Free · No install · No watermark
A free Rotato alternative
Rotato is a polished, paid 3D mockup app, and its real edge is animated video mockups and a deep device library. But it’s a download you pay for. If what you actually need is a still 3D iPhone shot — free, in the browser, nothing to install — here is the honest trade.

Where this tool wins
- It’s free, and commercial use needs no attribution — put the export straight in front of customers without buying a license.
- Nothing to install and no account: it runs in any desktop browser on Mac, Windows, or Linux, and your screenshot never leaves it.
- For a single still App Store or product shot, there’s no app to learn, update, or open — drop, angle, export.
Where Rotato is the better pick
If you want an animated mockup — the phone spinning, the screen scrolling, exported as video up to 8K — that is Rotato’s home ground, and this tool does not do motion at all. Rotato also ships 30+ devices spanning laptops and desktops, not just current phones, and as a native app it has room for depth a browser tool trades away for zero install. This tool does one thing: put your screenshot on a bare 3D phone you can angle and light, and export a clean still. Pick the one that matches the shot you need.
