The reel
Nine clips. Every one came out of a browser tab.
These are not renders made for this page. Each one is a Starter opened in the studio and exported through the same dialog you get — same engine, same encoder, same files.
Each one is a Starter in the studio. Open it, drop your own screenshot on top, and the shot is already composed. Open the studio.
How it works
Three steps from a screenshot to a shot
- 01
Open the studio and pick a frame
A new project asks which device you want — Screenshot, Browser, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac, Display, or Watch — and lands on a scene that already looks finished.
- 02
Drop your screenshot
Paste or drop a PNG, JPG, or a short clip onto the screen. The pixels stay in this browser. Nothing is uploaded to ScreenLive servers.
- 03
Light it, move the camera, export
Orbit, pan, and zoom. Switch a lighting rig. Add lens blur. Capture a 2× PNG of the viewport, or Export a still or MP4. The free file is always available.
The studio
A product photo desk, not a flat mockup overlay
Camera and light
Drag to orbit. Named camera moves write keyframes you can edit. Three lighting rigs, contact shadows, and a studio room that can stay pinned.
Shots and motion
The timeline is a list of shots. Each shot owns its media, headline or logo, and the keys inside its span. Motion is not a black-box preset — it is keyframes.
Export without a paywall
Free export = 720p + watermark · $1 unlocks clean + 4K
ScreenLive is a browser studio for cinematic device mockups. You bring a product screenshot — an app store still, a landing page, a settings screen — and the studio puts it on a device that already has weight, glass, and a camera. The point is a finished product photo or a short launch clip, not a flat PNG drop-shadow.
The heavy work is a WebGL compositor that never runs on this marketing page. Open Studio when you want the 3D engine. Here, the promise is simpler: the editor is free to use, files never leave your machine, and the paid unlock is one dollar, once.
Edit, preview, and Capture stay free. Capture writes a 2× PNG of the viewport at the frame’s ratio, with no dialog and no watermark. Default Export is different on purpose: the free file is 720p with a screenlive.app mark so you can always leave with something. A one-time $1 unlock — Lemon Squeezy, no subscription — removes the watermark and raises the cap to 4K.
Projects live in this browser’s IndexedDB. A second tab is told the project is open elsewhere. Theme preference sits in localStorage. Clearing site data deletes all of it. That is the same contract as the privacy page: rendering and encoding happen with WebGL and WebCodecs on your device. Optional Vercel Analytics may record page views. They do not include your images. There is no account system in this version, and no third-party media host.
The studio is built for people who ship product shots every week — indie developers, design engineers, and small marketing teams who do not want a desktop installer or a cloud render queue. Pick a Look or a Starter to set device, camera, and light together. Keep your own media when you apply one. Then nudge the shot until it matches the campaign, and export.
How-tos on the blog walk through an iPhone mockup, a MacBook from a website screenshot, a browser window, and an MP4 camera move — the same studio, no Photoshop. Compare pages spell out where ScreenLive sits next to UltraMock, Rotato, Mokoo, and Shots.so. Those pages are for people who already know the category. This homepage is the product photograph.
How-tos
From a screenshot to a shot, in writing
The studio is the editor. These pages are what crawlers and humans read first — the same steps, without the WebGL.
How to make an iPhone mockup
Screenshot onto a photoreal phone in the browser. No Photoshop, no install.
MacBook from a website screenshot
Put a landing page on a measured laptop, show the deck, export a still.
Animated device mockup video
Named camera moves as keyframes. MP4 or WebM, encoded in this tab.
Mockup generator that does not upload
WebGL on this machine. IndexedDB. No account, no media host.
Alternatives
If you already know the other tool
Honest splits, vendor links, and prices we can actually cite. Verify the other side on their site.
UltraMock alternative
Same cinematic browser job. ScreenLive publishes a $1 unlock.
Rotato alternative (Windows)
The cinematic shot without a Mac installer.
Mokoo alternative
$1 once for clean 4K. Not Mokoo’s timeline or USB Mirror.
Shots.so alternative
Photoreal 3D and a camera, not a glass social card.
