Rotato
Rotato creates 3D mockup images and videos from app and web designs displayed on device screens.
What Rotato is
Rotato creates 3D mockup images and videos from app and web designs displayed on device screens. It is aimed at designers, product managers, and developers presenting their work. The library has more than 30 mockups, spanning phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and websites, and the software accepts more than 50 image and video formats. An animation timeline with keyframes supports device animations. A free Figma plugin can render designs as 3D mockups and place 4K renders in Figma. Rotato describes video export at 4K and 60fps, as well as ProRes 4444 with alpha channels. It says designs remain on the user's hard drive rather than going to a server, and describes the product as offline-first. Rotato offers a free plan and trial, and says all features can be tried free without a credit card. Basic, Standard, and Premium each cost $69, paid once, with differing mockup, template, and update inclusions. The desktop app requires macOS; a public browser beta is described as Rotato for Windows.
