In seconds, create a realistic proof-of-concept mockup using the Canva desktop app or browser experience. Then upload to Shopify or Etsy.

Use the Canva Mockups app to drop graphic designs into a template. This is where you can visualize your designs as products, especially if you want to sell online.

You have amazing and unique ideas. But how to bring them to life?

Canva has an app called Mockups with template photos you can use to transform the concepts in your head into real-world product mockups. This is also great from making T-shirts from your visual designs including photos, illustrations, graphics, word art, etc.

The Canva Mockups app has 10 categories of templates. The template above is from the Apparel category. It has 27 templates you can use for creating mockups of T-shirts. I made this one in seconds.

Once you’re logged in to your account, the Canva homepage will look slightly different depending on whether you are using the desktop app, browser, or the mobile app — and the type of subscription you have.

If you are using Canva exclusively in the mobile app, I have a separate article coming.
