The problem nobody wants to do

A developer built Shotyend, an AI-powered tool that localizes app store screenshots into 70+ languages while preserving layout, fonts, and icons. The tool automates the tedious process of translating and resizing store images for multiple platforms and device sizes, and includes a free store listing analyzer. The developer reports that a scan of Play apps found widespread issues like English-only listings and missing feature graphics.

You ship an app. The store listing needs screenshots. Then someone asks: "can we localize it for Germany, Japan, Brazil, Saudi Arabia?" Now you're not shipping — you're in a design tool, copying the same layout 20 times, fixing text that overflows in German, flipping the whole thing for Arabic, and re-exporting for 6 different device sizes. Per language. Every update. I did this manually for my own app. Once. Then I built a tool so I'd never do it again. What Shotyend does Upload one screenshot. The AI redraws the UI text inside the image into the target language — layout, fonts and icons stay intact, brand names and numbers untouched. Then it renders every store size and hands you one validated ZIP. 70+ languages, including RTL Arabic, Hebrew and CJK with correct fonts and text direction Every store size in one job: Play phone 1080×1920, 7" 1512×2688, 10" tablet 1620×2880; App Store iPhone 6.9" 1320×2868, 6.5" 1284×2778, iPad 13" 2064×2752 1024×500 Play feature graphic, auto-translated per language Store-Ready validation: every file checked against Play & App Store rules, fixed if needed Marketing captions above/below the phone frame — also translated One-click store upload: push straight to Play service account or App Store Connect API key . Credentials are used in the moment and never written to disk Localization, not word-for-word translation Translating "Get 50% off" is easy. Getting the tone, the currency and the date format right for that market is the part that actually converts. The AI handles per-market tone and formats instead of doing a dictionary swap — and there's a QC pass that catches text overflow and misalignment before you ever see the file Free thing you can use right now, no signup There's a store listing analyzer on the homepage. Paste a package name, get a score with concrete findings. I ran it across a large pool of Play apps and the pattern is depressingly consistent: English-only listings, missing feature graphics, and the first two screenshots never say what the app actually does. It's free and needs no account. Check your own app — it takes 30 seconds and it will probably annoy you. Pricing, briefly No subscription. One-time credits that never expire. Cost is image × language × platform, based on the model you pick. 10 free credits on signup, no credit card. If a job fails on our side, credits are automatically refunded — you don't pay for my bugs. Launch week: 25% off your first month. Stack, for the curious FastAPI + MongoDB on the backend, React on the front, Cloudflare R2 for storage, and a render pipeline that composites the localized text back into device frames at store dimensions. The hard part wasn't translation — it was making text fit a fixed layout in a language that's 40% longer, and doing it without the result looking auto-generated.
