By the Shots teamUpdated 2 min read
Short answer
Screely is a free, simple way to put a screenshot in a macOS or Windows window on a background. If you need more for free, DeviceShots has the biggest free device catalog and SnapMock adds free perspective presets. Shots adds device mockups, 3D perspective, annotation, blur, and video export, included in every Shots plan. Screely is still the quickest option for a plain window frame, and it exports PDF, which most alternatives do not.
Shots is our product. Every other tool is listed on its merits, with details checked against the vendor's own site.
