App LaunchPad – Create Fully Customizable Mockups

As its name suggests, App LaunchPad is originally built for app developers and designers.

But it can be hugely beneficial for authors, freelancers, bloggers, marketers, publishers, designers and any content creators.

This platform offers two free tools:

1. Screenshot Builder: Create free beautiful App screenshots for App Store and Google Play pages.
2. Mockup Generator: Create quality mockups with just a few clicks!

Here, we’ll focus on its free mockup generator, which offers over 1000+ professionally designed templates for your product mockups. All templates are sorted into easy-to-browse categories: iPhone iPad, Macbook, Android, Multi-device, Smartwatch, Windows and more.

What makes App LaunchPad different is that it gives you all the tools you need to design. This basically means that you can create fully-customized (rather than a generic mockup) design:

• Add text with catchy fonts, style and color.
• Upload your own brand logo, app store or google play icon.
• Add image, color or transparent background to help you get more attention from audience.

Ready to make a mockup for your book, website or product?

Sign up for a free account with your email ID.

Choose a template, drag and drop any element you want to add to your template, adjust fonts, colors and then click download to get a quality mockup image.

Their free account allows you to create unlimited, high-resolution mockups.

The only downside is the ugly watermark right at the center of the mockup!

To remove this watermark and unlock advanced features, you’ll need to upgrade to their paid plans, which start at $19 per month.

Mockup Photos – Free Real-Life Mockup Generator

Mockup Photo is a great tool that allows you to showcase your products in a real-life environment.

There are over 1540+ mockups to choose from, Androids, Apple, desktop, iPhone to woman and workspace.

Not only that, they will handpick a few special mockups every week.

These weekly freebies will be available for use during that particular week, after that they’re gone. This helps give your mockups that creative and unique touch.

Mockup Photo is different from App LaunchPad:

(1)You’re not required to create an account to start using this free tool, (2) you can’t edit the existing template, and (3) you can’t upload your own logo or add text.

Here’s how it works:

• Select a template that you’d like to use.
• Click “Place Image here” to upload your own image. It will show the recommended size for each device. In this example, you’ll need to upload image with size “2880×1800” for best result.
• That’s it. Click “Download now” to save a copy to your computer.

And there’s no watermark.

Conclusion

The mockup generators either provide a flat view of the package, a 3D box or even an animation. This feature is probably the most important. Animations for boxes for example enable you to understand how the final product will look like when stacked on shelves at a grocery store or in another customer establishment, such as an online store.
