Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 12:32 pm

There are many ways to create a mockup. You can use Photoshop, Sketch, or even PowerPoint. But what if you want to create a mockup without any of those programs? Canva is a great alternative. Canva is a free online design platform that anyone can use. You don’t need any design experience to create a mockup in Canva.

To create a smart mockup in Canva, first, you’ll need to sign up for a free account. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Create a design” button. Then, select “Use custom dimensions” and enter the width and height of your desired mockup. For this example, we’ll use 1200×1200 pixels.

After that, select “Uploads” from the left-hand side menu and upload any images you want to use in your mockup. Now it’s time to start designing!

Canva has a built-in image editor so you can crop, resize, and edit your images without having to leave the platform. Once you’re happy with your images, it’s time to add some text. Click on the “Text” button from the left-hand side menu and start typing out your message. You can also change the font, color, and size of your text.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great tool for creating mockups, but it’s important to be aware of the potential pitfalls. First and foremost, make sure that your mockups are high quality and look professional. Secondly, be careful not to overuse Canva’s features – too much of a good thing can quickly become overwhelming and confusing. Finally, take care when sharing your mockups with others – remember that they may not have the same level of understanding as you do. With these things in mind, go forth and create amazing mockups!

Now that you have your text and images in place, it’s time to add some finishing touches to your mockup. Canva has a library of built-in graphics that you can use to make your mockup more visually appealing. To access these graphics, click on the “Graphics” button from the left-hand side menu. Then, select the “Uploads” tab and upload any icons or illustrations you want to use.

Once you’re happy with your mockup, click on the “Download” button and select the file format you want to download your mockup in. That’s it! You now have a smart mockup that you can use for whatever purpose you need it.
