How to Make a 3D Device Mockup Online for Free

Choose a device, prepare your screen recording, and create a free 3D mockup video. Learn what Free includes and when Pro is useful.

A 3D device mockup places a screenshot or recording on a virtual device. In freemockup.video Free, choose iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung S22 Ultra, or MacBook, add your media, select guided motion, and export an MP4 up to 4K without a watermark.

Match the recording to the device

Use a portrait capture for a mobile interface and a wide capture for a desktop website. A wide dashboard squeezed into a phone becomes hard to read. Start with MacBook for a website; screen-only presentation and the wider device catalog require Pro.

Prepare one visible outcome

Capture the shortest interaction that demonstrates a useful result: complete a task, apply a filter, or reveal a finished design. Use demo data and remove notifications. A still PNG works when the interface does not need to move.

Build the scene

Open Device and select a Free device. Open Media or drop your file into the editor. Check the fit before selecting an animation. Use a simple Color or Gradient background so the interface remains the most noticeable part of the frame.

Export a small test first

Play the whole animation, then use Export to render an HD MP4 with Background set to Scene. Check that the result is readable and plays correctly. Use 4K for the final version when its resolution is useful; larger files take more time and memory.

Know when another workflow fits better

For a public website, signed-in users can capture a URL as a still image or a short browser recording and apply it to a device screen. The editor does not build a custom 3D model or automatically assemble a long narrated product tour. Use a general video editor when you need those additional production steps.

A website presented in a MacBook scene

An existing Pro MacBook scene from our examples gallery. Use it to judge screen readability and composition. For a free version, choose the base MacBook and a Color or Gradient background; this concrete scene requires Pro. Open video · More examples
Add your screen. Drop a screenshot or short recording into Media. Use a portrait recording for iPhone and a wide recording for MacBook.
Set the composition. Choose the device, background, and animation. Preview the whole movement to check that labels stay readable.
Test the export. Choose HD for a quick MP4 test. Watch that file before spending time on the final 4K export.
