Printify mockups for framed canvas and posters

What Printify's built-in mockups give you

Every Printify product comes with mockups. You pick them in the Mockup Library: open a product in My products and choose View all mockups. According to Printify's help page, you can:

• filter mockups by colour, size and type, and select up to the maximum allowed for the listing;
• choose different mockups for each colour group, and set the main mockup for each colour;
• download mockups with a white or transparent background;
• upload your own custom mockups.

For wall art, Printify's product pages list stretched canvas, gallery-wrapped canvas and framed canvas with a pine wood frame (canvas page), and framed posters in black or white wooden frames as well as unframed posters (posters page). What you can choose depends on the print provider you pick.

There are two extras. A custom background lets you put your own image behind some mockups, but Printify says it only works for a limited number of products. It recommends a 2048 × 2048 px background (source). AI mockups come with Printify Premium, for select products only, with 25 generation attempts every 24 hours (source).

Printify also says its mockups are representations, and suggests ordering samples to see what customers receive (source). For framed canvas and posters, that sample is also your best source of a real photo.

Printify mockup not showing on Etsy: what to check

Most "missing mockup" problems come from publishing settings, not from the image itself. Work down this table. Each fix is from Printify's own help pages.

Still stuck? Printify's help page says a general publishing error with no detail should go to its support team. Send them the product so they can check your account.

Printify mockup image size

There are two numbers to know:

• Uploading to Printify: custom mockups can be JPG, PNG or SVG, up to 30,000 × 30,000 px (Printify).
• Showing on Etsy: Etsy recommends listing photos at least 2000 px in width and height. It also says the first photo should be at least 635 px, should be landscape or square, and works best in sRGB. Transparent parts of a PNG show as black (Etsy).

So a large, square or landscape JPG in sRGB is the safe choice for a framed canvas or poster hero photo. Don't use a transparent PNG. Etsy also warns that files over 1 MB may not finish uploading on a slow connection.

How to add your own room mockups to a Printify listing

You have two routes. Pick one per product and stick with it, so a later republish doesn't surprise you.

Route A: upload the mockups in Printify

Best when you want Printify to stay in charge of the listing. Steps from Printify's help page:

1. In Printify, go to My products and open the product.
2. Click View all mockups (top right).
3. Choose Upload in the left menu and pick your file.
4. Select the variant the mockup belongs to, for example the 16×20 black-framed version.
5. Change the image order if needed, then click Save selection.
6. Publish to your store with the Mockups option ticked.

Route B: add the photos on Etsy or Shopify

Best when you edit listings in your store. Printify's selective publishing page says you can keep manually uploaded mockups by leaving Mockups unticked when you republish. Printify recommends making every other change in Printify, and names mockups as the exception.

1. Publish the product from Printify once.
2. In Etsy Shop Manager, edit the listing and add your room photos. Etsy allows up to 20 photos and 2 videos per listing (Etsy).
3. Drag your best room photo to the first slot. It becomes the thumbnail.
4. Next time you change price or tags in Printify, publish with Mockups unticked.

Printify warns that changing the design, its placement or the variants and then publishing updates the whole product (source). Before a big edit, keep copies of your room images so you can put them back.

Match the mockup to the Printify product

Printify asks that a custom mockup closely matches the real product, and its content rules for designs apply to mockups too (source). Etsy's rules say listing images must accurately show what the buyer gets. Most listings also need at least one unedited photo of the real item, with a print-on-demand exception for authorised stock mockups. Read Etsy's page to see how it applies to your product. Before you upload, check:

• Same product: framed canvas, gallery-wrapped canvas or framed poster, exactly as listed.
• Same frame colour as the variant, for example black or white for framed posters.
• Mat or no mat, as the provider makes it.
• Same shape: a 2:3 file shown as 2:3, never stretched or cropped to fit a scene.
• A believable size on the wall for the variant the photo belongs to.
• The artwork itself unchanged: lettering, signature and colours exactly as printed.
• A real photo of a sample you ordered, if Etsy's rules need one for your product.

Where WallMock fits

WallMock is a mockup tool, not a print provider. You keep using Printify for printing and shipping. You use WallMock for the room photos.

• Upload the same artwork file you send to Printify. WallMock places your file as it is: it is never redrawn, repainted or upscaled by AI.
• Choose the product that matches your Printify listing: framed canvas (floating frame), stretched canvas, framed print, with or without a mat, poster and print without a frame.
• Save favourite rooms once, add a whole collection, and get every artwork in every room. Sets of 2, 3 or 4 work too.
• Download the images, then follow Route A or Route B above.

Free watermarked previews in every room. Rooms are curated, digitally staged interiors reviewed by WallMock. Anyone can try free watermarked previews. Full access is by invitation during the beta: request one, then sign in with your invited email.
