Company profile
researched Sep 2026Artboard Studio operates an online mockup generator and editor for designers. Users apply their own images or videos to realistic mockup scenes in the browser and export high-resolution visuals for case studies, portfolio projects and client presentations, without installing software or using Photoshop. The library spans more than 5,000 mockups in five categories: devices (iPhone, Android phones, laptops, iPads, desktops, watches), apparel (t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, caps, tote bags, beanies), packaging (boxes, bottles, bags, cans, pouches, jars, cosmetics, cups), print (books, posters, business cards, magazines, stickers, flyers, brochures, notebooks, envelopes, newspapers) and branding (billboards, banners, signs, flags, lanyards, mugs).
Beyond the web editor, the product is distributed as a Figma plugin — which exposes the full mockup library, 3D models and animations inside Figma — and an Adobe Express plugin; a legacy app is also referenced. Distinguishing features include video mockups, where a video is mapped onto a mockup item's surface and exported as MP4 or WEBM, and an AI mockup generator that produces a finished mockup from a text prompt and a selected style. Static images export as PNG, JPEG or WEBP. Support is handled through live chat on the site.
Business model
Freemium self-serve software. Users can start for free; paid tiers are a Lite Plan at $9 per month billed annually, a Pro Plan at $19 per month billed annually that includes unlimited image and video exports, and a one-time Lifetime Mockup plan at $129 with no recurring payments.
Subscription revenue from monthly plans billed annually, plus one-time lifetime license purchases.
Traction
The mockup library exceeds 5,000 items across device, apparel, packaging, print and branding categories. The company maintains an active Dribbble presence, publishing mockup collections keyed to recent hardware such as the iPhone 16 line, iPhone 16e, Nothing Phone 3a, Apple Watch Ultra 2 and iPad Pro, as well as free mockup releases.
Latest developments
Recent product emphasis is on an AI mockup generator that creates mockups from text prompts, video mockups with MP4/WEBM export, and the Figma plugin providing in-editor access to the full library including 3D models and animations.

Market position
Positions against mockup libraries limited to static images by supporting video placement on mockup surfaces with video file export, alongside an AI prompt-to-mockup generator and in-tool access to the full library via a Figma plugin.
Technology
The editor runs entirely in the browser, so no local software installation or Photoshop skill is required. It supports mapping both images and video onto mockup surfaces, background adjustment, high-resolution image export (PNG, JPEG, WEBP) and video export (MP4, WEBM). An AI generator converts a text prompt and style selection into a ready-to-use mockup. Plugins extend the library, 3D models and animations into Figma and Adobe Express.
Go-to-market
Direct self-serve signup on the company website with a free entry tier, supplemented by distribution through the Figma and Adobe Express plugin ecosystems and by publishing mockup collections and free assets to the design community on Dribbble.
