Mockup vs Photoshoot: Which Should You Use?

Mockup and Photoshoot features generate product visuals, but they start from different things. Here's how to pick.

What Mockup Does

  • Place your design onto a product template, like a t-shirt, mug, or box.
  • Good for showing how a design looks on a product before it's made.
  • You don't need a real photo of the product. Just your design.

What Photoshoot Does

  • Takes an actual photo of your real product and turns it into studio-grade visuals.
  • Good for showing your real, finished product in different scenes and settings.
  • You need a real photo of the product to start.

Which One to Use

  • Use Mockup if you're testing a design idea, selling print-on-demand, or don't have the physical product yet.
  • Use Photoshoot if you already have the product in hand and want polished photos for your store or ads.
