Need to show a streaming app UI to a client? This apple TV mockup does the job in a few minutes.
Video creators and UI designers tend to get the most out of files like this. One thing worth knowing: for app store or portfolio images, crop tight around the device so the screen fills most of the frame.
A screen inside a real device frame explains a product faster than a raw screenshot, which is why it shows up on so many landing pages and app store listings. For a fuller case study, combine it with a laptop or tablet mockup showing the desktop version.
This is a free file from a designer on Dribbble. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.
Editable options in the Apple TV Mockup PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Screen design, placed through the smart object
- Shadow under the device
- Screen glare and reflection layers
How to use the Apple TV 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.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Hide the reflection layer for a flatter look.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: make your screen design at the exact pixel size of the smart object, otherwise text on the screen turns blurry.
Where the Apple TV Mockup works best
- Use it as the cover image for a presentation slide in your portfolio.
- Share a digital menu board on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.
- Make two or three colour versions of a video thumbnail and let the client pick.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
A designer on Dribbble sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
How do I put my artwork on the TV screen?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
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.
