Device mockup

Put an image, a video, or a live website inside a bundled iPhone, iPad or MacBook. A website is captured at the chassis screen's own pixel width, so it lands perfectly sharp.

Get Aspects

One of the tools in Aspects for macOS. $19 once, cloud optional.

Three sources
An image, a video, or a URL. A page loads in a real WebKit view, the same engine Safari uses, so scripts run and webfonts load before the shot.
Ten bundled chassis
iPhone 14 Pro, 15, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. iPad mini, iPad Pro 11 and iPad Pro 13. MacBook Air 13, MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16.
Captured to fit
A website is snapshotted at the chassis screen's exact pixel width, so it composites one to one. No upscale blur, and no guessing at a 9:19.5 phone screen by hand.
Trim
Start and end fractions on a video source, the same control Crop uses. Image and website sources export a still.
Background
A colour behind the chassis, or a background image or video blurred up to 100 px. The chassis sits on a fixed centred margin of its own.
Output size
Thirteen ratio presets or a custom W×H, 480 to 2560 px wide, at 1×, 2× or 3× supersampling, plus an optional 90° or 180° rotation.

What it is for

Showing a design in a device, so the thing on screen reads as a product rather than a flat rectangle. An app screenshot in an iPhone, a site in a laptop, a video playing on a phone in a feed post.

Three kinds of source

The screen can hold an image, a video, or a live website. That last one is the useful one: give it a URL and Aspects loads the page in a real WebKit view and renders it into the chassis, so the mockup is the current site rather than a screenshot taken last month.

The chassis themselves ship with the app as photographic renders, not vector outlines, so the result has real glass, real edges and real light.

How it works

Pick a chassis, pick a source, set the output ratio and background. The design is warped into the screen's perspective automatically — you are not nudging corners into place.

An image or a website source exports a still. A video source exports an MP4 with the video playing in the screen.

What you get

  • PNG or JPEG for an image or website source
  • MP4 for a video source
  • Any output ratio and background around the device

One honest limitation

Device Mockup is deliberately single-source: one chassis, one screen. Frame and Crop take a whole set and export a batch, but a device has one screen and a gallery of them would be a different tool. If you need the same design in five chassis, that is five artboards.
