AI Mockup Generator FAQ

Is the AI Mockup Generator free?

Yes. The AI Mockup Generator is free with every Dreamship account, including the free Basic plan. There are no credits to buy and no fee per image.

What can I upload?

Upload one or more JPG or PNG images, like your design or a product mockup you made in Dreamship. You can also click Saved to pick artwork already in your account.

Can I use the images in my listings?

Yes. Download them and add them to your product listings and ads, next to your Dreamship mockups. Check that each image shows your design correctly before you post it.

How is this different from Dreamship's product mockups?

Every product you create still gets mockups made from its real print file, which show exactly how it will print. AI mockups are scenes for marketing: the AI draws your product into a setting, so small details can differ from the printed product.

Can it make acrylic keychain mockups?

Yes. Choose the task Generate Mockup for Custom Acrylic Items, upload your design and describe the scene. The Biscuit keychain above was made this way.

Which products work best?

Products with a large, flat print area, like mugs, pillows, totes, posters, canvas and acrylic. On clothing, check that the details of your design came through.

How long does it take?

Each image usually takes under a minute.
