A device mockup places your screenshot inside a realistic frame — a phone, tablet, laptop, watch, or browser — turning a raw capture into a marketing-ready image that shows your product in context. The right mockup depends on your audience and surface: current iPhone for broad reach, MacBook or browser for web apps, Pixel for Android-first products, Apple Watch for wearables. Below is how to choose, the frame styles that fit each job, and the dedicated tool for every device.

Realistic frames — with accurate bezels, buttons, and finishes — add credibility and context. They're the right call for App Store and Play Store screenshots, product-page hero shots, and anywhere the device itself is part of the story. The trade-off is visual weight: the frame competes with the UI for attention.
Minimal or clay frames strip the device down to a clean silhouette so the screenshot is the hero. They suit documentation, changelogs, dense feature grids, and developer-facing content where the UI is the point. Use the device frame generator to switch styles, and the animated mockup generator when a moving demo will out-convert a static image. Whatever you choose, keep one style and one device generation per surface — mixing them is the most common thing that makes an otherwise good set look careless.

Go deeper on mockups for any device.
A device mockup places a screenshot or design inside a realistic frame of a phone, tablet, laptop, watch, or browser. It turns a raw screenshot into a marketing-ready image that shows your product the way people actually use it — on a device.
Match the device to your audience and the surface. Use the current iPhone for the broadest consumer reach, iPad for tablet-first apps, MacBook or browser for web apps and SaaS, Apple Watch for wearables, and Pixel for Android-first products. The key rule: stay on one generation per campaign instead of mixing old and new devices.
Realistic device frames (with bezels, buttons, and finishes) add credibility and context — best for App Store screenshots and product pages. Minimal or clay frames keep the focus on the UI — best for documentation, changelogs, and dense feature grids. Pick one style per surface and keep it consistent.
