Case Study - Free Mockup AI (Beta Version)

Overview

This in-house project aimed to create an easy-to-use, free tool for designing mockups of T-shirts, hoodies, and other items.

Business Challenges:

Before developing this web application, we had limited knowledge of how to build it and found almost no resources online. We even considered seeking help from external experts in this field a few times.

Key Challenges

• Achieving a smooth and realistic blending of the uploaded design with the T-shirt (or any other mockup) fabric's texture, curves, and creases. We aimed for more than a simple drag-and-drop feature; we aimed for realistic integration.
• Ensuring smooth color changes on the mockup, such as changing the T-shirt's color.
• Enabling the upload of multiple design images on the mockup.
• Allowing users to resize, rotate, and drag-and-drop designs directly on the screen.
• Providing the ability to select and deselect uploaded designs with mouse clicks.
• Implementing design masking so that the uploaded design gets cropped when it surpasses the boundary of the mockup.
• Using the same codebase for multiple types of items, such as T-shirts, hoodies, with and without models, and more.

Delivered Solution:

Despite the innovative nature of this project and the initial lack of resources, we decided to rely on our problem-solving mindset and perseverance. We managed to overcome all the challenges mentioned above without any outside help.

This journey exemplifies our commitment to innovation and our ability to tackle complex problems, ultimately creating a valuable tool for our users.

Key Features:

• Drag-and-drop functionality for uploaded designs.
• Masking of the uploaded design image in predefined areas (e.g., T-shirt)
• Rotation of the uploaded design image.
• Blending of the design image with the fabric's creases and textures.
• Changing the background image.
• Removing the background image and downloading just the mockup image.
• Changing the color of the mockup and different layers of the mockup.
• Zooming in and out
• Preview, edit, and download options.

Upcoming features:

• AI integration
• Custom text editor for design image
• Masking for multiple layer
