Comparison
MobileShots vs Smartmockups
Smartmockups is a large catalogue of mockup scenes — phones, laptops, mugs, t-shirts — and it lives inside Canva. MobileShots does one thing: screenshots on 3D devices, at the sizes the app stores require.
What Smartmockups does well
- An enormous catalogue: devices, print, apparel, packaging. If you need a mug, it has the mug.
- It lives inside Canva, so it is already in the flow of anyone who designs there.
- Photographic scenes with real lighting that a parametric 3D render does not imitate.
- A team that has been at this for years, with the polish that comes from that.

When Smartmockups is the better choice
If what you need is breadth — a t-shirt today, packaging tomorrow, a billboard next week — Smartmockups covers ground MobileShots does not even try to cover. It is also the better answer if you already work inside Canva and want everything in one place. MobileShots is narrower on purpose: it is for the person shipping an app listing.
If what you need is a store listing
The part most tools skip is the boring part: the exact resolutions the stores accept, and the 30-second cap on a video preview. Both are here — screenshot sizes and App Preview video specs — with a generator attached to each.
You can try it right now without an account: drop a screenshot in and export it. The free tier is the whole editor.
