Quickly generate product screenshots in realistic environments

This is a more of a rant on an overall trend than criticism of this site completely, but I honestly do not understand the "drag to upload a file" interaction at all.I'm in all likelihood going to need to navigate through a bunch of folders to locate what I want to upload anyway - why force me to open up Finder, reposition it so that my browser and finder are both visible, with the "drop area" visible as well, find my file and drag it over? With the default file upload that HTML provides, it's going to open a conveniently sized open window from the start, with a clear call to action on how to select the file in question, and no requirement for an awkward drag into some box on a webpage.It really feels like prioritizing "cool" interactions over usability.

This should save a lot of people a lot of time. FYI it's all done under Creative Commons license allowing commercial use of the images.

This is fantastic. I'm surprised I haven't seen something like this before. I think you've got a great potential market here for monetizing. It's like stock photography meets product upsell.My first suggestion would be to get similar shots to those you've already done with a female replacing the male. It's an easy way to add more shots quickly.I also like the idea of more scenes including people. Make it look like they're having fun and also using the phone/tablet at the same time. Smiling faces sell products!

Thanks for sharing, I'll be using it on my revamped marketing site.I think in terms of conversion, potential users emphatically see themselves using the product with their device with this type of frame (opposed just a screenshot with no device frame).However, I would suggest several PC shots. Like Lenovo laptop, Dell monitor, etc instead of being so Apple-centric.

I was trying to find screen reflection :)The iPhone 5 screenshot area is off. Top left corner too high, top right corner too close to the right, two bottom corners too close to the right so perspective looks incongruent.Actually content areas in almost all templates are slightly off. All these screens have gaps around them, it’s chrome - bezel - screen gap - pixels. Consider shooting template images with the device showing a solid color so you have the actual image area baked into the original, not with the screen turned off because you’re more likely to get the placement wrong that way.

Found it on HN on January and... Why it's free?!I would be glad to pay for each screenshot generated because saves plenty of time and simply makes presentations look way better.There is a channel (you already have it), there is a real problem to be solved and it's something people would pay... Sounds brilliant :)

Only Apple products there - why tailor to the minority? Globally Apple has around twenty-something percent of smartphones, thirty-something percent of tablets and ten-something percent of 'PC's'. You wouldn't suspect if you looked at the media though where it often is Apple or bust. I never understood this herd mentality and I still don't. People will start dropping Android screenshots in your iProducts, Xmonad runninng on Macs (OK, that is plausible but still...), Windows will suddenly magically run on more iProducts, etc.Diversity is good. Apple is not very diverse. Why not add something else?

Isn't working for me right now...possibly server load? But great idea. I too would pay. And I second the suggestion for more diversity in the shots. E.g., I could use one right now in the hands of a Hispanic teen girl. In general, I would need more women.

If you do an image search on google you can actually find companies which are using them... for example:<a href="http://sobytes.com/world-news-translate-piechart-news-option/" rel="nofollow">http://sobytes.com/world-news-translate-piechart-news-option...</a>( Did the image search with this one: <a href="http://placeit.breezi.com/uploads/stage/stage_image/113/breezi_placeit_17.png" rel="nofollow">http://placeit.breezi.com/uploads/stage/stage_image/113/bree...</a> )

I used this for a mock that I posted on Dribbble[1]. I remember when it was first released and there were only a few templates so it's great to see that it's still growing. If the OP is here, how hard would it be to have a scene with multiple images?[1] - <a href="http://dribbble.com/shots/1023533-Moneys-Mobile-Digital-Wallet?list=following" rel="nofollow">http://dribbble.com/shots/1023533-Moneys-Mobile-Digital-Wall...</a>

It looks very nice.Is it possible to add glare/reflection to the actual screen? It would make it look more 'integrated' into the photo's surroundings.

I created an opensource alternative a few months back, called snappshot. (<a href="https://github.com/justinjudd/snappshot" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/justinjudd/snappshot</a>)Right now I have just posted my own images, but my goal is to get other photographers/individuals to add photos of different devices.I am updating my webserver right now, but for now you can run it locally or deploy it yourself.

Brilliant. Bookmarked.Would love some Windows-y machines as well, all laptops are Macs. (Which is what I use, but still live in a world of Windows laptops)

I love breezi. Unfortunately, it is against Apple's marketing guidelines to use their product in unauthorized ways to promote your app. It is loosely enforced, but they have pointed it out to us and asked for a takedown (politely). They can also hold it against you if they're considering you for a feature.

Looks great, but it's taking forever to process the image. And I'm sure that because the app provides no feedback or indication that your image is queued, people are probably stopping the process and re-trying their upload which probably only slows things down tremendously!

ohwp将近 12 年前

Why not transform the image on the client side? It will save load on the server.But it's a nice idea!

enraged_camel将近 12 年前

I really want to share this with people, but it's horrendously slow. I uploaded a 2048 x 1536 image generated from my iPad, and it has been processing it for the past 10+ minutes.edit: over 20 minutes now. I had to restart it.

philjackson将近 12 年前

Amazing. Thanks for sharing this. I'd been searching for stock images like the ones offered here in which to superimpose screenshots but always came short so just didn't bother. Now I'll bother.

mgkimsal将近 12 年前

nice idea. i can see people paying for this to use some premium background images. 3-4 generic ones are free, you could offer up a lot more custom ones for a small fee.

I do wonder if something bad happens if you try to screenshot the screenshot script url, being a get request and all.

Can I have one context photo with a laptop on the top of a roller coster ? This could be a good introduction for a VC or startup conference presentation.I would suggest to provide HP or Dell computers too because Apple computer everywhere is getting boring. Ask them to giveaway the laptop as marketing campaing.

triplenineteen将近 12 年前

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you are sending a Safari user-agent string for all of the devices.It might be worthwhile to send the proper user-agent strings for each device, so that you'll get a custom response from servers which dynamically generate content based on that header.

awesome service!any chance of getting a good ol' boring office version maybe with a real monitor or just a laptop on a desk? the kind of people i would use this for really dont go for "macbook air with a notepad in the garden"

ceeK将近 12 年前

Awesome. I was just the other day thinking that there should be this exact service when considering doing one of these shots. This is going to save me a lot of time, thank you. Will be much easier to create marketing assets.

I'm guessing it takes a higher resolution image than what the device would use? The sites I tried ended up rendering wrong in terms of what media queries were used...
