Android mockup generator

Showing an app in an Android frame keeps it recognisable to the huge share of users on the platform, and it sidesteps the assumption that every product is iPhone-first. A clean punch-hole phone gives your screenshot context without tying it to one manufacturer. This guide covers fitting the capture and dressing the backdrop.

Capture at the phone's own ratio

Android screens are typically a tall 20 by 9, so a screenshot taken on the phone slots into the frame cleanly. That is the surest way to a mockup where the status bar and navigation sit exactly where they should.

If your source is a different shape, the studio fills the screen and crops the overflow rather than stretching it. Review the edges after framing, since a system bar can end up partly cut on an unusual ratio.

Keep key elements away from the extreme top and bottom of the capture so the centre-crop never eats them.

Dress the backdrop

Pick a backdrop that contrasts with the app screen, going darker behind a light UI and lighter behind a dark one, so the phone reads as a distinct object rather than melting into the background.

Padding gives the device breathing room, which is what separates a polished store asset from a cramped one. The shadow grounds the phone on the backdrop so it does not look pasted on.

A modest tilt adds life to a feature graphic, but keep the rotation gentle so the content stays legible.

Where an Android mockup fits

Play Store listings and feature graphics are the natural home, where a framed phone on a branded backdrop shows the app at a glance.

On a site or in a deck, an Android frame signals broad platform support, especially when paired with an iPhone shot of the same screen.
