ScreenshotFrames

v1.5.4

ScreenshotFrames is a small CSS library that lets you add browser and device frames around images (screenshots, for example) on an html page. All frames are fully responsive down to the narrowest standard smartphone width. And because every graphic element that resizes is either an svg (e.g. devices) or straight CSS (e.g. browser titlebar backgrounds and borders), the frames will always be crisp no matter how big or small you present them.

Check out the demo pen!
 

Use

Add the screenshot-frames.min.css stylesheet (or screenshot-frames-basics.min.css — see below), and then in the markup wrap the image with a screenshot frame class like

<div class="screenshot-framename">
	<img ... />
</div>

where "framename" is descriptive of the frame (e.g. .screenshot-ipad).

(Of course you can also use the unminified stylesheets, but really they're just included for Bower support.)

Restrictions

The .screenshot-framename must be 100% wide, can't have padding, and can't have any margins other than margin-bottom. Use a wrapping container to control width and margins as necessary.

 

Available Frames

screenshot-frames.min.css supports Chrome™, iPad Air®, iPhone®, Mac® monitor (Thunderbolt display), MacBook®, PC monitor (Dell™ Ultrasharp display), and Safari®.

If you don't need all that, consider using the lighter-weight screenshot-frames-basics.min.css, which only includes support for Safari, iPad, and iPhone.

You can also build your own custom set of frames (requires node): clone or download the repo, edit src/screenshot-frames-custom.less as necessary, and then in the ScreenshotFrames directory run

$ npm install
$ gulp build:custom

(Depending on your setup, you may need to do sudo npm install.) Your custom frame set will be saved as screenshot-frames-custom.min.css.

Contributing

Adding new frames is extremely easy, and PRs are welcome. For each new frame

  • add the stylesheet src/framename/screenshot-frame-framename.less

    • for base64 encoded background images (cf. Safari frame), use
      background-image: url(filepathrelativetostylesheet) (supports png and jpg)
    • for svg background images (cf. iPhone frame), use
      background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,/* svg \*//* endinject */')
    • for mobile and desktop frames, use svg; for browser frames, use whichever is lighter
  • add relevant images and/or svgs to src/framename

  • in src/screenshot-frames-additional.less and src/screenshot-frames-custom.less

    • add the frame class where appropriate
    • import the stylesheet
  • add a demo to demo/demo.html

  • if appropriate, credit the illustrator in the README.md's "Acknowledgments"

Compile with

$ gulp config
$ gulp build
