A digital magazine page looks better on an iPad Pro with pencil mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Good pick for publishers, product teams or anyone putting together a portfolio. 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.
A designer on Gumroad created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
Editable options in the IPad Pro with Pencil 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
Editing the IPad Pro with Pencil 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.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Worth remembering: make your screen design at the exact pixel size of the smart object, otherwise text on the screen turns blurry.
Where the IPad Pro with Pencil Mockup works best

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
A designer on Gumroad 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.
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.
