Split Screen Styles

Split Screen App Screenshot Examples

Split-screen screenshots divide the frame into two or more panels to show comparisons, multiple features, or before-and-after transformations. This layout is highly effective for demonstrating app value by showing the contrast between problems and solutions.

Design Tips

1

Make the contrast dramatic

The before/after difference should be immediately obvious, even at thumbnail size in the App Store.

2

Label your panels

Add small "Before" / "After" or "Without" / "With" labels so the comparison is instantly understood.

3

Use consistent framing

Both panels should show the same content or angle, only the applied effect should change.

4

Try diagonal splits

Angled dividers are more visually dynamic than straight vertical or horizontal lines.
