Status Bar knows the geometry. It reads your image's aspect ratio, guesses the device it came from, and draws the matching bar – Dynamic Island, notch, or classic home-button layout – scaled to the exact height Apple uses on that model. 18 device profiles from iPhone SE to iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPad Pro 13".

Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
