About
Canva Mockups is a browser-based mockup generator inside Canva that lets users place images into device, print, apparel, packaging, and other scene templates. It supports mockups created from photos, template-based editing, and export to common formats such as JPG, PNG, PDF, SVG, and PPTX.
The product is part of Canva’s broader design suite, so it inherits Canva’s drag-and-drop editor, collaboration features, autosave, and AI-assisted image editing tools. The free offering is limited to 2,500 mockups for Canva Free users, with watermark-free access on free mockups and broader access available on paid plans.

- Website, book, phone, and T-shirt mockups
- Photo-based mockup generation
- Drag-and-drop Canva editor

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable because it includes up to 2,500 mockups, no watermarks on free mockups, broad file import/export support, and royalty-free personal/commercial use. Canva Pro is $12/month equivalent, so the free offering is worth roughly a quarter of that—about $3/month—because it is capped rather than unlimited and some advanced capabilities are reserved for paid plans. A credit card is not called out as required for the free tier, but the usage cap keeps it well below the paid plan’s full value.
