Mockup + Quote Generator
Built for the printer, not the designer: put your client's artwork on a blank tee, download the mockup for approval, and turn it into a printable quote without opening Word. Everything runs in your browser — artwork never uploads anywhere.
1 · Build the mockup
Drag the artwork on the canvas to fine-tune position. Sliders set size and vertical placement.
2 · Turn it into a quote

How to use this
Why mockups close sales. Clients approve what they can see. A design on an actual shirt photo answers "how big will it be?" and "how will it sit?" instantly — the two questions that stall approvals for days. Send the mockup with the quote, not after.
Artwork tips. A transparent PNG gives the cleanest result. If the client's file has a white box around it, run it through the Artwork Prep Tool first to strip the background. On white and gray shirts, try the vintage multiply blend — it lets the fabric texture show through light inks, which is closer to how a real print sits.
Placement defaults. The canvas centers at a standard chest position (design top roughly 3–4 inches below the collar). Use the vertical slider for pocket prints or center-chest work. If the client wants left-chest, say so in the job description — the mockup is for size and color approval, not a registration spec.
The quote opens as a clean printable page with your mockup embedded — use the browser's "Save as PDF" to email it. Your shop name stays off it by design; add your branding when you send it.
FAQ
Does my artwork upload to a server? No. Everything renders on a local canvas in your browser — client artwork never leaves your machine.
Can I use my own shirt photos? Not in this version. The three built-in blanks cover the colors that decide 90% of print outcomes; for unusual garments, mock the closest color and note the difference in the job description.
Why does my white ink look transparent on the black tee? Multiply mode is on — it simulates ink soaking into fabric (realistic for water-based). Turn it off for plastisol opacity.
Can I save quotes? Quotes are generated on the fly; save them as PDF. A quote-history feature lives in the Pricing Calculator's roadmap, not here.
