The short version

In Figma, a designer builds every frame: device frames from community files, typography, layout, copy and export sizes. The result can be anything, and it takes skill and hours.

Nuvex generates a designed set from your screens in minutes, following rules drawn from professional sets. Choose Figma if you have design skill or strict brand rules; choose Nuvex when you need a strong set without that time.

Choose Nuvex if
  • Nobody on the team designs
  • You need a set today, not next week
  • You want headlines written for you
  • You want to try directions quickly
Choose Figma if
  • You have a designer
  • You must match a detailed brand system exactly
  • You want components and pixel control
  • You build sets for many devices from one file

What Figma is

Figma is a professional interface design tool. For store screenshots it offers exact control over every element, components and variables, real-time collaboration and community files with device frames and screenshot templates. It is what most agency and in-house designers use.

Everything is manual: the design decisions, the copy and the exports.

Making a set in each

In Figma a designer sets up frames per size, places device mockups, designs a style, writes copy, builds five or more frames and exports each size. Hours to days.

In Nuvex the AI plans the set, writes the copy and paints the frames in minutes. Designers sometimes use it to explore directions, then refine in Figma.

When Figma is the better choice

Honestly, in these cases:

You have design skill

Nothing beats a good designer in Figma.

Brand rules are strict

If frames must match a brand book exactly, design them by hand.

You need every device

iPad, Android and landscape sets from one source file.

Questions

Is it worth designing App Store screenshots in Figma?

If you have the skill or a designer, yes; you get total control. If not, an AI tool gets you a designed set far faster.

Can I edit Nuvex screenshots in Figma?

Nuvex exports finished images, so you can place them in Figma, but the layers are not editable there. Use Nuvex’s plain-word edits to change a frame.

Do designers use AI screenshot tools?

Some use them to explore directions quickly before building the final set by hand.
