## FAQ

### Can I use digital mockups on Etsy instead of real photos?

Yes. Etsy allows mockups for POD items when they accurately represent the product. Show your artwork at the correct scale and frame style.

### Do print-on-demand buyers trust mockup photos?

Buyers trust context. Room mockups help them visualize the print on their wall. Flat files feel like clip art. Room scenes feel like home decor.

### What resolution do I need for Etsy listing mockups?

Etsy recommends at least 2000 pixels on the shortest side. MOCKLIO exports above this by default.

### How long does it take to create mockups vs ordering samples?

Physical samples take 3 to 7 days per design. Digital mockups take 3 to 5 minutes once you know your scene preferences.

### Are digital mockups legal for commercial Etsy listings?

Yes, if you own the artwork and the mockup matches your product. MOCKLIO exports are cleared for Etsy, Shopify, social, and paid ads.
