The mechanics behind Free Mockups

Rather than hosting mockups, Free Mockups operates as a refined directory, curating the best of free mockups available online. Each mockup you find is handpicked, ensuring quality and relevance. When you opt to download a mockup, the site directs you to the original source, ensuring that the creator receives due recognition. It’s a nexus, connecting designers to high-quality resources while maintaining a sense of community by attributing creators.

The motivation behind Free Mockups

At first glance, it might seem counterintuitive for designers and agencies to offer their mockups for free. However, it’s a strategic move. By providing complimentary mockups, designers and agencies amplify their online presence and brand awareness. It’s akin to providing a free sample; it showcases their skills, lures potential clients, and acts as an effective marketing tool. If you’re a designer looking to boost your online visibility, contributing to such platforms could be an avenue worth exploring.

Choosing photo-realism over 2D and vector mockups

While 2D and completely vectorized mockups have their place in design, Free Mockups focuses on a niche: photo-realistic mockups. These mockups, often grounded in real photographs, exude authenticity. They transplant designs into tangible settings, offering viewers a genuine feel of how the design would integrate into the real world. It’s this natural portrayal that makes photo-realistic mockups a favored choice among many designers.

How to Share Your Mockups

You are a mockup creator?

Have you crafted an impressive mockup and wish for it to be showcased on Free Mockups? Fantastic! To share your creation, kindly use our submission form. Before you proceed, ensure:

  1. You undoubtedly hold the copyright to your design.
  2. Instead of providing a direct download link (like a Dropbox link), offer a link to your personal website, Dribbble, or Behance profile where more details about the mockup can be found.
  3. Refrain from using links that serve ads for downloads. A point to remember: Free Mockups typically doesn’t promote mockups from sites exclusively dedicated to mockup offerings.

Should I link my mockup to a license?

While the choice is yours, it’s highly advised to do so to prevent potential misunderstandings down the line. Clearly outline the permissions associated with your mockup and the scenarios in which it can be utilized. If in doubt, consider adopting a Creative Commons license. A comprehensive list of CC licenses is available for reference.

Why wasn’t my mockup highlighted on Free Mockups?

It’s possible that your submission might have overlooked some of the criteria mentioned earlier. Moreover, Free Mockups maintains a benchmark for quality, ensuring only top-notch mockups are featured.
