Our free Mockup Generator allows you to upload your design and see a highly realistic mockup preview of how the final product will look once printed. The Mockup Generator can be used as a part of the product creation process, or independently – feel free to play around with it to test out new design ideas.

Follow the steps below to create your custom product with our free Printify Mockup Generator.

Step 1: Choose a product

Log into your Printify account, navigate to our catalog and choose the product you wish to customize. Click Start designing for your chosen print provider.

Step 2: Upload a design

Choose how you will add your design:

Upload a design from your computer, Dropbox account, or Google Drive
Add a custom text design using the Text Editor
Choose an image from the Shutterstock image library
Find free designs in our Mockup Generator Graphics Library

Note

A maximum of 5 layers (designs) can be added to each print area.

For excellent print quality, make sure your image matches the recommended dimensions and resolution shown in the side panel. In case you have a low-resolution design that you want to use, we’ll automatically enhance the quality of the print file before sending the order to production so that it’s more suitable for printing.

Step 3: Adjust the size and placement

Once the design is up, adjust its size and placement. Use the side panel to select your preferred alignment.

Note

The alignment tool will adjust the alignment of your entire design file. Make sure that your main design elements are centered within the file.

Step 4: Choose the product colors

By default, your design will be applied to one color variant. Click on the All colors menu to select more color options for your product. All sizes of the selected colors will be automatically added to the product.
To learn more about what happens when a product variant goes out of stock, click here. However, if you’d like to make adjustments to the size options or check the pricing/stock availability, click on Prices & variants just above.

You can also create a single product with different designs.

Step 5: Preview the mockup

After you complete the design process, click Preview to see a realistic mockup image of your design on the different color variants.

Step 6: Save the product

Lastly, click Save product. To make your product available to customers, you’ll need to connect your eCommerce store to Printify.
