What is the difference between the free and premium plans?

The main difference is in the number of available mockups and their features. The Free plan offers about 200 mockups with only basic features. The Premium plan gives you 4500+ mockups and advanced features, such as URL screenshots, changeable background, changeable device color, crop tool, and much more. With the Team plan, you get everything from Premium plus up to ten team members, custom mockups, team management, and priority support. It’s like the Premium plan but on steroids.

What happens after my free 7-day trial ends?

Once your free trial is over, you can subscribe to one of our plans or keep using the free version of Smartmockups happily ever after.

Are you adding new mockups to the library?

Yes! Every week we are adding new mockups to our growing collection of different categories. New mockups are only available for premium and team users.

Are you going to release new updates in the future?

Absolutely! We're always working on new features and options to improve our product. You can check out our changelog to see the changes we will be making over time. If you have any ideas for making Smartmockups even better, use our feedback forum under "Suggest an idea" option.

Why are there watermarks in a trial?

We made a trial version to make sure that everyone can check out all the available mockups, try customization features and check out the final quality of exported images. As we have multiple mockup contributors, we have to protect their rights by placing a decent small watermark on the mockups to avoid any abuse of their images. We tried to make the watermark as decent as possible to make sure, that the final image can be used for non-profit use cases such as school projects. The watermark will automatically disappear once you subscribe to our plan.

Getting started

What file formats can I upload?

You can upload standard image files (.JPG, .PNG or .PDF) or even videos in MP4, MOV or animated GIFs.

What about privacy? Are my designs safe?

We’re glad you asked! The great thing about Smartmockups is that all the magic happens right inside your own computer or browser. Your designs are never uploaded to the Internet or stored on our servers. Your designs are always private, proprietary, and they remain your creative property. Only when you use the share option are your designs uploaded to our servers so that they can be traced down under the link you share with your friends.

What am I allowed to use the exported images for?

All generated images are royalty free for use in personal and commercial projects. You can modify the image to your liking so that it can fit your project. You are not allowed, however, to resell or redistribute exported images as new mockups or images themselves. We are not legally liable for any misuse of these images. Need any special usage that is not covered by the licence agreement? Contact us at hello@smartmockups.com

Can I submit my own mockups to your library?

We're always looking for new and talented authors to enlarge our ever-growing library. For now, we don't have an official submitting form. If you are interested in collaboration, please contact us at hello@smartmockups.com and show us what you have. All mockups and their assets (images, photos) have to be covered with your own copyright (you can't submit images that are not yours).

What is the difference between the browser tool and the desktop app?

The browser version is almost the same as the desktop app version. The only difference is that the desktop app can import more file formats and has a slightly different user interface. So it basically depends on whether you prefer the online web app or dedicated Mac or Window app. If you are a premium user, you can use a full version of the web and the app simultaneously.
