What file types work best for Etsy mockups?

For Etsy mockups, PNG and JPG work best.

Use PNG when your artwork has a transparent background. It is great for art prints and posters. The frame placement looks real. PNG also helps when your art does not fill the whole frame. It blends into the mockup with no hard edges.

Use JPG when your design covers the whole canvas. It gives a clean, finished look.

  • PNG: Best for transparent backgrounds. Gives realistic frame placement.
  • JPG: Best for full-canvas designs. Keeps high quality.
  • WebP, AVIF, HEIC: Supported, but not the best for transparency.

Upload high-resolution files to moqapp for the best output. The platform also takes WebP, AVIF, and HEIC. But these do not work as well when you need transparency. Stick to PNG and JPG for the most reliable results.

Good to know: Does your artwork have a transparent background? Always pick PNG to keep it. This matters most for a real look in framed mockups. Also, keep your files ready for the web so they load fast. Aim for under 5MB. This keeps quality high without a big file. You can save your favorite mockup styles as templates too. That saves time when you make similar designs again.
