Free Mockups For Designers

Welcome back to the blog.

This is a series of blog posts meant to highlight free design resources such as:

These are all resources that I’ve genuinely used in the past and plan on using for future design projects.

To keep things current, I plan on updating these posts whenever I discover a resource that I enjoy using. In other words, if I like it, you’ll be hearing about it.

This post is going to focus on Mockups. A must for any designer, especially if the work you create is meant to exist or be displayed physically in the real world.

Here are some of my favourites:

1. Canva

Canva has a range of mockups available under both their free and premium plans. You’re sure to snag something useful without necessarily having to shell out cash for it.

I love Mockupbro, because it allows you to create mockups right there on the website. Simply choose the mockup you want, upload your corresponding image or design, and pronto! It’s now available for download. Perfect if you don’t have access to photo editing software or if you’re just in a rush.

3. Magnific (Formerly known as Freepik)

I mentioned Magnific in the previous post about stock images. But you can count on them having more than just images.

They also have a mockup generator that allows you to create your mockups right there in the browser, which happens to be quite convenient.

4. Photopea

Photopea provides various mockups, available among their templates, for download in PSD (Photoshop) format.

Their interface isn’t as elaborate or organised as some of the other sites on this list, but there are for sure lots of gems to be found.

5. Mr. Mockup

Mr Mockups boasts a vast library of both free and premium mockups, and the free versions don’t necessarily suffer in quality either.

You can download the PSD (Photoshop) file and obtain a high quality file without the cost.

6. Mockups Design

Mockups Design provides the promise of no redirections or registration needed in order to access their assets, as well as being free forever. It’s a pretty sweet deal if you ask me, because you know exactly what you’re getting into. Oh yeah, and their extensive mockup library is pretty great too.

7. Unblast

Unblast finds pride in the many resources available in their library, such as fonts and icons. So feel free to check them out for those.

But, I’ve mainly used them for their free mockups and, if you’re reading this post, then that’s probably what you have in mind as well.

8. Unsplash

I also mentioned Unsplash in the previous post about stock images. And while they don’t necessarily provide you with editable PSD (Photoshop) files, like the other sites on this list, they do provide you with images of objects that contain blank spaces, which are perfect for simple mockups or more elaborate versions if you can get creative enough.

Best of all, the images are royalty-free, so you’re in the clear to use them however you’d like.

Have a browse through their stock collection to see what you can find or search for the type of mockup you’re looking for in the search bar.

9. Yellow Images

Yellow Images offers both free and paid mockups. While the paid mockups do look to be of great quality, their free library consists of over 100 varied mockups to choose from. Just be sure to search for the free collection when browsing.

So there you have it, some of my favourite resources for mockups.

These resources always come in handy when it’s time to bring a design I’ve created to life, so I hope they can be useful to you too. Although, I will warn you that the hardest part may be choosing from the wide variety of mockups available to use in your next project.

If you considered this list helpful, be sure to share it with a fellow creative and I’ll catch you in the next one.

Happy transforming!

Until next time,
