Logos and artwork
Besides screenshots, a project holds images: your logo or app icon, a mascot, stickers, shapes. A slide can show one as its logo and place up to ten more anywhere on the canvas.
Upload#
In the Studio, open Assets and drop the files on Logos and images. From the Mac:
appshots upload streaks logo.svg mascot.png --image
appshots upload streaks AppIcon.png --image --name app-icon
--image is what says these are not screenshots. Like a screenshot, an image has a name, and uploading under the same name replaces it on every slide.
| Formats | PNG, SVG, JPEG, WebP. Transparency is kept |
| Size | Up to 20 MB a file |
| Stored as | A PNG of at most 2048 pixels a side. An SVG is drawn once, when it is uploaded |
| How many | 30 per project |
A PNG or SVG with a transparent background works best.
A logo over the headline#
Pick it under Your logo in the slide's editor, or set logo on the slide:
{ "logo": { "image": "app-icon", "size": "medium", "shape": "app-icon" } }
size:small,mediumorlarge.shape:
| Shape | What it is |
|---|---|
plain |
The image as it is. For a wordmark or a logo with a transparent background. |
app-icon |
Cropped square with the rounded corners of an iOS icon and a soft shadow. For the app's own icon. |
circle |
Cropped round. |
The logo belongs on the first slide, not on every one.
Artwork anywhere on a slide#
In the Studio, select a slide and open Images in its fields. Click an image there to place it, then drag it in the slide's preview. Size, turn, opacity, shadow, mirroring and the layer are in the same group, with ready arrangements for several images at once.
As data, each entry of images is:
| Field | Meaning | Default |
|---|---|---|
image |
The name of an uploaded image | Required |
x |
Where its centre is, in % of the canvas width from the left. -30 to 130 | 50 |
y |
Where its centre is, in % of the canvas height from the top. -30 to 130 | 50 |
size |
Its width in % of the canvas width. 2 to 200 | 30 |
rotate |
Degrees, -180 to 180 | 0 |
layer |
front lies over the device and the copy. behind lies on the background, under both |
front |
opacity |
0.05 to 1 | 1 |
shadow |
none, soft or strong. It follows the outline of the image |
none |
flip |
Mirrored left to right | false |
Later entries lie over earlier ones.

Good to know#
- One to three images per slide is plenty. Keep them clear of the headline and of the part of the screen the slide is about.
- Positions are percentages, so the same numbers land elsewhere on the wider iPad canvas. With an iPad set, look at both.
- Use only your own artwork. A logo is a trademark. For other companies' logos, see What App Review accepts.
- Header and search results images take a logo too, but only your app's own. Apple does not allow other logos there.
