Here’s an app screen mockup that works well for a website flow, a UI kit preview and similar projects.

Useful for product teams as much as for UI/UX designers. One thing worth knowing: put your strongest screen in the most visible position. People judge the whole set by the first screen they see.

Stakeholders who don’t read wireframes still understand a screen on a device straight away.

Credit goes to a designer on Dribbble. We link to their download page rather than re-uploading the file, so check their terms there before commercial use.

What’s inside the App Screen Mockup PSD

The PSD is layered, so you can change:

  • Screen design, placed through the smart object
  • Device colour, where the file includes it
  • Background colour
  • Shadow under the device

How to use the App Screen Mockup

  1. Pick one strong screen. It reads better than a crowded one.
  2. In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
  3. Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
  4. Lower the glare layer if it hides small text.
  5. Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.

For app store or portfolio images, crop tight around the device so the screen fills most of the frame.

Ways to use this App Screen Mockup

  • Show a case study header to a client before it goes to print or production.
  • Share a UI kit preview on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.
  • Show several app screens on your online shop or product page.

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 put my artwork on the screen presentation?

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.
