Make an iPhone home screen widget mockup

Made for doodle widget apps, and it works for any app. Upload a doodle or a drawing, and it shows up in a big widget on an iPhone home screen, so it looks like a real screenshot from your phone. Set the time, the battery, and your app's name, then download a picture that's ready to post on Threads or Instagram. You don't need a real phone, a screenshot, or a photo editor. Sign up free to save it with your own app icon and colours, and every doodle you post will look like part of one series.

Questions about this tool

Can I use my own doodle or drawing?

Yes. Click Upload a photo and pick a JPEG, PNG, or WebP from your phone or computer. A photo of a drawing on paper works, and so does a screenshot from a drawing app. The picture fills the widget, so a square doodle fits best.

Are these real app icons?

Yes. Each icon is drawn to match the real app, such as Instagram, Spotify, TikTok, WhatsApp, and Netflix, with red badges like on a real phone. Each design shows a different set of apps. Each app's name and icon belong to that app's owner.

Can I put my own app icon on the home screen?

Yes. Click Your brand and add your logo, and it becomes your app's icon on the home screen, in your colours.

What size is the home screen picture?

The pink, dark, and mint designs are 1200 × 900 pixels, the square design is 1080 × 1080, and the large widget design is 1080 × 1350. All of them post well on Threads and Instagram. You can download a PNG, JPEG, or WebP.

Can I change the time and the battery?

Yes. Type any time from 0:00 to 23:59, such as 21:12, and a battery level from 0 to 100.

Is this a free iPhone mockup generator?

Yes, for home screens. You don't need to sign up, and you can make up to 5 a day.

Is the iPhone home screen mockup free?

Yes. You can make up to 5 pictures a day on this page with no account. A free account gets 50 credits a month, and one picture uses one credit. Opening the page never spends a credit.
