Turn app, website and SaaS interfaces into composed images and motion with the camera, lighting, depth and finish of a product shoot.
Free to start in your browser. No account needed.
Made in Ultramock
Real exports from the editor: interfaces lit, framed and moved like a product shoot.
Treat the interface like the product
Physical products are photographed through choices about angle, light, focus and setting. Software can be presented with the same care, starting from the screens people actually use.
Start with real screens
Use the interface you designed or built as the source. The presentation adds context without replacing or redrawing the product.
Direct the camera
Choose the perspective, crop and focus around the part of the interface you want people to understand first.
Build a visual system
Carry one considered treatment across stills and motion for a launch, website, portfolio or presentation.
How it works
Begin with a screen worth showing, then make each presentation choice support the product rather than compete with it.
Bring in the interface
Upload or paste a screenshot or recording, or capture a browser tab with the Ultramock Chrome extension.
Compose the product shot
Use a 3D device or Flat mode, then shape the camera, background, lighting, focus and finish around the screen.
Create the finished assets
Export an image, or add camera movement and multiple shots for a product video built from the same visual direction.
The controls behind a software product shot
The photographic language is familiar. Ultramock applies it to digital products in a browser workflow built around screens.
Camera, light and depth
Control how the product occupies the frame and where the viewer looks, while judging every choice against the legibility of the interface.
- Camera tilt, roll, zoom, field of view and pan
- Light rigs, backgrounds, shadows and reflections
- Depth of field with focus and falloff controls
Still and moving compositions
Use the same product screens for a single hero image, a set of supporting visuals or a paced motion sequence.
- 3D devices or device-free Flat mode
- Poses, keyframes, easing and multi-shot timelines
- Image and video exports for websites, launches and portfolios
Ultramock has massively helped with the speed and quality of our feature releases. Before Ultramock, we could only produce high quality visuals for the most important features. Now, we can produce beautiful product visuals in a fraction of the time.
What is product photography for software?
Product photography for software is the practice of presenting an app, website or SaaS interface with the composition, camera, lighting, focus and finish normally associated with a product shoot. The subject is the real product screen. The surrounding device, scene and motion give it context and presence.
Questions, answered
Is software product photography the same as a device mockup?
A device mockup is one possible treatment. Software product photography is the broader presentation job: choosing the screen, composition, light, depth and, where useful, motion. A flat interface can be the right result when a device would distract from it.
Do I have to put the interface on a phone or laptop?
No. Flat mode removes the device so an app, website or SaaS screen can be composed and animated on its own.
Can I create both product images and videos?
Yes. Ultramock supports still-image and video workflows. Free and Pro have different export allowances, dimensions, frame rates and watermark conditions.
