How to make a T-shirt mockup with Kittl

Every shirt, before you print it

Check how a design sits on the actual garment you're selling

Your design on black, white, and every color between

Artwork behaves differently depending on what it's printed on. Light ink disappears on a white shirt, and a design that pops on black can turn muddy on heather grey. Black and white t-shirt mockups let you check each colorway before you commit an order, not after the box arrives.

Polos, long sleeves, and oversized fits, all covered

Your range probably isn't one garment. Polo shirt mockups, long sleeve mockups, and oversized shirt mockups show the same artwork across every fit you sell, so a customer moving from one product to the next sees the same brand rather than three different ones.

Front, back, and on a real body

A chest print and a back print need checking separately, and neither reads the same flat as it does on someone wearing it. Front and back mockups cover both sides, & on-model mockups show how the design sits once someone is wearing the shirt.

Clothing mockups for print, listings, and ads

The same artwork has to survive three decisions. What you order, what you list, and what you promote. Check each one before it costs you.

Before you print

See the design on the garment before a print run exists. Placement, scale, and how the ink reads on the fabric color you actually ordered.

Before you list

Apparel mockups give you listing images without a photoshoot. The same shirt, shown the way your shop and marketplace pages need it.

Before you promote

Turn the mockup into product ads and social posts. One design, carried across every place a customer meets your brand.
