Pika is an online screenshot beautifier and mockup generator. A user adds a screenshot and places it on a gradient, color or image background, wraps it in a browser frame or device mockup, and adjusts padding, roundness and shadow. The result can be exported for social posts, documentation, landing pages and app stores.
The product is aimed at people who publish screenshots often, such as marketers, founders, freelance designers and developers. Its website quotes users including a Head of Marketplace at Elgato and the founder of Incident.io, who describe it as a time saver.
Pika follows a three-step flow of capture, customize and save. Screenshots can be added directly, captured from a URL pasted into the editor, or taken with the Chrome extension. Once the image is in the editor, the user adds frames, changes the background, and places annotations.
Presets set the style of a screenshot quickly and can be reused across images. Exports are sized for social media and other uses. The editor runs in the browser, and images are only uploaded when a share link or saved preset is created, both of which are Pro features.
The editor covers backgrounds, browser and device frames, shadows, padding and roundness. Annotation tools include curved arrows, text backgrounds and layers, and the editor supports undo. Pika also provides dozens of mockup templates, including MacBook, iPad and Pixel devices.
Dedicated templates handle tweet images, code screenshots, App Store screenshots, testimonial images and Open Graph images. Capture tools include a website screenshot generator for full-page and mobile captures, plus a Chrome extension, a macOS app, a VS Code extension and a Raycast extension.
