Build me a screenshot beautifier like Shots or Xnapper, as a single static page. Requirements: - Drag-and-drop or paste a screenshot onto the page (also support a file picker). - Render it on a canvas with: adjustable padding, corner radius, and shadow; a background picker with ~10 tasteful presets (gradients + solid colors) plus a custom color input; optional 16:9 / 4:3 / 1:1 / Twitter-size canvas ratios. - Live preview of every control, no Apply buttons. Controls in a sidebar. - Export as PNG at 1x or 2x with one click; also Copy to clipboard. - Everything client-side · no uploads, no server, works offline once loaded. Vanilla JS + canvas, one HTML file, no build step, no frameworks. - Make the defaults gorgeous so the first export already looks premium.
