Full Guide on Making Screenshots Look Great ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Here is how I made this frame and numerous tips for you:

(Thread ๐Ÿงต)

First things first, you want to remove the unnecessary stuff from your screenshot

Luckily, most of the websites have a solid color as a background, so grab the shape tool of the same color and draw over elements you want to remove

Pre-compose to make things easier and create the same color background

Now you can mask out any element and move it around

Make sure to set masks to the Subtract mode on the main layer, so the element is not duplicated

Now create a null object, link everything to it, and position it nicely

Check out my Visual Composition Guide if you don't know how:

I also decided to add a thumbnail

Tip: set the anchor point to one of the corners of the image (tip: hold Ctrl to make it snap) and align that corner. Then Scale the image until it fits (tip: hold Ctrl to increase Scale by 0.1 to make it perfect)

Once you are done, create another null (because it will be centered) and link the old null to the new one

Now you can Scale the new null to add some life
