How to Create Device Mockups from Screenshots
Device mockups transform flat screenshots into professional presentation images. Instead of showing a raw screenshot in a pitch deck, portfolio, or app store listing, you place it inside a realistic device frame — iPhone, MacBook, iPad, or browser window. The result looks polished and gives context to your design.

Why Use Device Mockups?
Raw screenshots lack context. A website screenshot could be any size on any screen. Placing it in a MacBook frame immediately communicates 'this is a desktop website.' Mockups are used in portfolios, case studies, pitch decks, app store listings, social media posts, and client presentations. They add perceived professionalism with minimal effort.
Creating Mockups with the Tool
Upload your screenshot to the Screenshot Mockup tool, choose a device frame (iPhone, MacBook, iPad, browser, or Android phone), and the tool composites your image into the device at the correct scale and position. Download the result as a high-resolution PNG. No watermarks, no signup, no Photoshop required.
Tips for Quality Mockups
Use high-resolution screenshots (2x Retina if possible). Clean up the screenshot before mockup generation — remove browser extensions, notifications, and personal information from the status bar. For iPhone mockups, use the device's native screenshot feature for proper dimensions. For web screenshots, use a full-page capture tool to avoid browser chrome. Match the device frame to your target audience — MacBook for B2B SaaS, iPhone for consumer apps.

For landing pages and portfolios, show your design across multiple devices to demonstrate responsiveness. Create separate mockups for desktop, tablet, and phone, then arrange them in your presentation tool. The most impactful composition is a MacBook center-left with an iPhone overlapping on the right — this is the standard layout used by Apple and most SaaS marketing pages.
