Photo vs. isolated mockups: What's the difference?
Our mockup library is divided into Technology, Print, Packaging, Apparel, Home & Living and Seasonal mockups. Within the library, you can filter the collections or results by using the search tool and subcollection tags. There are also two types of mockups available on Smartmockups: photo mockups and isolated mockups.
Photo mockups
Photo mockups represent high-resolution realistic product images that come with a set background that can't be customized - mostly photos or 3D renders, of different products captured in real-life situations.
The main aspects of photo mockups
- Real-life photos or realistic 3D renders
- Up to 5K high resolution exports
- Limited customization options (no changeable background)
Isolated mockups
Isolated mockups, on the other hand, are product images that come with a fully customizable background. Thanks to that, the background of your mockup is completely changeable and it's up to you whether you want to keep it transparent, add a plain background color or colorful gradient, upload your own image or pick one of 550.000+ free stock images from Unsplash. All isolated mockups can also be downloaded with a transparent background (in .PNG file formats).
The main aspects of isolated mockups
- Real-life photos with transparent backgrounds or 3D renders
- Up to 5K high resolution exports
- Changeable background with multiple options
- Full customization options with different styles
