DeviceStage drops a photo-real device stage onto the page you’re already viewing — live preview, multi-device panels, rotate & export — without docking DevTools or guessing from a skinny viewport resize.
Chrome’s built-in device mode is powerful — and a lot of ceremony for a quick responsive check.
Open Inspect, toggle device toolbar, pick a preset, reload quirks — then close it all again. Mid-review with a client, that friction stacks up.
A skinny browser window doesn’t show notches, status bars, or how the layout feels inside a phone frame stakeholders recognize.
Comparing iPhone vs Pixel vs tablet usually means flipping presets. Side-by-side checks take screenshots or multiple windows.
Same-tab overlay. Photo-real frames. Local by default.
Open any http(s) page, click the icon, and your site renders inside real phone and tablet frames — exact CSS viewports.
Run panels side by side. Rigid rotate keeps the site upright while the frame turns portrait ↔ landscape.
Export PNG or copy a share-ready preview to the clipboard. No account. Previews stay local unless you choose Export or Share.
Captured from the actual extension UX — not mocked marketing UI.
DeviceStage layers a full stage over the current tab. Pick a device, fit the frame, and keep working without leaving the page.
Compare layouts across phones at once — e.g. iPhone 15 Pro beside Pixel 8 — with live metrics overlays when you need them.
One-click rotate flips the frame while keeping the site orientation sensible — useful when checking landscape breakpoints and sticky headers.
A short walkthrough from the real product shots.
Add DeviceStage from the Chrome Web Store. Navigate to any http(s) site you want to preview.
The same-tab overlay opens with a photo-real frame. Pick a device, Add more panels, Rotate, or Fit.
Export a PNG or copy a share-ready preview to the clipboard. Close the overlay when you’re done — nothing uploaded by default.
Different jobs — DeviceStage is for quick visual checks with real frames.
