How to Add a Phone Frame to a Video for Free — Framy iPhone mockup guide cover image

Want to add a phone frame to a video for free without hitting a watermark or a paywall? You can do it in the browser in about two minutes. This guide covers the whole thing — upload, pick a model, set the ratio, export clean — with no app to install and no subscription.

What you need

  • A video or screen recording of your app or screen
  • A browser
  • No account, no download

Step 1: Open the editor

Go to the Framy editor. It runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install and nothing to sign up for to get started.

Step 2: Upload your video

Drop your video onto the canvas. It appears inside a real iPhone frame right away. This works for a screen recording, an app capture, or a plain video clip.

Step 3: Pick the phone model

Choose from 35 iPhone models so the frame matches the device you want to show. A Pro model reads premium; a standard model feels approachable. Pick whatever fits your product.

Step 4: Set the ratio

Match the canvas to where the video is going:

DestinationRatio
Reels, TikTok, Shorts, Stories9:16
Website, YouTube16:9
Instagram feed4:5 or 1:1

Step 5: Export for free, no watermark

Export High quality MP4, with your audio preserved. The export is clean — no watermark — so it's ready to post or upload straight away.

Tips

  • Trim first. Cut dead space at the start and end before you frame.
  • Keep UI text large so it stays readable inside the frame on a phone.
  • Pick a contrasting background to make the frame pop.

Why free matters here

A watermark is fine for a rough draft and a problem for anything public — a store listing, a client video, a branded Reel. Framing free and clean means the file you export is the file you can actually use. During early access there are no limits, and there's never a watermark at any tier. That's the point of a free iPhone mockup tool: the export you make is the export you can ship.
