iPhone mockup on a transparent background

A transparent PNG lets the phone rest on anything: a clip, a photograph, a slide, a web page. Make one here with your screen inside and the shadow included.

Row one is the bare frame at that scale. The rest are finished canvases: apply the padding and tilt in the note, then set the PNG on a backdrop of that size.

What changes with transparency

A JPEG paints every pixel, so whatever background you chose is baked in. A PNG can carry an alpha channel, a per-pixel record of how opaque each point is. With Background set to Transparent, the corners and the air around the shadow stay empty, and the layer beneath shows through. The preview draws a checkerboard so you can see which pixels are empty.

The soft shadow belongs to the picture as semi-transparent black: it darkens a light layer underneath and almost vanishes on a dark one. Planning to add a shadow of your own in an editor? Switch ours off and the outline stays clean.

Placing the file

In a video editor, put the PNG on a track above the clip, scale it to the height you need and add a little movement. In a slide tool, drop it on the slide and send it behind the text. In a design tool, place it as an image and the clear area is respected. Whichever you use, export at 2x or 3x so you can scale down later without losing detail.

This page is set to our iPhone 17 Pro drawing: a 1206 × 2622 px screen, a border of 3.2 pt and an edge of 2.4 pt. A frame-only export is 836 × 1770 px at 2x and 1254 × 2656 px at 3x. Padding adds empty space around that, 10 percent by default, and since empty pixels compress well the file stays light.

Two things worth knowing

JPEG cannot hold transparency, so choosing Transparent locks the format to PNG. And a small flexdger.com mark sits at the bottom edge, with a thin dark outline so it reads on light and dark layers alike. Members of Flexdger Wallet can turn it off. Over a busy scene, crop the bottom padding in your editor to move the mark out of the way.

Quick answers

How do I get an iPhone mockup with a clear background?

Set Background to Transparent, add your screen, then press Download image. You receive a PNG that has an alpha channel.

Why can't I pick JPEG?

JPEG has no alpha channel, so a transparent background fixes the format to PNG.

Does the shadow survive?

Yes, as a soft semi-transparent shape around the body. Untick Soft shadow to drop it.

Can I drop the PNG into a video?

Yes: put it on a track above your footage. It is a mockup of a screen, so describe it that way if someone could mistake it for something else.

Other frames to try

The maker comes from Flexdger Wallet, a crypto wallet mockup that runs in the browser: you choose the balance, the tokens, the name and the avatar, prices are live, and nothing gets installed. This maker needs no account, and whatever it exports is a picture of a screen, never proof of funds.
