MacBook mockup with a 16:10 screen

Landing page heroes, dashboard previews and recording thumbnails call for a laptop. This one is drawn at 16:10 with a camera notch and a slim base around your 2880 × 1800 image.

Sixteen by ten

A laptop screen is wider than it is tall. The display here is 1440 × 900 pt, which is 2880 × 1800 pixels at 2x and a 16:10 shape, and App Store Connect lists 2880 × 1800 among the sizes accepted for Mac apps. That makes the frame a fit for a Mac app listing picture or any desktop capture from a Retina display, because a native capture fills the glass exactly.

A 16:9 capture, such as a video frame, cannot fill this glass without trimming. Fill crops the top and bottom, Fit adds black bars and Stretch distorts, so test which one hides the least of your content before you export. A wide dashboard usually survives Fit well, while a hero photo often looks right under Fill.

Parts of the drawing

The lid carries a black border of 9 pt, a metal edge of 2 pt and a small camera notch at the top of the glass, painted as a 100 × 15 pt tab. Beneath it sits a thin base with a thumb dip, 14 pt deep. The lid measures 1462 × 922 pt and the whole laptop 1564.34 × 936 pt, which exports as 3129 × 1872 px at 2x or 4693 × 2808 px at 3x without padding.

Silver, graphite, deep blue and sand are available. The base takes the same finish with a darker lower edge, so lid and base read as a single object against a gradient or a flat color.

Wallpapers that match the capture

When your capture shows the desktop, a wallpaper at the right pixel size keeps the whole picture crisp. Our wallpaper pages include 2880 × 1800 backgrounds for the Mac: set one, take a capture and drop it here. For a web app mockup, keep the browser window at roughly 80 percent of the screen so the edges of the glass stay visible.

Quick answers

What resolution is a Retina MacBook screenshot?

Mac app screenshots are accepted at 2880 × 1800, equal to 1440 × 900 points at 2x. This frame uses that size.

Is this Apple's MacBook artwork?

No. It is our own drawing of a generic laptop. Not affiliated with Apple.

Will a 16:9 screenshot work?

Yes, through Fit or Fill, though a 16:9 picture will not match the 16:10 glass exactly.

Can the laptop have a transparent background?

Yes. Choose Transparent as the background.

The maker comes from Flexdger Wallet, a crypto wallet mockup that runs in the browser: you choose the balance, the tokens, the name and the avatar, prices are live, and nothing gets installed. This maker needs no account, and whatever it exports is a picture of a screen, never proof of funds.
