Placeit.net API Alternatives

Looking for a Placeit API? Meet Mockupify – The Automated Alternative Built for POD Sellers

If you’ve been searching for a Placeit API to automate your mockup creation process, you’ve probably realized by now… it doesn’t exist.

Placeit is a great tool for creating one-off mockups and videos, but if you’re running a print-on-demand (POD) Shopify store with lots of designs, doing everything manually just doesn’t scale. You need automation — and that’s where Mockupify comes in.

The Problem with Placeit

Placeit has:
- ❌ No API
- ❌ No automation
- ❌ No Shopify integration

This means you need to manually:
- Upload your design
- Select a mockup template
- Download the generated image
- Upload that image to Shopify
- Assign it to the correct product variant

If you’re doing this for hundreds of products or variants… that’s hours or days of repetitive work.

Enter Mockupify: Mockup Automation for Shopify

Mockupify is a Shopify app that automates everything Placeit doesn’t. It’s designed specifically for high-volume POD sellers who want to create mockups and product listings at scale.

Here’s how it works:
1. Upload your designs (e.g. PNG files)
2. Create product templates using your own mockup images
3. Mockupify auto-generates mockup images by combining each design with each template
4. It pushes the products directly to your Shopify store, complete with variant images, titles, and listings

All of this happens in minutes — no manual uploading or downloading.

Why Mockupify Is the Best Placeit Alternative

Here’s what makes Mockupify the better choice if you're managing a growing POD store:

• ✅ Full automation – No more repetitive tasks. Upload once, and let Mockupify do the rest.
• ✅ Direct Shopify integration – Products are created in your store automatically.
• ✅ Use your own mockups – Stay on-brand with your own flat lays or model photos.
• ✅ Supports variants – Automatically assigns images to the correct product variants (e.g. black vs. white t-shirt).
• ✅ Scales with you – Whether you have 10 designs or 10,000, Mockupify handles it all.

Stop Doing It All Manually

Placeit is a good design tool, but it’s built for manual workflows. If you’re serious about growing your POD business, automation is key. Mockupify is like having the API that Placeit doesn’t — with native Shopify support baked in.
