What is Pika?

Pika is a browser-based screenshot editor that adds backgrounds, padding, shadows, device frames and annotations to any image you paste in. It is free to use with a small Pika watermark, and a Pro plan adds 4K exports, brand presets and watermark-free images.

Pros: what Pika does well

  • Clean results with almost no effort
  • Lots of backgrounds and frames
  • Works straight in the browser

Cons: where it falls short

  • Free images carry a Pika watermark
  • High-resolution exports need Pro

Who Pika is for

Makers and marketers who share product screenshots on social media, docs or launch pages.

Who can skip it

Designers who already build mockups in Figma.
