A mockup is a realistic rendering of a product that lets you showcase what your art will look like out in the world. A t-shirt is just one of many bases you can use to display your designs. Other common use cases include product design mockups (mugs, tote bags), branding kit mockups (business cards, letterhead) and digital display mockups (iPhones, desktops).

Using an AI prompt, you generate your t-shirt template (the base you want to see your design on). Then, you use the AI image generator to create a design. Just drop your design right on the template and Recraft stretches it to fit. Finally, export your beautiful t-shirt design and use it wherever you want!

Recraft is a free generative design platform for designers, illustrators and marketers. It lets you easily generate and edit original images, realistic mockups, vector art, illustrations and 3D graphics using the power of AI. Start from scratch using a text prompt, upload an image and modify everything about it or upload a brand style to generate on-brand images, icon sets and other visuals.

Absolutely! You can add illustrations, photorealistic images or logos onto your base — in any combination.

30 seconds or less. As long as you have a style and prompt in mind, you can generate, edit and export mockups in under a minute.

No! Recraft's AI t-shirt generator is easy and intuitive enough for anyone to use. The canvas even includes written and video instructions. No need for prior design experience.

You can create various t-shirt mockups including crew neck, V-neck, long sleeve, tank tops, ringer, pocket, athletic, kids’ t-shirts, women’s fitted, and eco-friendly options. Customize colors, designs, and logos. Seasonal, themed, and niche-specific templates are available, and you can choose different fabric types. Mockups can be used commercially and saved in multiple formats.
