Why it works

Designed around how
you actually think.

Most tools make you fight to get started. The drag-and-drop builder gives you device frames and blank canvases you can fill in seconds — then print and think with a pencil.

Drag-and-drop builder

Assemble your layout in seconds.

Drop device frames, sketchpads and component blocks onto your canvas. Resize, rearrange and annotate — then export as a print-ready PDF at true device proportions.

Portrait & Landscape

Print in any orientation.

Switch between portrait and landscape — your layout fits the page perfectly either way.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Is it really free?

Yes — MIT-licensed, no signup, no email. Open the builder, create your mockup, export and print. Use it for client work, classroom work, agency work, side projects. Attribution is appreciated but not required.

Do I need to install anything?

Nothing. The drag-and-drop builder runs entirely in your browser. Open it, build your layout, export as PDF. No account, no download, no setup.

What paper size should I print on?

The builder exports to both A4 and US Letter. Margins are calibrated so device frames land at the same physical size on either paper — pick whichever your printer prefers.

Can I contribute new device frames or components?

Absolutely. The builder's source files live on GitHub. Open a PR with your own device frames, sketchpad styles, or component blocks — the project is built to be extended.

Why not just use Figma?

Use Figma. Use both. The builder is for the first ten minutes of a problem — the part where digital tools quietly punish you for being uncertain. Build the layout, print it, think with a pencil. Then switch to Figma.

Where can I send feedback?

Open an issue on GitHub or post a photo of your sketched-on printout with #printablemockups. Real-world use is the best bug report we get.

Your idea. Your layout.
