Desktop mockup FAQs
What is a desktop mockup?
A desktop mockup is a pre-made template that places your website, web app, or UI design onto a realistic desktop monitor screen. Instead of a plain screenshot, you present your work in a polished, full-scale context that communicates the real weight of your design.
When should I use a desktop mockup instead of a laptop mockup?
Desktop mockups are the stronger choice when your design is built for large screens, like dashboards, data-heavy interfaces, editorial layouts, and widescreen web experiences. If screen size is central to your story, a desktop monitor frame communicates that scale far more effectively than a laptop.
Do I need Photoshop or Figma to use desktop mockups?
No. The online editor lets you apply your design directly in the browser, with no Photoshop or other software required. You can also use the Artboard Studio Figma plugin or Adobe Express plugin without leaving your design tool.
What file formats are available for desktop mockups?
You can export your finished mockup as a high-resolution PNG, JPEG, WEBP, MP4, or WEBM, ideal for portfolio pages, client decks, and design marketplace listings.
Can I use desktop mockups for commercial projects?
Yes. Mockups on Artboard Studio come with a commercial license, making them suitable for client presentations, portfolio pages, agency case studies, and design marketplace listings.
Can I use desktop mockups to showcase video or animated UI?
Yes. Artboard Studio supports video mockups, so you can apply your screen recording, prototype walkthrough, or animated UI to a desktop monitor mockup and export as MP4 or WEBM, ideal for product demos at full scale.
