Screely has closed. Here's a free alternative.
The same one-step browser frame Screely did, free and with no signup, plus capture from a link, 45 devices, real 3D models and callouts. Switch in under a minute.
Free to start. No signup to try. Nothing stamped on your exports.
Why people look for a Screely alternative
Screely made one job quick: drop a screenshot in and get it back inside a browser window on a coloured background. The screely.com address no longer hosts that tool, so if it was part of your routine you need somewhere else to do the same thing.
DudeShots does that job on the free plan with no account: eight browser windows (Safari and Chrome in light and dark, Firefox, Arc and two minimal ones), a backdrop, a shadow and a PNG out. Paste a link instead of a file and it captures the page for you.
When you want more than a window, it is there: MacBooks, monitors, phones, tablets and watches, every device as a 3D model on Pro that you can turn and tilt, backdrops that take their colours from your screenshot, and callouts you type straight onto the image. Pro is £45 a year or £5 a month.
What you get beyond a browser frame
How to use the screely alternative
- 01
Open the studio
The button above opens it with a browser window ready, the way Screely started. No account.
- 02
Drop in your screenshot
Or paste a link and it captures the page for you, which Screely never did.
- 03
Pick a backdrop and export
A colour, a gradient or one made from your screenshot's colours, then a PNG at 2×. Nothing stamped on it.
Screely alternative features
Capture from a link
Paste an address and the page lands on the canvas, captured at desktop size for a browser, MacBook or monitor (as wide as the monitor's screen) and at phone size for a phone or watch. The visible screen is free; every fold, each section or the full page is Pro.
45 devices, flat and 3D
Eight browser windows, five MacBooks, eight monitors, ten phones, nine tablets and five watches, all free as flat frames. On Pro each one is also a real 3D model you turn and tilt. A new account gets a free Pro week to try every 3D device.
Backdrops from your shot
Over 30 styles, with a new one most weeks: studio light, mesh blends, patterns, grown and poured Liquid shapes, and ones made from the screenshot itself. Colours can come straight from your shot, with a grain or paper texture and a light you drag into place. At least 13 are free.
Callouts on the canvas
Headline, tape sticker, note with an arrow, badge, big number, chat bubble, hand-drawn ring and tooltip. Drag, resize, turn and type on the image itself. 3 on Free.
Every size, and your own
41 canvas presets, from a 1200 × 630 link preview to App Store and Instagram sizes, or type a custom size. PNG, JPEG or WebP at up to 2× on Free and 3× on Pro.
Presets, a pinned mark, a team
Save a whole setup as a preset, pin your watermark so it is on every shot, and share both with a team, with no per seat price: starting one is Pro, joining is free. Saved watermarks and more than three presets are Pro.

Straight answers.
- Is DudeShots free like Screely?
- Yes. Framing a screenshot in a browser window, picking a backdrop and exporting a PNG at 2× are free, with no signup. Nothing is ever stamped on your exports. Make an account and your first week is Pro, 3D devices included. Pro is £45 a year or £5 a month.
- What does DudeShots do that Screely didn't?
- It captures a page from its URL, frames shots in MacBooks, monitors, phones, tablets and watches as well as browsers, turns every device in 3D on Pro, builds backdrops from your screenshot's colours, and lets you type callouts onto the image.
- Is Screely still around?
- The screely.com domain no longer hosts the screenshot tool. We can't speak for where its makers took it, so check before you rely on an old link.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Open the studio, frame, export. An account is only needed for Pro.
- I used Screely for blog and docs images. Will these look the same?
- Yes: a clean browser window with a coloured background and a soft shadow is the default look. Pick Safari or Chrome, light or dark, type the URL you want in the address bar, and export.
