Show HN: An app to quickly turn boring screenshots into beautiful images

Hola hackers! I’m Rishi(https://twitter.com/thelifeofrishi) and I’ve been building Pika(https://pika.style), a screenshot beautifier app to quickly generate images for marketing, blog posts, social sharing and more.

Pika is a result of me spending too much time in designing screenshots in Figma, choosing the gradients, shadows, backgrounds etc. I thought I could quicken this process through a simple app.

With Pika, you can:

- add background gradient/images to your screenshot

- add browser frame/wrapper

- add rounded corners

- add overlay text

- add custom watermark

- control padding

How is Pika fast:

Whenever you change the settings, Pika saves those settings locally on your device. So when you come back again, Pika already has your last set of preferred settings and you won’t need to tweak much. On top of that, Pika has shortcuts: Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste image to canvas, Ctrl/Cmd+S to save output image and Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy output image. With these shortcuts and pre-saved settings, you can literally generate a beautiful screenshot in just 4 keystrokes.

Pika is absolutely free to use and requires no signup. There’s a Pro plan for those who want to customise screenshots even more. Pika is also an open-source app, code can be found here(https://github.com/rishimohan/pika).

Some stats:

- Pika has generated over 15000 screenshots in last month

- Pika already has $90 MRR and have been receiving lots of feature requests

- On Github, Pika has over 200 stars and 40 forks

Let me know what you think of Pika :)

Thanks Fayaz :)

I use it mostly every day. Thanks for your work, Rishi.

Looks great, thanks for offering a free tier as well as making that part open-source. I couldn't find license for the code on GitHub, would suggest to add one.

Also, perhaps add some prefix/suffix/icon like `$` for the pro-features on the app.
