What do we think of Figma?

Editorial review · Figma4
Figma is the gold standard for collaborative interface design and remains a strong choice for teams that produce App Store screenshots as part of a broader visual system. The plugin ecosystem and component model give designers near-limitless control. The weakness for App-Store-specific work is operational: rendering all device sizes and locales requires manual exports or third-party plugins, and there is no built-in path from Figma to Fastlane or App Store Connect. For teams that want screenshots to live in their release pipeline rather than their design pipeline, a purpose-built tool is a better fit.

Which one is best for which kind of team?

Screenshots.live

Teams that want automated screenshot generation integrated into CI/CD without manual export steps.
