Adding Additional Product Mockups and creating UGC.

What's up, mock-up?

We automatically generate generic product mock-ups for you when you create a design. But we also offer additional mock-up templates you are free to use which might better suit your niche.

These can be located from within the product editor. Check out the video and guide below to learn how to get them.

If it's video content you're looking to create as part of a UGC campaign or for ads, you can either order a sample kit (USA, Canada, EU and International) or Order a sample, and use them to record your own videos. 

Adding custom mock-ups.

Creating Custom Mock-ups

Visit Canto for free blank product mockups - Select your product from the list on the left to begin searching for that product's mockups

These are free to download, please explore and download what you like.

The file you will be working with is a .PSD file, which requires Adobe Photoshop to edit. However, you can use free online alternatives such as Photopea - our personal favorite. 

To make it easier for everyone, this guide will use Photopea:

• Go ahead and open Photopea now.
• Open the .PSD file you downloaded by dragging and dropping it onto the Photopea logo. 
• The file will open.

• On the right you'll see three different layers. If you don't see this, click the layers tab.
• Double-click on the square next to the "Design" layer. 
• The layer will open up like a new document.

• This is where you can place your design. 
• To do so, drag and drop your design file onto this area, and then resize it to fit the whole image by dragging the square in the corner until it fills the entire space. 

• Finally, click the arrow at the top to confirm.
• Pay attention to the colored guidelines during this step. If any text falls outside the green box, you will need to adjust your design and update your product, as these guidelines also apply for when your design is printed in our factory.
• Next, click File > Save as smart object. 

• Then click on the original tab, and you will notice your design has been placed within the mock-up

• Next, we need to save the file ready to upload to the product editor. Click File> Export as > .JPG
• And then click save. The file will download to your computer ready for the next step.
• Files over 5mb will not upload to the ShineOn app. Check to make sure your file will be under 5mb. This shouldn't be an issue when using .jpg. But If it is larger, resize the image by reducing the number of pixels in the height/width box during this step.   

And you're done! The image file you just uploaded can be added by following the first part of this guide.
