A flat lay iPad mockup, made for presenting a dashboard. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Good pick for UI designers, product teams or anyone putting together a portfolio. 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.

What’s inside the Flat Lay iPad Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Screen design, placed through the smart object
- Device colour, where the file includes it
- Screen glare and reflection layers
- Shadow under the device
How to edit this Flat Lay iPad 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”.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Lower the glare layer if it hides small text.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Another tip: turn the screen glare layer down if your UI has small type. Glare looks nice but hides detail.
Where the Flat Lay iPad Mockup works best
- Show an e-learning screen to a client before it goes to print or production.

- Show a dashboard on your online shop or product page.
Quick notes on this mockup
- Made by PSD Graphics. The download size and format are listed on their page.
- Built for Adobe Photoshop. A recent CC version handles the smart objects best.
- Check the smart object size before you design, so your artwork fits without stretching.
- Some free mockups ask for credit when you post them. A short line in your caption is enough.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
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.
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.
