Why print-on-demand sellers are switching from Placeit to MockupHQ

Placeit lets you browse templates. MockupHQ generates original designs with AI — then places them on mockups automatically. That's a fundamentally different product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do designs expire?+

No. Designs never expire — buy once, use whenever you need them.

Do you offer refunds?+

Yes. We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked.

Do you give only the design, or place it on mockups too?+

Both. MockupHQ generates the print-ready design (transparent PNG) and automatically places it on product mockups — t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and more — ready to upload to your listings.

Can I use my own mockup photos?+

Yes. Upload your own mockup images, define the placement zone, and MockupHQ places your designs onto them in bulk.

Can I use the designs commercially?+

Yes. Every design comes with a full commercial license. Sell on Etsy, Amazon, Shopify — no royalties or attribution required.

What file format do I get?+

High-resolution PNG with a transparent background, ready for DTF printing, screen printing, or any POD platform.

How long does it take to generate a design?+

Under 60 seconds for most requests. Gemini AI creates the original artwork, then background removal and 4K upscaling run automatically in the same pipeline.

Can I revise a design I'm not happy with?+

Yes. Every plan includes at least one free revision per design. Describe what you'd like changed and the AI re-generates based on your feedback.

How does batch generation work?+

Enter a list of prompts — or let the AI suggest variations on a theme — set your quantity, and MockupHQ generates all designs in parallel. Download everything as a ZIP when it's done.

What niches work best with MockupHQ?+

Any niche that sells on POD platforms — animal lovers, sports fans, funny quotes, holiday themes, vintage aesthetics, family gifts, and more. The AI generates original artwork for any prompt, so the limit is your imagination.

Does MockupHQ generate multiple color variants?+

Yes. Once your design is placed on a mockup template, MockupHQ can render it across every available product color automatically — so one design produces 20–30 listing-ready photos.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?+

Yes. No contracts, no lock-in. Cancel from your account settings in one click and you keep full access until the end of your billing period.
