Browser mockup generator

A browser frame is the lightest way to show a web page as a finished thing. It adds just enough chrome, a title bar, the traffic-light buttons and an address, to say 'this is a live site' without the weight of a whole laptop around it. This guide covers capturing the page and setting the address and backdrop.

Capture the page well

The content area below the title bar follows your screenshot's proportions, so a clean full-width capture of the page gives the best result. Hide your own browser's bookmarks bar and extensions before capturing so the only chrome is the frame's.

For a long page, a full-height capture works because the window grows to fit it. For a focused shot, capture just the section you want to feature so the window stays compact.

Use a high-resolution capture so text on the page stays crisp once it is placed in the frame.

Set the address and backdrop

Put your real domain in the URL so the mockup shows the site you want people to remember, rather than a localhost or preview link that gives the draft away.

A calm gradient or solid backdrop keeps the attention on the page. Because the window itself is light, a mid-tone backdrop usually frames it better than a very pale one.

Padding gives the window somewhere to sit, and the corner radius control lets you round the window to taste. The browser frame stays flat rather than tilted, which suits a clean product shot.

Where browser mockups fit

Landing pages and product tours use a browser frame to show the web app in context without the bulk of a laptop. Export transparent to drop it onto your own design.

In a deck or a proposal, a framed window makes a page look live and considered rather than a flat screenshot.
