When we first launched smartmockups.com as a small side project, we never anticipated the overwhelmingly positive response we received for the product. As a result, we’ve decided to take things a bit further by developing the Smartmockups app.
The Smartmockups app makes creating beautiful product screenshots a breeze, without using Photoshop. It offers over 200 premium mockups for both digital and printed products. It’s loaded with awesome scenes for responsive web designs and cool perspective screen mockups. Additionally, you can easily change background colors and select from a variety of background gradients.
The main advantage is probably the price. Placeit is really expensive and I'm not sure if it's bearable for all freelance designers. Another may be the speed, processing in your browser and connection with already made mockups - that means we support the original authors
Well perhaps I should include a screenshot because when I view the link I included the screen image is clearly going over the thumbs. Your screenshot is not the same as how it appears in my browser.
Hello guys, I'd like to show you our new project. It's a curated collection of product mockups for all designers, marketers and developers. All mockups are free and ready for personal and commercial projects. No Photoshop needed, you just pick one mockup, upload your image and download the final image in high resolution. Everything is processing in your browser so your files are safe.
I think this is a great idea. Unfortunately, several of the images have alignment issues and other problems. One of the mockups thumbnails covers up the user's thumbs with the screen, for example: http://smartmockups.imgix.net/47_bg.jpg?fit=crop&w=360&h=270...
Also, have you thought about doing some basic colour balancing on the uploaded images to match the environment in the image, or overlaying some subtle alpha-channel reflections? (Both of which would greatly increase the realism)
