How is Artboard Studio different from other can mockup tools?

Unlike most can mockup tools that only give you a fixed flat photo, most Artboard Studio mockups come on a transparent, isolated background - so you can set any surface, color, or full scene behind them, add props, and build your own composition. You also get AI image and video generation, and official Figma and Adobe Express plugins.

Can mockup FAQs

What is a can mockup?

A can mockup is a pre-made template that places your label artwork, brand identity, or packaging graphics onto a realistic can without physical samples or a photoshoot. You get a print-accurate, shelf-ready visual in seconds for client sign-off, retail listings, and packaging portfolio case studies.

What can types and sizes are available?

Artboard Studio covers standard 330ml and 500ml beverage cans, slim energy drink cans, beer cans, soda cans, tin candle containers, and general-purpose tin cans, in front, three-quarter, and top-down views across matte, gloss, and metallic finishes, so you can test the label and colorway before a production run.

Can I change the background or build my own scene?

Yes. Most can mockups come on a transparent, isolated background, so you can set any surface, color, or scene, add props, and build your own composition. Others come as ready-made scenes when you prefer a finished look.

Do I need Photoshop or Figma to use can mockups?

No. The online editor lets you apply your label artwork directly in the browser, with no software or print-ready files required. You can also use the Artboard Studio Figma plugin or Adobe Express plugin without leaving your design environment.

What file formats can I export?

You can export a high-resolution PNG, JPEG, or WEBP for static deliverables, or MP4 and WEBM for motion presentations and animated product showcases.

Can I use can mockups for commercial projects?

Yes. Every mockup includes a commercial license, cleared for client deliverables, retail product listings, brand pitch decks, agency presentations, and design marketplace assets.
