Canva is a general design tool with a huge template library, including App Store screenshot layouts. You choose a template, swap in your screens, write the text and resize for each store.
Nuvex is built for one output: you upload screens and describe the app, and the AI designs the set with headlines at the iPhone size Apple uses. Choose Canva if your brand already lives there; choose Nuvex for a store-specific set without the layout work.
- You want a set designed for your app, not a template
- You want headlines written for store screenshots
- You want the right store size from the start
- You don’t use Canva already
- Your brand kit and assets already live in Canva
- You need social posts and ads in the same tool
- You enjoy editing templates
- Your team collaborates in Canva
What Canva is
Canva is a browser and app-based design tool for social posts, presentations, print, video and much more, with a large template library that includes App Store screenshot layouts. It has its own AI features for images and text, and team plans with brand kits.
For store screenshots, it is a template editor: the layout, the device frames, the copy and the export sizes are yours to set.

Making a set in each
In Canva you search for an App Store template, replace the screenshots, rewrite the text, adjust colours to your brand and resize to each store size.
In Nuvex you describe the app; the AI plans the frames, writes each headline and paints the set at 1320 × 2868.
When Canva is the better choice
Honestly, in these cases:
Fonts, colours and assets already there are a real reason to stay.
Store screenshots plus social posts, ads and decks from one tool.
Canva’s collaboration is excellent.
Questions
Can you make App Store screenshots in Canva?
Yes, from its templates. You set the layout, text and export sizes yourself; App Store templates are a small part of a general tool.
Is Nuvex better than Canva for App Store screenshots?
For store screenshots specifically, Nuvex does more of the work: it plans the set, writes the headlines and outputs the store size. Canva is better for everything else you design.
Are Canva App Store templates unique?
No; popular templates are used by many apps. Nuvex plans each set for the app it is given.
