A tablet app looks better on a dark iPad Pro mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Product teams and UI designers tend to get the most out of files like this. Tip: make your screen design at the exact pixel size of the smart object, otherwise text on the screen turns blurry.
It’s also a quick way to make case study images look consistent: same device, same angle, different screens. Pair it with a second device from the same angle to show a responsive layout.

How to edit this Dark iPad Pro Mockup in Photoshop
- Take a clean screenshot of the app or website you want to show.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Change the background colour to fit your brand.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: for app store or portfolio images, crop tight around the device so the screen fills most of the frame.
Where the Dark iPad Pro Mockup works best
- Make two or three colour versions of an e-learning screen and let the client pick.
- Use it as the cover image for a tablet app in your portfolio.
- Show a digital magazine page to a client before it goes to print or production.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this iPad mockup for client work?
A designer on Behance 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 iPad?
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.
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.
Can I remove the screen reflection?
Usually yes. Reflections and glare are normally a separate layer that you can hide or lower in opacity.
