How to Create a Device Mock-Up on Canva?
Ever wondered how to showcase your designs, digital products, and artwork using device mock-ups, but you don’t want to take the time to dive into the learning curve of complicated platforms?
I may just have an easy way for you to achieve that. (because who doesn’t want it easy, right?
As a designer, design mock-ups are super important. For this blog post, I am going to focus on device mock-ups.
Although, I normally use photoshop but sometimes, I want something quick and easy and that’s where Canva comes in.
What are device mock-ups?
Think about putting your designs on an ipad, smartphone, desktop, or a laptop. A mock-up is a realistic prototype of a product. Now, for a mock-up newbie, you might be wondering how to use them for your business.
Let’s get started -
Step 1- Log in to Canva account (free or paid)
Step 2- Create custom dimensions. For a mock-up, I normally use 1800px x 1400px but you can also create your own dimension
Step 3- In the right hand side of your screen, go to >Elements and look for the Frame Category
Step 4- When you see the “Frames”, > Click on See All (gear or the ellipsis icon) and scroll down to look for the devices.
Step 5- Choose the device that you want to use. (Ipad, Deskptop, Laptop,etc)
Step 6- Once you have selected the device, drag and drop the PNG file of your design. (note, that if you have a PDF document designed in Canva, you need to produce the PNG file by downloading it as PNG.)
Step 7- You’re set to go. Download the mockup file as a PNG for best use.
