A mockup is an artistic showcase or rendering of a product or design. It is typically laid out in a setting that represents how a product is meant to look in real life and how it’s meant to be used. A mockup can come in different formats, which may feature a plain backdrop or scenery, a flatlay, or a scene. It may or may not include human models.

How much does Canva’s mockup generator cost?

As a Canva Free user, you can create and use up to 2,500 mockups for free. If you exceed this total number of generations, you will need a Canva Pro account to generate and use more mockups.

What kind of mockups can I create?

You’ll also get mockups for fashion items like T-shirts and other apparel. Other mockups include those for home decor, packaging, and even tech products like your own website or app.

What are the best practices for making a mockup?

Here are some tips to make a great product mockup: Keep your target audience in mind and how they might use your product. Include mobile-friendly mockups in your roster of designs, as most people do their shopping and research on smartphones. Avoid mockup settings that could clash with your product. Add a human element to make your mockup more inviting. Match the resolution of your product photo with your mockup.

What is the difference between mockups and wireframes?

A mockup is a realistic rendering of a product within a setting or scene. It’s designed to show the audience how a product should look in real life and how it’s meant to be used. A wireframe, on the other hand, is a simple black-and-white rendering of a product in 2D, simply giving the audience a rough idea of how a product is proposed to look like.

The Canva mockup generator works on all mobile, tablet, and desktop devices on Android and iOS.

What about privacy? Are my designs safe?

Yes, your designs are safe with Canva Mockups. Your designs are always private, proprietary, and they remain your creative property.

What am I allowed to use the exported images for?

Because all generated images on Canva Mockups are royalty-free for use in personal and commercial projects, you’re allowed to modify or edit the mockup in a way that suits your needs and vision. What you’re prohibited from doing is reselling or redistributing the exported images as your own new mockups or images. Canva will not be legally liable in the case of misuse of these images.

Will my mockup have a watermark?

If you’re a free Canva user, you can access free mockups without watermarks. If you’re a Canva Pro, Teams, EDU, and NFP user, you’ll be able to access all Canva mockups without watermarks. If you’re on the free Canva Pro trial, your mockups may come with watermarks.
