The best thing about Placeit is that you don’t need Photoshop to add your designs to these fantastic templates, you just drop your image and it will be automatically adjusted. So let’s get started:
1. Visit Placeit Apparel and Choose a Mockup Template
Use filters and tags to find exactly what you need. You can filter your search (since our library is huge) according to our model’s age, ethnicity, gender, etc. Tags are super helpful when you want to find an occasion, an environment, a season, a festivity, and much more. You can find these on the left column of our apparel mockup page. Also! Something great to notice is that you can order your mockups by “mixed”, “newest” or our “best selling”.
🔥 Pro Tip: If you have used our mockups before and there is a specific model you like to use to showcase your designs, you can also lookup for our models with their tags and this is how: Once you are on the editing screen of any mockup with a model, on the top right corner of your screen you can see all the tags for that particular image. The first tag you will see is the model’s tag. Click on it to see more mockups featuring that very same model!
