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.
You’re completely ok to use PlaceIt-generated-images for commercial use. You just need to attribute PlaceIt if the work is publicly displayed. We’re ok with any attribution so long as you’re clearly not trying to be an asshole and just burying it. Doesn’t have to be large or very prominent either. Anything along the lines of mentioning PlaceIt is fine. We’d obviously really appreciate a link back.
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.
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.
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!
"Hands holding photoshop-able screens in environments" is rich photographic territory. I would also love to see fat hairy hands, dark-skinned hands, waxy old hands, prosthetic hands, etc.
I'd love this as a webservice (I'd pay). I need to create product shots for every customer I have (white labelling) and it would be awesome to be able to generate them on the fly.
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.
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?
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.
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?
Surely it would make more sense to group them? If I'm going to be creating a universal application for iOS, it would be much easier to see all the available options.
That said, I do think the other platforms should be given some sort of visibility to show that they're actually present.
- Apple hardware looks better (regardless of what you think of the rest of it)
- Apple hardware is less distracting (more minimalist than most non-Apple stuff) so the focus is on the product itself
- Apple has the single most common hardware models (Android may be more common overall, but the iPhone is more popular than any single Android device).
I mean really, who wants to have their app surrounded by some clunky boxy Dell laptop? You're basically sending the message of "look at how out-of-date we are". It's not about market share of devices, it's about perception of your product.
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"

(I realize there are one or two Android and Windows phones in the list, but still...)
Otherwise: I like it!

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)
But it's a nice idea!
We're sorry, but something went wrong.
We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.
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 :)

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.
edit: over 20 minutes now. I had to restart it.

It's not just about looks, y'know.
