Presets are complete visual starting points. They set sensible defaults for camera, background, shadow, border, aspect ratio, and composition mode while still letting you override any individual field.

Override only what matters

Preset values are defaults. Your explicit fields win:

json
{ "url": "https://example.com", "camera_preset": "hero", "background": "fractal-glass-gradients/fractal-glass-34", "shadow": "glow", "aspect_ratio": "1:1"}

Preset selection

Start with flat

Use flat when the screenshot itself needs to be inspected, such as docs, tutorials, and help center images.

Use hero for first impressions

Use hero when the screenshot is selling the product or anchoring a landing page section.

Use detail for feature crops

Use detail when only one part of the UI matters and you want the composition to feel close.

Use cinematic sparingly

Use cinematic for launch visuals, not dense documentation where readability is the priority.

Reusable project presets

The dashboard preset builder lets you save reusable capture recipes for a project. Export the JSON and reuse it in API calls, scripts, or CI.
