MockUPhone is a free, long-running utility that wraps a screenshot in a device frame. Great for a quick framed device; it has no backgrounds, text, templates, App Store sets, or animation.

Its specialist focus, compared with Screenhance's complete launch workflow.
MockUPhone is free, needs no account, and does the one thing it does in seconds: pick a device, upload a screenshot, download a framed PNG. If all you need is a clean device frame around a screenshot, it's hard to beat on simplicity.
MockUPhone supports a wide range of devices — phones, tablets, wearables, laptops, even TVs — and offers downloadable frame PNG assets. The breadth of raw device options is genuinely large.
MockUPhone has been around for years and is open-source. It's a trusted, stable utility that does exactly what it says with no surprises.
The workflows where Screenhance replaces more tools and ships more of the launch.
MockUPhone gives you a device with your screenshot inside it on a transparent or plain background. Screenhance gives you the finished marketing image — device, gradient or mesh background, headline text, and layout — the thing you actually publish. With MockUPhone you still have to take its output into another tool to add a background and caption.
Screenhance has coordinated set templates for iOS, Google Play, and the Chrome Web Store, with store-ready size presets, built-in translation across 16 locales, and organized ZIP exports. MockUPhone frames one device at a time rather than producing a coordinated store set.
Screenhance ships editable visual templates with headlines, multi-screenshot compositions, and editable backgrounds, plus device and stylized frames and photorealistic scenes. MockUPhone provides the framed device rather than the surrounding composition.
Screenhance exports animated GIF and WebM. MockUPhone is static PNG only.
Screenhance keeps frames current — iPhone 17, iPhone Air, Pixel 9 Pro, Apple Watch Series 11 — on the web. MockUPhone's library is broad but skews older, so the latest flagships may lag.
Choose Screenhance
you want a finished, publishable marketing image — device plus background, text, and layout — or you need App Store screenshot sets, templates, animation, or localization. Screenhance produces the whole image, not just the framed device.

you only need a bare device frame around a screenshot with no background or text, you want it free with zero signup, and you'll handle any further composition in another tool.

Choose a visual template, a store-listing set, a Launch Kit, or an empty canvas for full control.

Screenhance covers the full path from a raw screenshot or screen recording to coordinated, editable launch assets.
Use current device frames, stylized treatments, or photorealistic placements across phones, tablets, laptops, watches, TVs, print, apparel, and outdoor media.
Start with a complete composition for mockups, Product Hunt, OG images, website heroes, Play feature graphics, or Chrome Web Store promo assets, then edit every layer.
Create coordinated iOS, Google Play, and Chrome Web Store screenshot sets, edit localized copy across supported languages, and export organized PNG ZIPs, including fastlane-ready iOS folders.
Animate layers with editable motion styles and export GIF or WebM, or record and polish a product demo in Studio with frames, cursor motion, captions, audio, and MP4/WebM export.
Yes, especially if you need a complete launch asset rather than a bare device frame. Screenhance combines editable visual templates, device and stylized frames, photorealistic scenes, store screenshot sets, translation across 16 locales, motion, Launch Kit, and Studio video in one editable workflow.
Yes. MockUPhone is free with no account required. Screenhance also has a free tier (3 exports/month) plus a $6 one-time Launch Pass and $12/month Pro for the features MockUPhone doesn't offer: backgrounds, text, templates, App Store sets, and animated exports.
Not as a coordinated store set. MockUPhone frames a single device; Screenhance provides coordinated store-set templates, iOS and Google Play presets, editable captions and backgrounds, translation across 16 locales, and organized ZIP exports.
No. MockUPhone outputs the device with your screenshot inside it; backgrounds and text are not part of the tool. Screenhance includes gradient, mesh, and image backgrounds plus headline and caption text, so the export is publish-ready.
MockUPhone has a broad device library but it skews toward older and mid-range models, so the newest flagships can lag. Screenhance keeps current frames available on the web, including iPhone 17, iPhone Air, Pixel 9 Pro, and Apple Watch Series 11.
No — MockUPhone exports static PNGs only. Screenhance exports animated GIF and WebM in addition to static formats, which is useful for landing-page heroes, Product Hunt galleries, and social posts.

MockUPhone occupies a specific, useful niche: it is the fastest way on the web to take a raw screenshot and get back the same screenshot sitting inside a believable device. For a developer dropping a phone into a README, a blog post, or a quick Slack share, that is often the entire need, and the price — free, no account — is exactly right for it. The tool has earned its longevity by refusing to become something it isn't.
The limitation shows up the moment the output needs to be a marketing asset rather than a utility image. A framed device on a transparent background is an ingredient, not a finished dish. App Store screenshots need a colored background, a headline that sells the feature, and a layout that holds up at thumbnail size in search results. A landing-page hero needs the device composed against brand colors with supporting copy. None of that is MockUPhone's job, so teams using it end up with a two-tool workflow: frame in MockUPhone, then finish in Figma or Canva. That hand-off is where time leaks and visual consistency drifts.
Screenhance collapses those two steps. The device frame, the background, the text, the multi-screenshot layout, and the export at the correct App Store sizes all happen in one canvas, and the result is the image you publish, not an ingredient for another tool. For a one-off framed screenshot, MockUPhone is still the quicker click. For anything you'd actually put on a store listing or a marketing page, doing it in one place — with templates and animation included — is the difference between minutes and an afternoon.
