PHONE & TABLET MOCKUPS

Keep important content away from a device notch

Device decorations can overlap source content near the top edge. Check the actual rendered screen area rather than assuming the full rectangle is visible.

Put it into practice

  1. Place the screenshot in the selected frame.
  2. Inspect the top-center region and corners.
  3. Adjust the source or choose a different frame when controls disappear.

What this looks like

WORKED EXAMPLE

A headline inside the app sits below the device cutout in the finished mockup.

A detail to keep clear

Do not move interface elements in the image to imply a layout the application does not actually use.

Using MockupX

Device frames, output dimensions and source screenshot dimensions are separate choices. A phone frame on a square canvas is useful for social sharing; it is not automatically an accepted app-store upload. Check orientation, fit and output pixels independently.

Check the result

Keep the original screenshot, then review the exported file at the size where people will see it. Check the message, the visible interface and the final crop separately. For a handoff, record the destination and the approved file so another person can distinguish the final version from a draft.
