What a website mockup video is for
A website mockup video shows a live site inside a realistic device, in motion. It is the difference between telling someone "we built this" and letting them feel the site scroll, animate and respond. Designers use them in portfolios and on social, agencies in case studies and proposals, founders in launch posts, hero sections and pitch decks.
Traditionally you would screen-record the site, crop it, hunt for a device frame, sync the footage in an editor and render each format separately. Mockvid collapses that whole pipeline into one paste.
One render, every deliverable
- MP4 (H.264) for LinkedIn, Instagram, X, decks and anywhere else.
- WebM for lightweight web embedding.
- Animated GIF for READMEs, Product Hunt galleries and emails.
- Animated WebP, far lighter than GIF for the same loop.
- Transparent video with a true alpha channel, to composite the floating device over any background in your own edits or site.
- PNG stills for thumbnails and covers.
- Live 3D link: a shareable, embeddable viewer that renders the actual 3D scene in the visitor's browser.
Free exports are 720p WebM. A one-time unlock per domain opens 1080p, 2K and 4K at up to 60fps, plus every format above, with no watermark.

Open the generator →Real 3D staging, not a flat frame
Mockvid renders an actual 3D scene: laptop and phone models with matte, glossy or glass finishes, studio lighting presets, floor reflections, screen glare, tilt-shift and nine directed camera motions, from a slow float to multi-shot sequences with real cuts and an end card. You art-direct the scene live, frame by frame, then export.
Because the capture comes from a real browser session, everything that moves on the site (scroll animations, parallax, video backgrounds) is preserved in the video. A frozen screenshot never shows that; a recording does.

FAQ
Do I have to record my screen?
No. Mockvid opens the URL in a real browser on its own servers and records the scroll for you, on desktop and mobile viewports at once. If a site blocks automated capture, you can upload your own clip as a fallback.
How long does it take?
Capture typically takes under a minute, staging is live and interactive, and exports render in your browser. From URL to finished MP4 is usually two to three minutes.
Can I add text, a logo and music?
Yes. Animated title overlays with Google Fonts, your logo, a soundtrack and a custom backdrop (color, gradient or your own image) are all built in.
Who owns the exported videos?
You do. Exports are yours to use commercially: client deliverables, ads, decks, social, anywhere.
