This dark tablet mockup is a quick way to show a dashboard without a photo shoot.
Good pick for publishers, UI designers or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: screenshots with a white background can blend into the bezel; a thin shadow or darker UI reads better.
It’s also a quick way to make case study images look consistent: same device, same angle, different screens.
Use it for
- A dashboard
- An e-learning screen
- A tablet app
Mockups Design created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
What’s inside the Dark Tablet Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Screen design, placed through the smart object
- Screen glare and reflection layers
- Shadow under the device
- Background colour
Editing the Dark Tablet Mockup, step by step
- Pick one strong screen. It reads better than a crowded one.
- 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.
- Lower the glare layer if it hides small text.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Turn the screen glare layer down if your UI has small type. Glare looks nice but hides detail.
Ways to use this Dark Tablet Mockup
- Use it as the cover image for a tablet app in your portfolio.
- Present a digital magazine page in a client proposal or brand guide.
- Share a dashboard on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
Mockups Design 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 tablet?
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.
Can I remove the screen reflection?
Usually yes. Reflections and glare are normally a separate layer that you can hide or lower in opacity.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Mockups Design gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
