A developer released a free tool to create product mockups

A solo developer built and released a free tool that places your app or website screenshots inside realistic device images. No design software needed — just upload a screenshot and get a polished promotional image.

A mockup is a promotional image that shows your app or website screen inside a photo of a real device like a phone or laptop. Normally you'd need Photoshop or a paid service to create these, but this free tool produces the same result in seconds.

For solo founders and indie developers, this kind of tool saves both money and time when building app store listings, landing pages, or social media posts. Being able to generate professional-looking visuals without design skills or a budget is a practical win for small teams.

Key points

  • Free tool that wraps screenshots in realistic device frames
  • No design software or paid subscription required
