Is Smartmockups still available?

No. The standalone service has shut down, and smartmockups.com now redirects to Canva's mockup feature.

Why did Smartmockups shut down?

Canva acquired Smartmockups in 2021 and eventually folded the product into Canva itself, retiring the standalone site.

Should I just use Canva instead?

If you already use Canva for design work, its built-in mockups may cover occasional needs. A dedicated tool like Mockraft makes more sense when mockups are a recurring production task — especially rendering many designs across many scenes at once.

Can I try Mockraft before paying?

Yes. The free plan renders unlimited mockups with a watermark at lower resolution — enough to test your whole catalog before upgrading.

Mockraft vs Smartmockups

Smartmockups is gone as a standalone product — smartmockups.com now redirects to Canva's mockup feature, following Canva's 2021 acquisition.
If you used it for POD product mockups, the choice now is a general design suite with mockups inside it, or a dedicated mockup tool.
Mockraft is the dedicated route: web-based like Smartmockups was, flat-rate, and built around rendering whole catalogs in one batch.

What happened to Smartmockups

Canva acquired Smartmockups in 2021 and later wound down the standalone service. Today smartmockups.com redirects straight to Canva's mockup feature — the separate product, its plans, and its site are gone.

For former users the practical question isn't which brand took over; it's whether your replacement should be a general design suite that includes mockups, or a tool that does mockups as its whole job.

What to look for in a replacement — and where Mockraft fits

Smartmockups' appeal was that it was web-based and simple: no Photoshop, pick a template, drop in a design. Any replacement should keep that — and ideally fix the part that was always manual, which is repeating the process for every design in your catalog.

Mockraft keeps the web-based simplicity and adds the batch: upload your designs, pick every scene you want, and the full design × scene grid renders in one pass, downloaded as a single ZIP. Pricing is flat — $15 a month or $99 a year, no credits — and the free plan lets you try unlimited watermarked renders before paying anything.
