      <description>&lt;p&gt;Our Screenshot Localization Plugin for Figma has just been officially approved! 🤩&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This unlocks a full end-to-end workflow:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🎨 1. Create
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Design your base screenshots using our &lt;strong&gt;Free&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://aso.dev/figma-link/plugin" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Figma Screenshot Template&lt;/a&gt; - clean structure, consistent layout, ready for localization. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fj2fr7tsoru8u9m5ljoij.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fj2fr7tsoru8u9m5ljoij.png" alt="Screenshot Creator" width="800" height="450"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🌍 2. Localize
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Instantly translate screenshots into 39+ locales with our &lt;strong&gt;Free&lt;/strong&gt; [Figma Localization Plugin]. No manual duplication, no frame chaos - everything stays organized inside your Figma project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fvm3beoxterwmve6hczmz.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fvm3beoxterwmve6hczmz.png" alt="Figma Localization Plugin" width="800" height="450"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://aso.dev/tools/localization/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Translate JSON&lt;/a&gt;, generate localized screenshots, and export a folder of ready-to-use assets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📤 3. Translate &amp;amp; Upload
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Push localized screenshots in bulk through ASO.dev and save hours:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://aso.dev/metadata/editor-screenshots/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Screenshots&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://aso.dev/metadata/cpp/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;CPP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://aso.dev/metadata/ppo/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;PPO&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fc6vn2pal96sit1l96lq0.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fc6vn2pal96sit1l96lq0.png" alt="Mass Screenshot Uploader" width="800" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just drag and drop the folder exported from Figma - with all localized screenshots inside - and &lt;a href="https://aso.dev" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;ASO.dev&lt;/a&gt; takes care of the rest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can grab your access code and get started &lt;a href="https://aso.dev/figma/screenshots-localization/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>ASO.dev: Mass screenshot uploader for App Store Connect</title>
      <dc:creator>Julia Bulgakova</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sun, 01 Dec 2024 18:23:21 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/luvti/asodev-mass-screenshot-uploader-for-app-store-connect-5336</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/luvti/asodev-mass-screenshot-uploader-for-app-store-connect-5336</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Uploading multiple screenshots for the App Store is now hassle-free!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The feature we worked on for so long — and many of you have been eagerly waiting for — mass screenshot upload is finally here! 🚀&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fyya7jxq73m8lmv3ha42e.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fyya7jxq73m8lmv3ha42e.jpg" alt="Image description" width="800" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It took... drumroll... 17 months from the start of development to its current implementation!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mass Upload&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Once you select a folder, the system will automatically handle the following tasks:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Identify the localization based on the folder name (e.g., en_US).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Recognize the device type from the file name (e.g., iPhone 15 Pro) or file dimensions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create new screenshot sets and add locales if required.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Automatically sort screenshots in alphabetical order.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Individual File Upload&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Alternatively, you can upload screenshots one by one to fine-tune your app store visuals. And reorder them as needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All changes are applied locally.&lt;br&gt;
To save them, click the &lt;strong&gt;Save&lt;/strong&gt; button.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: Currently, only alphabetical sorting is supported.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Upload the screenshots to App Store Connect by clicking the Upload button.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Supported File Formats
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The App Store accepts screenshots in the following formats:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PNG&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;JPEG&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;JPG&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Folder Structure
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For successful mass screenshot uploads to App Store Connect, it’s recommended to follow a specific folder structure.&lt;br&gt;
The folder should contain subfolders for each localization, with images for each device inside.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Folder structure is compatible with fastlane and frameIt:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;screenshots/
├── en-US/
│   ├── iPhone15 Pro Max-1.png
│   ├── iPhone15 Pro Max-2.png
│   ├── iPad Pro 12.9-1.png
│   ├── iPad Pro 12.9-2.png
├── de-DE/
│   ├── iPhone15 Pro Max-1.png
│   ├── iPhone15 Pro Max-2.png
│   ├── iPad Pro 12.9-1.png
│   ├── iPad Pro 12.9-2.png
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Or from Figma:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;screenshots/
├── 6.9iphone
│   ├── en-US/
│   │   ├── iPhone15 Pro Max-1.png
│   │   ├── iPhone15 Pro Max-2.png
│   ├── de-DE/
│   │   ├── iPhone15 Pro Max-1.png
│   │   ├── iPhone15 Pro Max-2.png
├── 12.9ipad
│   ├── en-US/
│   │   ├── iPad Pro 12.9-1.png
│   │   ├── iPad Pro 12.9-2.png
│   ├── de-DE/
│   │   ├── iPad Pro 12.9-1.png
│   │   ├── iPad Pro 12.9-2.png
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
