Store Media Studio

Capture once and export organized promotional media for stores and social platforms directly inside Godot.

Store Media Studio is a Godot 4.7 editor plugin designed to simplify the complete workflow of creating screenshots, store images, social-media exports, image sequences and short animated previews.

Capture your running project or an editor viewport, apply a reusable resolution preset, hide unwanted interface elements and export correctly named media without repeatedly resizing and reorganizing every file by hand.

Capture Once. Export Organized Media.

Preparing promotional media often requires repeating the same tasks: capturing the game, hiding debug elements, resizing the result, adapting it to several aspect ratios, renaming every file and sorting everything into folders.

Store Media Studio brings these steps together inside one Godot editor dock.

---

Stop Repeating the Same Export Work

A single game scene may need to be presented as a landscape screenshot, an itch.io cover, a Steam capsule, a square post, a vertical social-media image and a short animated preview.

Store Media Studio lets you reuse presets and capture sessions so these exports remain consistent between store pages, updates, devlogs and promotional campaigns.

How It Works

1. Enable Store Media Studio in your Godot project.
2. Open the Store Media Studio editor dock.
3. Select a built-in preset or configure a custom resolution.
4. Choose a capture method and optional visibility settings.
5. Configure the output folder, file name and duplicate policy.
6. Capture the current viewport, the running game or a complete reusable session.
7. Review the generated media and metadata in the integrated gallery.

Press F9 while the project is running to create a quick native PNG capture.

• Use naming templates and organized output folders.
• Handle duplicate files through unique suffix, overwrite or skip policies.
• Capture frame-by-frame PNG sequences.
• Export short GIF89a animated previews without an external encoder.
• Estimate resolution and memory usage before large captures.
• Browse recent exports through an integrated media gallery.
• Inspect thumbnails and JSON metadata directly from the editor.

Four Capture Workflows

Viewport Frame

Capture the visible running-game viewport, including ordinary runtime interface elements when required.

This mode is useful for complete gameplay screenshots, menus, HUD demonstrations and documentation images.

High-Resolution Re-render

Create a temporary SubViewport and render the active gameplay world at a custom resolution.

Optional supersampling renders the scene at a higher internal resolution before reducing it with high-quality filtering.

This mode is intended for cleaner gameplay-world images and automatically applies configured resolution and memory safeguards.

Automated Capture Sessions

Create reusable capture sessions containing several scenes and capture tasks.

Each task can use its own preset, delay, repetition count, camera path and output configuration.

Sessions can stop or continue after a failure, restore the initial scene and generate a detailed execution report.

Animated Media

Capture a bounded PNG sequence or create a short GIF preview directly from the running project.

Configure the duration, frame rate, maximum frame count, memory limit and GIF loop count.

Animated export is designed for short demonstrations, store previews and social-media posts rather than long-form video.

25 Built-In Presets

Store Media Studio includes 25 curated presets covering common capture, store and social-media workflows.

General Capture

• 4K UHD 3840x2160
• Ultrawide 2560x1080

High-Resolution Rendering

• Clean QHD render with 2x supersampling
• Clean 4K render with 2x supersampling

Social and Video

• YouTube thumbnail
• Landscape social post
• Square social post
• Portrait social post
• Vertical social post

Store Media

• itch.io cover
• Steam screenshots
• Steam store capsules

• Steam shortcut and application icons

Every preset can be adjusted and saved as a project-specific editable .tres resource.

Platform requirements can change. Always verify the current platform documentation before uploading final media.

Image Adaptation Modes

Fit

Preserve the complete source image inside the target canvas. Empty areas are filled with the selected background color.

Fill

Fill the complete target canvas while preserving the source aspect ratio. Parts extending outside the canvas are cropped from the center.

Stretch

Resize the source image directly to the target dimensions without preserving its original aspect ratio.

---

Naming and File Organization

Create reusable file-name templates using the following tokens:

{prefix}
{source}
{project}
{date}
{time}
{width}
{height}
{task}
{index}

Invalid file-name characters are replaced automatically.

When a file already exists, choose between:

• Unique Suffix — create a new numbered file.
• Overwrite — replace the existing file.
• Skip — preserve the existing file and cancel that export.

---

Supported Export Formats

• PNG
• JPG and JPEG
• WebP
• Frame-by-frame PNG sequences
• Short GIF89a animations

No external encoder is required for PNG sequences or short GIF exports.

---

Designed For

• itch.io and Steam product pages.
• Game-jam submissions.
• Asset-store screenshots.
• YouTube thumbnails.
• TikTok, Shorts and Reels promotional content.

---

Important Limitations

• High-resolution re-rendering shares the gameplay world but does not clone arbitrary runtime UI trees.
• Use Viewport Frame mode when ordinary CanvasLayer interface elements must appear in the final image.
• Some screen-space effects may look different inside a temporary high-resolution viewport.
• A dedicated camera path must resolve inside the currently loaded scene.
• Very large captures can exceed available RAM or VRAM despite the memory estimate.
• Editor viewport screenshots may contain editor-only overlays.
• GIF export uses a fixed 256-color palette.
• GIF export does not include audio or transparency optimization.
• Animated export is intended for short previews rather than long videos.
• Exact output file size depends on the captured image content.
• If Godot or the running game closes during a capture, normal visibility restoration callbacks cannot complete.
• Store Media Studio does not compose logos, titles, safe-zone overlays or store-specific graphic layouts automatically.
