CHOOSING YOUR TOOLS
Brayer or Shots for your next launch graphic?
Start with the output you need. Brayer combines editable compositions, reusable local projects and short keyframed videos. Shots combines screenshot mockups with video and animation tools. Compare the export limits and editing controls your launch needs.

Try the same source image
Our example uses the fictional Folio website: a wide screenshot with a strong headline and three content cards. In Brayer, open the website mockup scene, replace the artwork, adjust the visible browser address and background, then export one PNG. The composition stays editable for the next release.
For a fair comparison, bring the same source image into Shots, choose a browser or screenshot frame, and aim for the same final canvas dimensions. Compare legibility, crop control and the effort needed for your second version. The example pictured here was exported from Brayer; it is not a Shots output or a speed benchmark.
Choose according to the deliverable
Brayer offers product turns, composition pushes, text entrances and screen scrolls with editable keyframes. Pro exports opaque MP4 or WebM up to 1080p for 1 to 30 seconds at 24 or 30 fps, with no audio, and App Store app previews at Apple's exact sizes. Shots documents video zooms and animation presets too; compare a real export rather than assuming the tools have identical scope.
Brayer is a useful fit when you want to combine screenshots, editable text, shapes, several pages and flat stationery in one project. The studio itself needs no account: local saving and portable backups are included in Free. An account is needed for Pro, optional sync and Connect AI, which takes a free one.
