Turn a screenshot or a screen recording into a short 3D device animation: a phone floating in place, a tablet on a turntable, a laptop opening its lid, a monitor swinging into view. The result is an MP4 that plays in any browser or feed (1080p, or 720p, 480p or 360p for smaller files), or WebM, MOV, a WebM + MOV pair for websites, or GIF.
How to make an animated mockup
- Upload a screenshot, or a screen recording in MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV.
- Choose the device and the animation:
- Float: a gentle bob and wiggle.
- Turntable: one full turn, showing the sides and the back.
- Swing: turns left and right.
- Reveal: turns into view and switches the screen on; a laptop opens its lid.
- Slow zoom: the camera moves slowly towards the device.
- Choose the length. Automatic uses the length of your video (up to 15 seconds), or a length that suits the animation when you upload a picture.
- Choose the file type and download the video and its poster image.
Loops and screen recordings
Float, Turntable and Swing end exactly where they start, with no repeated frame at the seam, so they loop smoothly on a web page. The screen recording plays in real time on the device's screen: a shorter clip loops, a longer one is cut at the animation's length. Sound is not included.
Which file type
- MP4 (H.264) for websites, social media and presentations. It can't be transparent.
- WebM (VP9) is smaller, and can have a transparent background in Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Safari shows it without transparency.
- MOV (HEVC) is small and, with a transparent background, carries an alpha layer that Safari shows. Other browsers may not play HEVC.
- Website: WebM + MOV makes both files from the same frames plus the HTML to embed them: Safari plays the MOV, Chrome, Edge and Firefox the WebM, all with transparency.
- GIF for places that only take images: at most 480p, 20 frames per second, up to 10 seconds. Transparent GIFs have hard edges, so the soft shadow is left out and the edges are blended into a colour of your choice.
