Add a background to any screenshot

A good background separates a screenshot from the feed around it and gives labels, shadows and device frames room to breathe. ShotGenio lets you place a screenshot on a gradient, photo, wallpaper, wall texture or motion loop, then adjust the spacing and export size in your browser.
