MagicScreenshots vs Figma

Questions
Can I skip Figma for App Store screenshots?
Yes, if you already have screenshots. MagicScreenshots restyles and localizes those screens at App Store size. Figma is still the right tool for original marketing art.
How long does Figma take per language?
Teams who typeset each locale by hand typically spend 2–4 hours per language for a 5-screen set. AI localization is built to cut that to minutes.
Will MagicScreenshots match a custom Figma file?
No. It starts from your real app screens, not from a Figma template. Use Figma when the listing is original art.
