Mockup Placeholder Images

Device mockups display your designs within realistic device frames — laptops, phones, tablets, and browser windows. To create effective mockups, you need placeholder images that match the exact screen dimensions of each device.

Generating Device-Specific Placeholders

For mockup tools, you typically need images at the device's native resolution:

  1. Enter the device's screen dimensions (width and height)
  2. Choose a neutral or branded background color
  3. Add descriptive text like "App Screenshot" or "Website Preview"
  4. Download as PNG for lossless quality

Tips for Mockup Placeholders

  • Match the device orientation — Phones are usually shown in portrait, laptops in landscape
  • Use the device's status bar area — If your mockup template includes the status bar, account for that space
  • Consider safe areas — Modern phones with notches and rounded corners have safe areas where content should not extend
  • Include realistic content hints — Instead of just solid colors, consider adding simple rectangles to suggest a UI layout

Use Case

Designers and marketers create device mockup presentations to showcase app designs, website redesigns, or product features. Using correctly sized placeholders ensures the mockup looks realistic and the design fits naturally within the device frame.
