Artboard Studio vs Shots

Artboard Studio is an online mockup generator and editor for designers, running in a browser without software installation. Its library contains more than 5,000 mockups across device, apparel, packaging, print, branding, and out-of-home categories. Users can place images or videos on mockup surfaces, adjust backgrounds, and export high-resolution images. Image formats are PNG, JPEG, and WEBP; video formats are MP4 and WEBM. A prompt-based AI generator creates a mockup from a text prompt and chosen style. The Artboard Mockups plugin gives access to the library, 3D models, and animations inside Figma, while an Adobe Express plugin is another optional way to use the service. The site describes the mockups as useful for case studies, portfolio projects, and client presentations. A free plan is available. Lite is listed at $108 a year, Pro at $228 a year, and Lifetime Mockup at $129, paid once. The Pro plan lists unlimited image and video exports; the Lifetime Mockup plan has no recurring payments.

The terms name Free, Basic, and Pro plans. Subscriptions renew monthly or annually until cancelled; cancellation through the dashboard takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle.
