Screenshot mockups without Figma

Figma is a design tool. Snipfolio is a screenshot mockup tool. If all you need is to crop a screenshot, put it in a device frame, and export it, Snipfolio does that without templates, plugins, or design knowledge.

The problem with using Figma for mockups

Templates get out of sync

Every time a device frame or screen ratio changes, you have to update your Figma template files.

Too much tool for the job

Figma is a full design tool. If all you need is to frame a screenshot, most of its features are in the way.

Requires design knowledge

Artboards, layers, auto-layout, export settings. If you are not a designer, the learning curve slows you down.

How Snipfolio works instead

Step 1

Drop in a screenshot

Drag a PNG or JPEG into Snipfolio. No artboard setup, no import dialog.

Step 2

Crop to the region you want

Draw a box over the UI you want to show. Snipfolio snaps to device frame ratios so proportions match.

Step 3

Frame and export

Pick a device frame (laptop, phone, browser), choose a background, add a caption if needed, and export as PNG.

Questions

Is Snipfolio trying to replace Figma?
No. Figma is a general-purpose design tool. Snipfolio does one thing: turn screenshots into mockups. If you already have a Figma workflow for this and you are happy with it, keep using it. Snipfolio is for people who don't want to maintain templates or learn a design tool for this task.
Can Snipfolio do everything Figma does?
No. Snipfolio only does screenshot mockups. It does not have vector editing, prototyping, collaboration features, or component libraries. It is a focused tool for one specific job.
What if I already have Figma templates?
If your Figma templates work well for you, there is no reason to switch. Snipfolio is faster if you find yourself spending too long maintaining template files or setting up artboards just to frame a screenshot.
Is this free?
The core snipping and mockup workflow is free. Exports have a small watermark on the free tier. A 3-day pass ($4.99, one-time) removes watermarks and unlocks all features.
