Laptop Screen Mockup
What's inside

A website looks better on a laptop screen mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Bloggers and web designers tend to get the most out of files like this. Quick tip: turn the screen glare layer down if your UI has small type. Glare looks nice but hides detail.
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. Pair it with a second device from the same angle to show a responsive layout.
Use it for
- A website
- An online course screen
- A web app

What’s inside the Laptop Screen Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Screen design, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Screen glare and reflection layers
- Device colour, where the file includes it
Add your design to the Laptop Screen Mockup
- Export your screen design as a PNG at the exact size of the screen smart object.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- 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.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Make your screen design at the exact pixel size of the smart object, otherwise text on the screen turns blurry.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
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.
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.
