Apple - How do I take an iPad screenshot that includes a picture of the iPad border around it?

Thanks, for mentioning my app, AutoScreenshot 3D!

I created it for myself, as well as other developers, who want to superimpose their screenshot onto an actual image of an iOS device, and have it displayed at an angle, with mirror effect. Makes a nice screenshot for iTunes or web or print!

The PRO version, for $0.99, lets you provide your own background image. By default, it ships with an iPhone 4. You can also download images that you can use for free, from http://www.AutoScreenshot.com. We will add iPad images in the future, but you can google for an acceptable one.

A free version is awaiting Apple's approval and it only uses the default background.


A lot of the times those screenshots are taken on a computer from the iPhone or iPad simulator on the developer's Mac. It's included in the SDK if you have that it's free to download just not the development version of the iOS 5 SDK. Other than that take one of those images or an image of an iPad off the internet and then photoshop your screenshot into it and it should look pretty good.


There is also a free browser app for adding a frame around the screenshot: FrameApp. It works like this: you upload your screenshot, select the desired frame (iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire, Google Galaxy - horizontal or vertical) and size, and then save your png. The best part is that the png has rounded corners, so that you can use it with any background. The tool is HTML5-based, so it works only in the browsers which support this (Firefox, Chrome & Opera).
