How to create a mockup

Fresh

1. Generate a mockup from scratch

Use this option if you want to start from a prompt:

  1. Open the prompt panel and select Mockup as the generation type (where you switch between Image / Video / etc.).\

  1. Write a prompt describing the product you want to visualize (e.g., “white T-shirt facing forward”).
  2. Press Enter or click the up arrow to generate a mockup-ready image.

Once generated, the image is automatically converted into a mockup frame.

2. Convert an existing image to a mockup

You can also convert any photorealistic image (e.g., a stock photo of a product) into a mockup:

  1. Place the image onto the canvas.
  2. Select the image and in the right panel, click on Convert to mockup.
  3. The image will be converted into a mockup frame.

This method works best with any suitable object in an image, such as T-shirts, cups, packaging, notebooks, etc. You can also generate a product photo in a photorealistic style and convert it the same way.

​ 3. Which tool to use

Choosing the right tool

  • Flat surfaces (T-shirts, tote bags, posters, packaging panels, labels, book covers) → use Nano Banana for the cleanest, most accurate placement.
  • Curved, textured, or complex surfaces (mugs, bottles, crumpled fabric, 3D objects) → use Mockupizer, which wraps your design onto the contours of the product.
