Retina Turner
A Figma plugin that gives iPhone and Mac screenshots one clean, consistent style.
At Betfair, the design team took control of every phone screenshot that went into a presentation. It was a quick win that delivered instant value. Inconsistent screenshots distract people. Half the room ends up wondering why one phone looks great and the next doesn’t, instead of listening to the story. That small attention to detail said a lot about how we worked as a team, and it changed how the rest of the business saw design.
The catch was that only the design team could do it. A few product managers definitely wished they could do it themselves. Retina Turner is the tool I wish we’d had then. It brings that same quality to anyone, with no gatekeeping required.
Back at Provius, we had a big pitch and very little time. Ben and I were working on separate machines, pulling screens from QuickTime recordings (complete with the Mac window shadow) and from our own phone screenshots. We needed one fast way to make them all look like they came from the same, trustworthy place.
There was one more problem. A phone screenshot is a window into your life. The time, your battery, what you were listening to. Show a few in a row and people can work out how late you were up finishing the deck.
So Retina Turner does three things:
- Standardises Mac and iPhone captures. It trims the window shadow and scales Retina images down to their true size.
- Styles them consistently with your own border, corners and shadow, so screenshots carry your brand without fake phone frames.
- Cleans up the iPhone status bar with a consistent time and battery. It matches the background colour automatically, from an iPhone 11 to the latest Pro.
