These realistic mockups will also be useful for creating promotional media for your portfolio website, social media posts and YouTube video thumbnails. In this article, we round up some of the best and free iPad mockups to help you showcase your digital design on iPad screens.

It also lets me share my diagrams with others-I often encourage to draw on top of my ideas.Whether it is an iOS app UI, website design or digital art, iPad mockups are a must have in your toolkit for presenting your product design in a professional way to your clients. As Bruno Figueiredo, Designer in Chief of OutSystems says, “I can pick up on my sketches and notes on my laptop later. A refined mockup can feel like an invitation to critique, while a rough sketch is more of a suggestion to build on together. It also sets the right expectations when you share these ideas with others. Working in low fidelity allows you to tease out an idea, iterate, and go back to the drawing board, without focusing too much on the details or the end result. What has surprised us since launching the FigJam beta is just how fluidly users are moving between form factors and jamming on a variety of activities-both alone and together. As Jacques Krzepkowski, Staff Product Designer at Shopify, says, “I have this infinite canvas where I can draw early concepts and do freeform sketching.” When we looked at what people were using FigJam for and held that alongside what the tablet experience offers, we found that FigJam’s open space lends itself to the tactile nature of a tablet. But after introducing FigJam for the more exploratory phases of the design process, and seeing users gravitate to the marker, to the doodle, and to sketch, we understood that tablet is actually a great supplement to the FigJam experience on desktop. Since the early days of Figma, we’ve seen designers using their pen pad to create more low fidelity sketches and annotations. Together, they offer the space to sketch, explore, and iterate in a way that feels intuitive and natural.īringing Figma to tablet has always been something we’ve wanted to do-and something our users have asked for. These qualities make the tablet, and iPad more specifically, conducive for iterating in FigJam, an online whiteboard to ideate solo or collaborate with your team.

And since they’re as tactile and mobile as a notebook, you can jot down ideas and rough sketches wherever you go.

They are built for actually doing just one thing, allowing you to unlock those increasingly elusive focus states. They don’t ask you to constantly toggle between activities. Tablets, on the other hand, are optimized for focused engagement. The desktop demands this kind of endless context switching. With the constant stream of notifications and messages from other apps, it’s hard to stay absorbed in the work when you’re always a ping away from being pulled out of it. Sometimes, no matter what you do, the desktop environment just isn’t conducive to a creative flow. Read on to learn why we built FigJam on iPad, the feedback that drove our approach, and how desktop and tablet go hand in hand.

Available in Figma on the App Store, users across all FigJam plans can edit FigJam files on their iPad.
