Graphic Artist Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Where imagination is taken seriosuly" January 5, 2025 5.0 Very smooth, fun and easy to work with. It gives you ideas that you never knew you were able to turn into designs. It can turn graphic design from a hobby to a gig for anyone. Pros Placeit is an amazing leader in graphic design. With wonderful templates and several vector arts, it makes graphic design possible for everybody. It also provides mockups so you can show your potential buyers how your designs will look like on apparel, accessories, on the wall and more. Cons They used to have great free templates and vector arts but that is not avialble anymore. Review Source JP James P.

December 6, 2024 5.0 Been using it for years as the main method of sharing designs to get approval prior to manufacture. Has worked perfectly. Pros Makes creating mockups for businesses much easier. Cons At times the mockup applies the colors that you choose, but they aren’t as vibrant in the mockup. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) I was previously using mockup templates in Photoshop but it took much longer to source and then edit.

I thought I cancelled my subscription a year ago, but then realised that they have been quite charging my card every month. I've tried to cancel it again and almost fell for the same trap - their flow is designed in a way that's they trick you to staying on the platform, i.e you think you canceled but if you are not careful you actually end up staying. Do not recommend at all. I asked for a full refund, they declined it. Stay away from these scammers. Review Source Andrew B.

May 8, 2022 4.0 I'm in the business of t-shirts and if you don't hold much inventory or know models coming up with realistic pictures is a tough task. Place it makes it easy and really realistic especially with their lays so you can have product pictures. They have tees, cups, billboards, books, with and without models, all that and more! Pros There is so many mock ups for every type of item you can imagine but my favorite feature is you can create GOOD designs for t-shirts right there without Photoshop. Cons A lot of the designs are goofy cartoons. Reason for choosing Placeit Not as much variety and although you can do more customization it's not nearly as quick and when you have a 1000 t-shirts or whatever you need easy & quick!

Architec Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Design Tool available online" November 5, 2022 5.0 The overall experience is just amazing and it's great to use Placeit. My productivity at work increases after using Placeit. Pros The most impactful thing about Placeit is the templates available on its platform to choose from. I use Placeit for making logos and business cards. The available templates of business cards make my work easy and fast. Easy editing options and a friendly user interface make work much better. Cons There is nothing to dislike about Placeit. Everything works properly. They can add 4K templates which would be really helpful. Otherwise, everything works properly. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) The easy user interface available was the real option.

Honestly ENVATO ELEMENTS could replace it. Cons The contents are not attractive, the visual effects are simple. The usability is normal even simple but the processes of render and previews are unfriendly Alternatives considered [Envato](https://www.capterra.com/p/241830/Envato-Elements/) Switched from [Envato](https://www.capterra.com/p/241830/Envato-Elements/) It is a really powerful tool, although it is true that it is focused on offering downloadable elements to update them with different softwares. It offers really great content of all categories. Review Source DO Devin O. Freelancer Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Placeit is a waste of money" November 25, 2025 2.0 I've been continually disappointed with every feature Placeit offers. The mockups are cheesy, low quality, and stocky, and the pre-made designs aren't much better. Pros If you care more about quickness of production than quality, Placeit is a relatively low barrier to entry product Cons Each image in its library of product mockups is nigh unusable. They're really not worth paying money for. Review Source Becky O. Content creator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A functional design tool " September 28, 2022 4.0 Overally this is a good place to start as a beginner designer as there is a decent collection of design elements to start with. Pros I like the free templates available on this platform that allows for branding and logo creation with so much ease. These templates have successfully cut my design creation time in half since I only have to make a few personalized changes when branding and creating logos. I also like that the text editing option on this platform are varied with a variety of fonts, sizes and colours for a more custom look and feel. Cons I was abit disappointed that after using it for a while, I realized that the content library is not updated more frequently. This is especially observed with the mockups available for use. Review Source Magdas P. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We bought it for mock-ups and stayed for the designs" January 6, 2022 5.0 We bought it for mock-ups 2 years ago. We needed a tool that could show mock-ups fast and Photoshop wasn't an option back then when we did not have a designer in-house. We saw the free account from PlaceIt and we knew right away we need this tool. We bought it and 1500 mock-ups later in a few months we discovered the design's features. The majority of the templates are better than Canva's ones. We found templates and videos for almost any industry and it paid off. Pros The variety of the mock-ups and designs. You just search the keyword and voila, you have several pages of mock-ups, videos, images, and templates ready to use. Cons The video editing is limited to only text and sound. The sound library is kinda letting down the product. Also, the text spaces are character-limited. If you see a video with 3 words in it, that's the limit. Review Source Tito M. Designer, Developer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Placeit, i like you so much!" August 4, 2022 5.0 Pros Placeit is a tool for designers and content creators to easily create covers, posts, stories, whether static or in video, the tool is really a video facilitator. Great resources for videos, great designs for print-on-demand shirts, and not to mention the mockups, of which there are thousands at our disposal. I've been subscribed for 2 years and plan to continue. Cons The cons of Placeit are due to the fact that it does not give us much mobility to edit texts, insert images that we would like to use, and especially the search does not work very well. Today I found it difficult to search for images. Thing of several cool things that would be for the word "Tattoo" not to appear in "Tattoo" but appear in "Musician" Review Source KP Kathryn P. Owner Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Helps with product development" January 23, 2025 5.0 Overall, I have had a great experience with Placeit. It's been a huge asset using it for mock labels so I gain a better sense of what the product will look like before purchasing labels. Pros Placeit is easy to use and results appear higher quality. Cons I would like more options related to the beauty industry. Review Source Silas M. CEO Program Development Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excelente ferramenta de design" December 22, 2022 5.0 Pros Agilizamos nossos processos de design com o Placeit. Entregamos peças de forma mais rápida. Cons Poderia ter mais templates com temas nacionais, tipo datas comemorativas aqui do Brasil.

Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good for Video Creation on Mobile Devices." May 1, 2022 4.0 I mostly use Placeit to create short videos when I'm on mobile. I find the Express Video Maker is the best option for creating simple video posts/announcements to share with students inside learning management systems. The video editor is lightweight on my mobile device and has the basic features and templates needed to create informative short videos in no time. Pros The Placeit service has a wide range of mockups and video templates. But what I like the most is the relatively new video editor "Express Video Maker." It's easy to use for average users and allows non-designers to create impressive videos in a few minutes using video templates. Also, the editor is open for feedback and accepts user feature requests as stated beneath the editor, "Request new Content & Features." Cons The subscription plans are a bit expensive. Also, the free one has a limited number of video exports for The Express Video Maker.

It's also really cool to create mockup videos. It has a very rich profile and also a good mail system. When I feel alone, I come in here and drown myself in e-mails... Cons Its software is very slow, I cannot design different mockups at the same time, I keep getting errors. It's hard to edit and it's annoying to constantly upload files. In the videos, I am dying. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder & Director Printing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Placeit is a one stop solution for making eye catchy product mockups without any technical expertise" June 18, 2022 5.0 I use placeit for my daily mockup creation need for our product. It saved a lot of money for us. Pros I liked their vast collection of professional mockup templates in various forms and industries. It has a very easy-to-use interface. And it also comes at a very cheap price which saves a lot of money in comparison to hiring a mockup designer. Cons I am really fond of this tool that I couldn't find anything that I disliked. Review Source KH Kristen H. Owner in training Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Beyond Awesome " August 27, 2022 5.0 Pros I absolutely love PlaceIt. I use it to create promo videos, mock ups and so much more. It really helps to set us apart from other companies. Cons Honestly, there isn’t anything to dislike about it. I’ve never run into any issues. Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Graphic Design](https://www.capterra.com/graphic-design-software/)
