About Mobile View — Mobile Simulator & Preview

Mobile View — a mobile simulator that shows your site on desktop and mobile at the same time. Unlike a basic mobile simulator or mobile emulator, Mobile View drops a real phone or tablet frame right on top of the page you’re on — so you watch both views live at once: the normal desktop site and its mobile (adaptive) layout. No more shrinking the window or opening DevTools: one click and both layouts are in front of you. See your site on iPhone, Android and tablets, compare up to 5 devices side by side, and get a fast mobile view and mobile preview of any page. It works as a mobile simulator and responsive design tester right inside your browser tab. Perfect for developers, designers, freelancers and anyone who does responsive design testing, checks responsive layouts, browses mobile websites, prepares demos for a client or employer, and wants to save time. KEY FEATURES 📱 Multiple devices — run the mobile simulator on 2–5 phones and tablets at once, each with its own device, size and color 🖥️📱 Desktop and mobile view at the same time — both layouts visible at once, no switching 🔄 Synced scrolling, clicks and typing between the desktop page and the mobile preview 🎬 One-click screen recording (MP4/WebM, up to 1080p) — for client/employer presentations, demos and tutorials 📸 Screenshots: device only (cropped to the frame) or the full view 🔁 Rotate to landscape and scale 50–125%, just like a real phone 📐 Custom size — set any resolution and pick the interface type (no OS / iOS / old iOS / Android) 🎯 Focus mode — dim the desktop and center the device for a clean demo; lock it so a click or Esc won’t exit 🌗 Light and dark interface themes ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts for devices, screenshots, focus and recording ALSO ➡️ Many real devices: iPhone, Android phones and tablets (more added over time) ➡️ Realistic bezels, status bars and browser UI — like a real device ➡️ Zero setup, minimal by design — the mobile simulator works in one click, with no options to tweak and nothing to configure ➡️ Settings (device, theme, language, zoom, position) saved across tabs and reloads ➡️ Interface in 50 languages ➡️ Privacy-first: nothing is collected, tracked or sent anywhere — everything runs locally in your browser, no login and no account This Chrome extension doesn’t replace final testing on a real device, but this mobile simulator saves a lot of time at every step and makes showing your responsive design look great.
