How to Get Free T-Shirt Mockups & More on Placeit

If you're looking for free mockups, designs, logos, and other resources, Placeit is a good place to find terrific digital resources.

Today we'll introduce you to Placeit, showing you how to use it and how to get FREE resources when you need them.

What Is Placeit?

Placeit is an affordable online design generator that makes professional branding, promotion and marketing tools accessible to everyone. It does this by providing design novices as well as those with more experience with high-quality designs, logos, videos and mockups that they can customise online and download in a matter of seconds.

This means that you can design all your branding and marketing materials directly from your browser, without needing complicated software.

How to Use Placeit

What's more, Placeit is designed to suit a range of budgets. If you regularly need mockups, logos, and various designs, you can sign up for a low monthly or yearly plan. This gives you access to unlimited downloads of any and all the digital assets available at Placeit.

You heard that right. One low monthly/yearly fee = unlimited access to the best logos, mockups, designs and videos available on the internet today. But that's not all.

If you're on a budget and can only afford to buy one digital resource at a time, you have another option. Rather than taking advantage of that low monthly/yearly fee, you can create the resource you want and pay a small fee to download just that resource. How cool is that?

What's more, Placeit is super easy to use. But before I show you how, let's talk about how to find FREE mockups and designs on Placeit.
