Mockup
An app mockup is a realistic image of your app shown on a device, made by placing a screenshot inside a device frame (2D) or a rendered device (3D). Store screenshots, landing pages and press kits use them.
2D mockups are flat and precise; 3D mockups add angles and lighting; lifestyle mockups place devices in photos.
For store screenshots, flat mockups at the exact store size are the most practical.

Frequently asked questions
Is a mockup the same as a screenshot?
A screenshot is the raw capture; a mockup places it on a device image, often with a background and caption.
Do I need 3D mockups?
Not for store screenshots. 3D suits promo videos and websites.
Where can I make mockups for free?
Our device mockup pages: phone frames are free.
