Short answer
Screely is a free, simple way to put a screenshot in a macOS or Windows window on a background. If you need more, Screenshot Studio adds device mockups, 3D perspective, annotation, blur, and video export for free; DeviceShots has the biggest free device catalog; and SnapMock adds free perspective presets. Screely is still the quickest option for a plain window frame, and it exports PDF, which most alternatives do not.
Screenshot Studio is our product. Every other tool is listed on its merits, with details checked against the vendor's own site.
