Question 1

What size does a Framer marketplace thumbnail need to be?

Accepted Answer

Framer 3.0 template previews are 1200x900 pixels. PreviewKit includes that as a built-in export preset, so you can size your video correctly before you export rather than discovering the problem after a rejected submission.

Question 2

Do I need to install anything to use PreviewKit?

Accepted Answer

No. PreviewKit runs entirely in your browser on any modern desktop. There is nothing to download, no licence key, and no macOS requirement - which is the main difference between PreviewKit and desktop apps like Rotato or Screen Studio.

Question 3

Can I use PreviewKit on Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PreviewKit runs in the browser, so it works the same on Windows, macOS and Linux. Most tools in this category are macOS-only desktop apps, so Windows users usually have no equivalent option.

Question 4

What video formats can I upload?

Accepted Answer

Screen recordings in MP4, MOV and WebM. Footage from QuickTime, OBS, your operating system built-in recorder, or a browser screen-capture extension will all work.

Question 5

What can I export?

Accepted Answer

MP4 video for landing pages, social posts and marketplace submissions, plus PNG stills for thumbnails, documentation and social cards. You can grab a snapshot of any frame from the timeline.

Question 6

What export sizes does PreviewKit support?

Accepted Answer

Framer 3.0 at 1200x900, X at 1600x900, Square at 1080x1080, Instagram at 1080x1350, Pinterest at 1000x1500, and any custom dimensions you enter. Each preset matches what the platform actually requires, so the export is submission-ready.

Question 7

Can I use my own background image?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Several scenes place the device over a background you supply, so you can upload your own image. You can also use a solid colour, a gradient, or pick from the built-in preset library.

Question 8

What device mockups can I choose from?

Accepted Answer

MacBook, iMac and tablet scenes, staged on surfaces like glass, stone, concrete and wood. Some scenes are free and some are Pro, and you can preview every scene before deciding whether to upgrade.

Question 9

Can I add a browser frame to my recording?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Web app footage can be wrapped in a clean browser window so it reads as a real product rather than a cropped rectangle.

Question 10

Can I add text to my mockup video?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add text over the scene, which is useful for a headline on a marketplace preview or a caption on a social post.

Question 11

How is PreviewKit different from Rotato or Screen Studio?

Accepted Answer

Rotato and Screen Studio are macOS applications with deep editing timelines, and they are very good at that. PreviewKit runs in your browser with nothing to install, and focuses on getting you one export-ready video quickly at the exact dimensions the platform you are submitting to requires. If you need frame-level motion editing, those tools do more. If you need a finished product video in a few minutes, PreviewKit is faster.

Question 12

Does PreviewKit work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

The editor is built for larger screens, so open PreviewKit on a laptop or desktop for the full experience.

Question 13

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free plan includes unlimited PNG and JPG stills and two clean MP4 exports, with no watermark on either. Pro removes the video limit and unlocks the full mockup library.

Question 14

How much does PreviewKit cost?

Accepted Answer

Pro is 12 USD per month, or 79 USD per year, which saves about 45 percent against the monthly price. There is also a one-time Lifetime option at 149 USD.

Question 15

Is there a one-time payment option?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lifetime access is 149 USD as a single payment. It includes unlimited listing-ready video, the full mockup library and commercial use, with no recurring charge.

Question 16

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Monthly and yearly plans can be cancelled at any time. The Lifetime option is a one-time payment, so there is nothing to cancel.

Question 17

Do PreviewKit exports have a watermark?

Accepted Answer

No. Exports are clean on both the free and paid plans. The free plan limits how many MP4s you can export rather than adding a watermark.

Question 18

Can I use PreviewKit videos commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Commercial use is included with Pro and Lifetime, so paid template listings, client work, ads and app store submissions are all covered. Full terms are in the licence.

Question 19

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Apple Pay, Google Pay, and major credit and debit cards.
