# React Bits Center Stage turns screenshots into free 4K product shots

Free and browser-based, it puts screen recordings and screenshots on phones, laptops and browsers with 3D tilt, then exports 4K video, images or GIFs.

[React Bits](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/resources/react-bits>) released Center Stage on October 18, a free tool that turns any screenshot or screen recording into a polished product shot. It runs in the browser and exports 4K video, images and GIFs, aimed at launch videos and product demos.

Official Center Stage announcement demo.

## How it works

You start from one of 200 presets, then put your screens on lifelike phones, laptops and browsers. From there you shape the shot with 3D tilt, depth of field, shadows and type. Dragging the scene into position sets the framing, and that exact shot is what you export.

Any React Bits background can sit behind the scene as a backdrop, with optional blur and dim controls. Exports come out as 4K images, 4K video, GIFs or a shareable link. To show the range, React Bits posted a reel of nine five-second shots, all exported from Center Stage.

## Why it was built

React Bits’ creator says Center Stage started as a way to get better UI shots for the React Bits 2.0 launch video. It was then turned into a complete tool for making high-resolution launch and demo videos.

## Availability

Center Stage is free and runs entirely in your browser, with nothing to install. It joins React Bits’ other free creative tools, Background Studio, Shape Magic, Texture Lab and Sound Lab, which React Bits says all run in the browser with no limits. Sound Lab launched the same morning. The announcement does not mention an account requirement or a paid tier.

## Why it matters

Turning app screens into device shots for a launch video usually means mockup templates or animating frames by hand. Center Stage puts that in one browser tab: drop in a recording, pick a device and angle, and export a 4K clip ready to cut into a demo.
