Make every screenshot look intentional.
Practical mockup design guides for browser screenshots, mobile apps, social posts, store listings, export formats, and phone uploads.
Browser mockups that keep the product in focus
Use a browser frame when the interface needs context but the screenshot should remain the hero. Choose a wide canvas for landing pages and launch posts, keep the toolbar visually quiet, and leave enough outer spacing for the frame to read at thumbnail size.
- Start with a 16:9 canvas
- Keep important UI away from crop edges
- Use a restrained shadow for separation
Mobile app and device presentations
Device frames help viewers understand that a screen belongs to an app. Match the frame to the screenshot orientation, use a background with clear contrast, and avoid scaling the device so large that the surrounding composition disappears.
- Use 9:16 for stories and vertical placements
- Keep interface text readable
- Let the device finish support—not fight—the brand
Social graphics without rebuilding the design
Build the visual hierarchy once, then adapt it for square, landscape, portrait, and story placements. Protect the main message in the center-safe area and check every version at the size people will actually see in a feed.
- 1:1 for flexible feed posts
- 4:5 for more vertical feed space
- 9:16 for stories and short-form video covers
App Store and Google Play screenshot sets
A store gallery should tell one continuous product story. Lead with the strongest benefit, keep headline placement consistent, and vary the interface view from card to card so each image adds information instead of repeating the same screen.
- One benefit per image
- Consistent type scale and spacing
- Export at the exact required dimensions
Choosing PNG, JPEG, or WebP
PNG is the safest choice for crisp UI and transparency. JPEG is useful when photographic backgrounds need smaller files. WebP can combine strong compression with transparency support and is available as a Pro export in MockupX.
- PNG for interface detail
- JPEG for photo-heavy artwork
- WebP for modern web delivery
Move screenshots from your phone to the canvas
When the source screen lives on a phone, use the mobile upload flow instead of sending files through a messaging app that may compress them. Keep the original resolution so text, icons, and fine interface details stay sharp in the final export.
- Upload the original capture
- Check orientation before framing
- Review the final mockup at 100% zoom
