Presenting a video thumbnail? Put it on this minimal iMac mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
Useful for agencies as much as for product marketers. 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. For a fuller case study, combine it with a laptop or tablet mockup showing the desktop version.
Works well for
- A video thumbnail
- A design system page
- A desktop website
Mockups Design 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 Minimal iMac Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Screen design, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Screen glare and reflection layers
How to use the Minimal iMac 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.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Screenshots with a white background can blend into the bezel; a thin shadow or darker UI reads better.
Where the Minimal iMac Mockup works best
- Present a wide dashboard in a client proposal or brand guide.
- Show a video thumbnail to a client before it goes to print or production.
- Share a desktop website on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.

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.
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.
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.
