AI mockup prompts for your designs

A mockup shows your design on a real object, which is what buyers and clients want to see. These prompts put your artwork, logo or screenshot on a t-shirt worn by a person, a hoodie, a tote bag, a ceramic mug, a framed poster, a wall in a room, a 3D book cover, a billboard, a shop sign or a laptop screen.

Upload your design as the first image (and a product or scene photo as the second where the prompt asks). The prompts ask for realistic folds, light and perspective and accurate print colours.

How to use it

Three steps, about a minute

  1. 1

    Export your design as a PNG on a plain or transparent background.

  2. 2

    Upload the design first and the product or scene photo second, then paste the prompt and fill in colour and size.

  3. 3

    Zoom in on the print. If text or colours changed, regenerate or fix them in your design app.

Make it yours

  • Plain base: a plain t-shirt or mug photo gives the cleanest mockup.
  • Size: "centred on the chest, about 25 cm wide" or "small logo on the left chest".
  • Scene: put the poster or wall art in a room that matches your buyer: a kids' room, a cafe, a studio.
  • Set: make the same design on 3 products for a shop listing.

If it goes wrong

The design changed
Reply "keep my design exactly as in the first image: same colours, text and proportions".
It looks printed on top, not on the fabric
Ask for "follow the fabric folds and lighting".
Text is misspelled
Use a simpler design or add the text in your design app afterwards.
Wrong perspective on a wall or sign
Say "match the angle and perspective of the wall".

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can AI make a t-shirt mockup from my design?

Yes. Upload your design and a photo of a plain t-shirt or a person wearing one, then paste the t-shirt mockup prompt with the colour and size.

Will the design stay exactly the same?

Simple designs usually do. Fine text and small details can change, so zoom in and compare with your file before you use the mockup to sell.

Can I use AI mockups in my shop?

Yes, as previews of your design. Make sure the real product looks the same, and check the print-on-demand service's colours.
