How Do I Make Mockups on Canva?

Mockups are an important part of the design process.

They help designers bring their ideas to life and visualize the final product. Creating professional-looking mockups that are both accurate and aesthetically pleasing used to be a time-consuming and tedious process. Fortunately, there are plenty of tools out there that can make it easier for you to design mockups yourself—even if you have no previous experience with design software like Photoshop or Illustrator.

I’m talking about Canva, and it has all the features you need to create smart mockups in just minutes. This tool, which is available on the web, desktop, and mobile, offers an ever-growing library of mockups for the latest tech devices, T-shirts, mugs, greeting cards, bags, seasonal content, and more.
