How to make a t-shirt mockup

Upload your design in the box above to see it on every t-shirt at once, pick one to place, scale and recolor the print, then download the PNG or open it in Playyy.

Three real t-shirts side by side in white, heather gray and black, each with the same mountain badge graphic on the chest and fabric wrinkles visible through the print

Real t-shirt mockup photos, ready for your art

The Mockups panel in the Playyy editor (Elements → Mockups) holds dozens of t-shirt mockup photos. Insert one, then drop your design onto it, or drag an image that is already on the canvas onto the shirt. The fabric folds and wrinkles show through the print, so a mountain badge on a white, heather gray or black tee reads as a real printed garment. Put several mockups on one page and you can compare colorways side by side before you pick the ones to sell.

Place, scale and rotate the print

Double-click the mockup to place the print. Drag the graphic to move it, pull a corner handle to scale it, and use the top handle to rotate it. The Print size menu gives you two quick starting points: Recommended size for a balanced placement, or Fill print area to cover the whole printable zone. Change the shirt color with the color picker and the folds, wrinkles and shadows stay in place while your print stays exactly as you designed it.

Export listing images for your store

When the mockup looks right, export it as PNG or JPG for product listings, or as a PDF for proofs and approvals. Several images download together as a ZIP, which keeps a full set of colorways in one file. A black tee with a line-art cat print becomes the main listing photo, with the white and gray versions behind the color swatches. Mockups render the same in Playyy presentations and published sites, so your launch page and store share one set of shots.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a t-shirt mockup?+

Open the Playyy editor and go to Elements → Mockups. Insert a t-shirt, then drop your design onto it or drag an image from the canvas onto the shirt. Double-click to place the print, drag to move it, pull a corner to scale and use the top handle to rotate. Pick a shirt color, then export the mockup as PNG, JPG or PDF.

Is the t-shirt mockup generator free?+

Yes. Uploading your design, previewing it on every t-shirt and placing and recoloring the print all run free in your browser, so you can try it before signing up. A free Playyy account downloads the mockup as a PNG at the template's full size, or opens it in Playyy to keep editing next to your other designs.

Can I change the color of the t-shirt?+

Yes. Select the mockup and use the color picker to change the shirt color. The folds, wrinkles and shadows stay in place, so the tee keeps its real fabric look, and your print stays exactly as you placed it. Add a few mockups to one page to show white, heather gray, black and any other colorway together.

What size should my design be on a t-shirt mockup?+

Use the Print size menu for a fast start. Recommended size gives a balanced placement on the chest, and Fill print area stretches the design to cover the full printable zone. From there you can fine-tune by dragging the corner handles. Upload your artwork at a good resolution so the print looks sharp in the exported image.

Can I use these shirt mockups to sell on Etsy or Shopify?+

Yes. The mockups you make are yours to use commercially, including product listings on Etsy, Shopify and print-on-demand stores. Export PNG or JPG images sized for your listings, and use the same mockups in launch pages and presentations. Make sure the artwork itself is yours to sell.

What file formats can I export t-shirt mockups in?+

You can export PNG or JPG at 1x or 2x, and several images download together as a ZIP. PDF export works well for sharing proofs and approvals. Mockups also render the same inside Playyy presentations and published sites, so one set of shirt images covers your store, your launch page and your pitch.

Do I need Photoshop to make a shirt mockup?+

Playyy handles the whole job in your browser. The mockup photos, print placement, shirt recoloring and export all live in the Playyy editor, so you can go from a finished graphic to listing images in a few minutes, on any computer.
