Hey everyone! I’m back with a new blog and this time isn’t about something very technical, but this will very helpful, for the following reasons:
- You want to upload your app to the App Store
- You want to create a nice Github repository
- You want to show a preview for a client
The screenshot on top was my first mockup, I had no idea about how to create one but this is great! And… let’s be honest looks better than this:
That was my first SwiftUI practice, is okay yeah but with the mockup is so much better and it looks more profesional. So enough and let’s start with it.

- Multiple devices like iPhone, iPad and even Mac’s!
The only thing you have to do is, take a screenshot from the iOS simulator and drop the image on the box! Then you can select multiple background and stuff, like this:
And then you have this:
Later with another image editor you add more things! I also love the 3D mockup, you can move the device in multiple angles!
And then you got this:
This is just awesome! I hope this is helpful for everyone, again thanks to reddit users that helped me, now go and create awesome mockups, take care! ❤
