app screenshot fast. If you want something simple and quick, it delivers.
Ecranify shares that goal — you can start from a preset and export in minutes — but adds a genuine 3D editor underneath. When a template is not quite enough, you can rotate the device, move the camera, adjust lighting and shadows, and fine-tune every element instead of being limited to what the template allows.
Below is a fair comparison: what Previewed is great at, and where Ecranify gives you more room to customize.
What Previewed is genuinely good at
- Beginner-friendly and quick — great for non-designers.
- A nice set of ready-made templates to start from.
- Clean, simple interface that does not overwhelm.
- Good for getting a decent set of screenshots done fast.
- Web-based, so there is nothing heavy to install.
Where Ecranify is different
- A real 3D editor: rotate the device freely, move the camera, and control lighting and shadows — not just fixed template angles.
- Deeper customization of text (2D and 3D), backgrounds (gradient or image), custom logos/decals and layout.
- The newest devices, including the iPhone 17 Pro Max (6.9″) and iPad Pro 13″.
- Carousel export for connected multi-frame store strips.
- A bundled free app icon generator for the App Store and Google Play.
- Free to start with a pay-per-export model and no subscription.
