Garments

Real product photos

No cartoon shirt outlines. Your design lands on photographed blanks with real fabric, so the mockup looks like something you could post today.

Placements

Named print positions

Center chest, left chest, full front. Each placement is sized to real DTF dimensions, so what you preview is what your press produces.

Ink simulation

See the real print

DTF inks shift vivid colors slightly, and dark shirts need a white ink underbase. The studio simulates both, so there are no surprises at the heat press.

How it works

1

Upload your design

Drop any PNG, JPG, or WebP. Transparent PNGs look best. If your file has a background, our free Print Ready scanner removes it first.

2

Pick garment and placement

Choose a garment photo, then a named placement like Center Chest or Left Chest. Resize, tilt, and switch backdrop scenes until it looks right.

3

Download your mockup

Download instantly for free (with a small watermark), or go Pro for clean files. Then send the design itself to Print Ready to prep it for the press.

Why a DTF-specific mockup tool?

DTF (Direct to Film) transfers behave differently from screen printing and embroidery. Your design is printed onto a special film, then heat-pressed onto the garment. Transparent areas in your file become invisible on the shirt, which is why a tool that correctly handles transparent PNG files matters so much.

Generic mockup generators flatten transparency incorrectly and show colors your inks cannot print. This studio is built around how DTF actually works: the white ink underbase on dark fabric, the slight ink color shift, and real print-size placements.

Frequently asked questions

Is the mockup generator really free?

Yes. Uploading a design, picking a garment and placement, and downloading a mockup is free for everyone, no account needed. Free downloads include a small watermark. Pro users ($19/month) get watermark-free downloads.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You can generate and download mockups without signing up. An account only matters if you want watermark-free downloads (Pro) or want to pull designs from your saved image library.

What garments and placements can I choose?

Every garment in the studio is a real product photo, not an illustration. Each one has named print placements like Center Chest, Left Chest, or Full Front, set to real-world DTF sizing. You can also switch backdrop scenes, resize, and tilt your design.

Why do my colors look slightly different in the preview?

That is the ink simulation working. DTF inks cannot reproduce every screen color: neons and very vivid tones compress slightly in print. The studio previews that shift, and simulates the white ink underbase used on dark fabric, so the mockup matches the shirt your customer actually receives. You can toggle it off any time.

What file types are supported?

PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF. For the best result use a PNG with a transparent background. If your image has a white background, run it through our free Print Ready scanner to remove it first.

Can I use the mockups in my Etsy listings?

Yes. Download your mockup and use it in any Etsy listing, social post, or customer proof. Pro users get a clean, watermark-free file ready to publish.

What is DTF printing?

DTF (Direct to Film) is a printing method where your design is printed onto a special film and heat-pressed onto a garment. It works on any fabric color, including black shirts, which makes it popular for custom apparel and small print runs.
