An iMac mockup, made for presenting a video thumbnail. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
It’s a handy file for product marketers and web designers. Tip: turn the screen glare layer down if your UI has small type. Glare looks nice but hides detail.
It’s also a quick way to make case study images look consistent: same device, same angle, different screens. For a fuller case study, combine it with a laptop or tablet mockup showing the desktop version.
This is a free file from Pixeden. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.
What’s inside the iMac Mockup PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Screen design, placed through the smart object
- Device colour, where the file includes it
- Shadow under the device
Add your design to the iMac Mockup
- Export your screen design as a PNG at the exact size of the screen smart object.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: screenshots with a white background can blend into the bezel; a thin shadow or darker UI reads better.
Best uses for this iMac Mockup

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this iMac mockup for client work?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
What size should my screenshot be?
Open the screen smart object and check its canvas size in Image › Canvas Size. Paste your screenshot at that size so it stays sharp.
