Add your screen

Watch · 15 sec

Bring a screenshot or recording into your mockup.

  1. Open a template, then select Screen in the editor.
  2. Choose a PNG, JPG, WebP or MP4, or drop the file onto the canvas. Your media stays in this browser.
  3. Use Center crop to fill the display, or the fit control to keep the full image visible. Adjust screen brightness if needed.

Keep your original file. Imports are limited to 300 MB per file, and oversized images or recordings may need to be resized first.

Make it yours

Watch · 15 sec

Find the right finish, camera angle and background.

  1. In Device, choose a finish. Drag the model to rotate it and scroll to zoom.
  2. Open Scene to set the canvas ratio, background and lighting. Your exported image uses this canvas, not the size of the browser window.
  3. Use Front, Back or Fit to canvas to reframe the device. Undo brings back the previous edit.

Choose the device when starting a project from Templates. The editor adjusts that device; it does not switch the project to another model.

Edit an animation

Watch · 15 sec

Build movement with clips, timing and keyframes.

  1. Switch to Video and choose Add animation. Select a motion preset to add it to the timeline.
  2. Select a clip. Drag its body to move it, its edges to change its length, or an interior diamond to retime a keyframe.
  3. Move the playhead to inspect a moment. Use the Animation panel to refine the selected motion, then play the preview before exporting.

Preview playback does not export a file. MP4 export renders the full timeline at 30 fps without audio. Available duration depends on your plan.

Export a video

Watch · 15 sec

Turn your timeline into a ready-to-share MP4.

  1. Preview your motion, then open Export and choose MP4.
  2. Check the output dimensions, duration and quality. The available options reflect your current plan and browser capabilities.
  3. Start the export and keep the tab visible. When rendering finishes, download the MP4 to your computer.

Free exports up to 720p for 10 seconds; Pro adds 1080p, 4K and 8K for up to 30 seconds. All are silent at 30 fps. Export checks your browser at the selected dimensions and uses H.264 or H.265 (HEVC). 8K requires a compatible encoder and enough graphics memory.

Export an image

Watch · 15 sec

Save the exact frame you have in mind.

  1. Pause at the frame you want, or compose a still scene in Photo mode.
  2. Open Export, choose PNG and select the resolution. Free supports a 1,280 px longest edge; Pro supports up to 7,680 px and a transparent background.
  3. Export and download the image. To save an editable copy as well, use Export project backup in the editor.

A PNG or MP4 is a finished export. A .modolly file is the editable project backup, including your imported media and model references.

Save & back up

Auto-save protects your latest edit in this browser. A project file gives you an independent copy.

  1. Wait for Saved on this device before closing a project.
  2. Choose Export project backup in the editor, or Export project file from a project’s menu.
  3. To restore it, open Projects and choose Import project file. The backup becomes a new project.

Back up before clearing browser data or switching browsers, computers or website addresses. Platform models are not included in the backup; loading them still requires internet access and the appropriate plan.

Keep your hands on the keyboard.

⌘ / Ctrl + Z
Redo

Click the preview to focus it before using camera keys. Keyboard actions do not replace text input while you are editing a field.

Something not quite right?

Answers about storage, importing, exports and your account.

Where are my projects and media saved?

Projects, imported pictures, recordings and thumbnails stay in this browser on this device. They are not uploaded or automatically synced. Your account, subscription and the platform model catalog are online. Models still need an internet connection to load.

How do I back up a project or move it to another browser?

Use Export project backup in the editor or Export project file in the Projects menu. Keep the .modolly file somewhere safe. In Projects, choose Import project file to restore it as a new project. Back up before clearing browser data or changing websites, browsers or computers. Logging in on another device does not transfer local projects.

Why did my import fail?

Keep the original file and check its format, dimensions and size. Each file can be up to 300 MB. Images can be up to 8,192 pixels on the longest edge and 32 megapixels; videos up to five minutes, 4,096 pixels on the longest edge and nine megapixels. Check available browser storage and retry. A failed import does not replace the last saved media.

My screen looks cropped or stretched. What should I do?

Open Screen and change the fit mode. Center crop fills the screen by cropping the edges; the full-image option preserves the whole design and may leave space around it. For the closest fit, use the screen dimensions shown in the editor when preparing your image or recording.

Why is video export unavailable or slow?

MP4 is rendered frame by frame on your device. Your browser needs WebCodecs and an H.264 or H.265 encoder that supports the selected size. Keep the tab visible and close other graphics-heavy tabs. Use the lower-resolution option if a check or export fails. PNG remains an alternative. An HEVC export needs a compatible video player; smaller H.264 exports have broader playback support.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

Your local projects, media and backups remain on your device. Pro models require an active membership to load and edit. Free models remain available. You can manage renewal and view the current subscription status in Account and billing.

What if saving fails or media is missing?

Do not clear browser data. Keep the tab and your source files open, check storage space, then retry. Export a project backup when possible. If a file is missing, select the original file again. Only the Saved on this device state confirms that the save completed.

Can I export in 8K?

Yes, with Pro and a compatible device. Landscape is 7,680 × 4,320 and portrait is 4,320 × 7,680 for PNG and MP4. Square PNG reaches 7,680 × 7,680; square MP4 reaches 4,320 × 4,320. The export dialog always shows the actual dimensions. Higher resolution needs more memory and does not add detail missing from your original screen image. These are export limits; media import limits are unchanged.
