Upload only artwork you created or have the rights to use. Your file is stored temporarily so the mockup service can read it and build your image.

How to

How to make a t-shirt mockup

Four steps. The render itself takes about a minute.

  1. 01

    Prepare the design

    Export the artwork as a PNG with a transparent background, as large as you have it. A JPG keeps its background as a solid block on the shirt.

  2. 02

    Pick the color and view

    Match the shirt color to the variant you sell. Flat lay and studio front make the clearest first photo; the model views work as the second or third.

  3. 03

    Create the mockup

    Add a placement note only when you need one, such as a small left-chest print. The note moves and sizes the print; it never redraws your design.

  4. 04

    Download and list

    Without an account you get a watermarked preview to judge the result. A free account downloads the full-size file for the listing.

Guide

What makes a t-shirt mockup sell

Placement that matches a real print

On this shirt the design sits on the front chest, centered, its top edge about 3 inches below the collar and at most about 11 inches wide: where a direct-to-garment print lands on a standard unisex tee. A tall design keeps the same top edge and gets narrower. If your file carries a lot of empty space around the artwork, trim it first, or the print will look smaller than it will on the real shirt.

Show the color you ship

The blank photos are white, and any other color is dyed in by the model. Light artwork needs a dark shirt and dark artwork a light one. A buyer who orders navy from a black-shirt photo may ask for a refund, so make a mockup for each color in the thumbnail, and ideally for every color you offer.

Which view goes first

  • Flat lay and studio front show the whole print: the safest first photo in search results.
  • On a woman and on a man show fit and the size of the print on a body.
  • Folded and on a hanger add variety when many designs share the same blank.

Before you list

Etsy recommends listing photos at least 2000 px on the shortest side, so download the full-size mockup rather than taking a screenshot. Every mockup is an AI render: folds and light change from run to run, so check the print edges at full size before you upload. Use only artwork you made or have the rights to sell.

FAQ

Questions about t-shirt mockups

Is this t-shirt mockup generator free?
Yes, to try. Without an account you get 1 free preview a day, watermarked and up to 512 px, shared by every Studio tool. A free account downloads the full-size mockup: it comes with 10 credits a month and a mockup uses 6, so one mockup a month. No card needed.
Which t-shirt does the mockup show?
A unisex crew-neck tee in the style of the Bella+Canvas 3001, a blank many print on demand shops sell. It comes in 9 colors: white, black, heather grey, navy, sand, forest green, maroon, light pink and light blue.
Can I make a shirt mockup on a model?
Yes. Pick the On a woman or On a man view. The model wears the shirt in the color you chose, with your design on the chest.
Can the design go on the back or a sleeve?
Not yet. The views show the front of the shirt, so the design goes on the chest. A placement note can make it smaller or move it to the left chest.
What file gives the cleanest result?
A PNG with a transparent background, in the largest size you have. Only the artwork lands on the shirt, with no box around it. Run a JPG through the background remover first.
Can I use the mockups in my Etsy listings?
Yes, they are made for listing photos. Show the shirt color and the design you actually ship, and use only artwork you own or have a license for.
