I tried using a colorful gradient background for screenshots in my posts. And here's why everyone should use it (hint: it increases the reach of posts)

Firstly, I saw big creators use gradient background in their post's screenshots. I didn't understand why they were doing this.

Later I read somewhere that gradient colours are easy to capture attention and that's why creators were using it.

So, I also started doing the same. And it Also increased engagement rates, likes and impressions on my posts. And I recommend you all do the same.

Initially,

I was using Canva to create gradient background screenshots. But it was very time consuming to do it every time from Canva.

That's why I started searching for tools for this specific use only.

But all the tools I found have too many features, bad UIUX, and a watermark.

At the end, I built my own as per my needs. A minimalist screenshot beautifying tool which only has padding and radius adjustment options with some beautiful gradient background and images. You can add your custom background image too.

To conclude: I would say use any tool/method you want to create eye catching screenshots. You can use my tool or any other you find useful for yourself. But do it. It increases output you will get from your posts by just putting minimal extra effort.

Here you will find the tool BeautifulScreenshots you should give a try to it and then use what you will find good for yourself. But start using a gradient background. You will thank me later.
