Screen Simulators

Screen Simulators provide fictional on-screen scenes for videos, presentations, screenshots, and demonstrations. They’re useful for creators, presenters, and anyone who needs a visual prop without putting a real update, meeting, or connection problem on screen.

These browser-based displays are simulations, not system tools: choose a scene that suits your example, then use it as a harmless visual backdrop or prop.

How to choose

Start with the visual your project needs: select an update scene that matches the operating-system style you want to represent, or choose the meeting and no-signal screens for those specific scenarios. The update simulators are props rather than actual system updates, so don’t use them to update a computer or device.

For a staged update that needs timed progress, the Windows-inspired scene includes it. If you need to tailor an Android-style scene, choose that simulator for its settings and duration controls. For a more theatrical look, pick the fictional meeting scene or the retro terminal; use No Signal Screen when the scene calls for a simulated display issue, not to troubleshoot a real connection.

Open a screen fullscreen when you need a broad field of color, or use the display as a simple reference while you work.

Monitor Tests

Monitor Tests help you visually inspect a screen and compare its appearance across display settings. They’re useful when checking a new or secondhand monitor, reviewing a screen you already own, or looking into a visible display concern.Choose a pattern that matches what you want to examine, then use the results as a first-pass visual check rather than a calibrated measurement.

Screensavers

Screensavers give an idle browser display motion, a clear time display, or a distinct visual theme. This collection is useful for people setting up a spare monitor, stream intermission, shared room, or waiting area; the screensavers run locally and pause when the tab is hidden.
