Best Gift Card Mockup Generators

A single gift card generator goes for $7.95. But you will save money by picking monthly ($14.95/month) or yearly ($89.69/year) subscription.

Treat yourself to making a mockup without Photoshop!

1. Gift card & envelope mockup

I’m still amazed and impressed by how SIMPLE working with a mockup generator is. But what’s even more important is the high-quality outcome that it produces.

And that’s precisely why I’m placing this one first.

My. Fav.

It includes the card and the envelope for storing, offering to create a branded gift card for any store, brand, studio, whatever.

I particularly liked spicing things up by adding a custom background image. I even played with ready-to-use ones but liked mine more.

Enjoy.

If you would like to promote gift cards like my client then I CAN’T  recommend this gift card generator more.

The extremely photorealistic appearance makes your design look even better.

Changing the card’s color and inserting the image takes seconds. I also added a text in the form of a call-to-action but you can also add any of the many available graphics.

Hint: Don’t overcrowd the mockup ’cause it won’t perform as well as you want.

3. Mockup of a gift card & its envelope

A gift card and a holder are ready to rock any branding, custom coloring and logos you want to present.

What I like is the option to add a separate artwork to each item and edit them with a different color.

Background can also be a solid color or any custom gradient, image, pattern – whatever.

My client wanted simplicity, which I easily achieved by picking the backdrop from the color picker.

But you are free to DO YOU!

4. Mockup of a woman holding two gift vouchers

Promoting gift vouchers (for two persons) becomes a piece of cake with this neat and easy-to-use generator template.

This one particularly features a (hair) salon (background reveals it all), which is what I used it for. Barbershops work, too, but feel free to get creative.

The image you import will appear on both vouchers in a SINGLE click. But you can first crop and reposition it a free will.

And if your artwork doesn’t cover the entire card then also change the color accordingly.

5. Screaming girl with a gift card template

This lady is just TOO excited about the gift card she received. And that can be your or your client’s card!

A 525 x 735px design will cover the entire card beautifully. Still, you can change the color of the card, and add text and a graphic, too.

While you can use the outcome anywhere you want, I especially enjoyed the positive response it received on social media (Instagram).

Testing is too much fun because of how fast can you improve the mockup. BOOM.

6. Woman holding a gift card mockup

However, if you don’t want a “too into face” presentation like the above gift card mockup creates, then this one will work wonders.

Highly realistic, emphasizing your card design primarily.

Did I already mention that the gift card in-hand mockups did really well for me?

That’s why I suggest you test them, too.

(And you can quickly test things out without creating a Placeit account, although it’s free and I highly suggest you do – it’ll BOOST your workflow!)

When I worked with a beauty salon, asking me for a gift card design, I PRESENTED it to them using this generator.

Just upload your artwork from your device and finish editing it online once you have it ready.

Con: It’d be so cool if the business card besides the gift card would also be editable. You could then create it exclusively for your client!

8. Two gift cards & a gift card holder mockup

This vertical gift card mockup equips you with many customization options to tailor it to your needs in less than a minute.

All three elements accept your custom design, so you can even present a front and back gift card view.

Plus, the adjustable background ensures you make it such that’ll create a more attention-grabbing effect. (BTW, I used Placeit’s ready-made gradient.)

Play with the features and practice your creativity – it’s so effortless.

Event though generators are my favorite, I still use PSD when more creative freedom is necessary.

(Although some generators are pretty seriously customizable!)

Change the ribbon’s color, modify the background (or choose between the two available ones), slide in your design via smart object and alter lights and shadows.

Instead of giving away just the gift card, pack it in a branded holder and make it EXTRA special.

The high, 4368 x 2912px resolution (300dpi) promise a stunning outcome even in a close-up. Perfect for more detailed designs.

You can also play with four holder and three card effects and three kinds of foils.

Another one that I highly recommend!

How To Create A Gift Card Mockup?

For everyone unsure how to create a realistic gift card presentation – this is the step-by-step how-to for YOU!

Let me tell you a secret: It’s WAY easier than you think. Plus, you don’t need software (read Photoshop) to create a mockup.

I’ll show you how to make it happen in five quick steps using my favorite online mockup generator, Placeit.

5 Steps To Make A Gift Card Mockup:

  • Step 1: Jump over to Placeit where you can find a large list of templates you can use for your or your client’s project. Additionally, you can also use the search bar for a more refined search. (The live search results help a lot.) Pick the image you like.
  • Step 2: When you’re on the template page, navigate the “insert image” and upload your design. I recommend you do this first thing to test it out immediately. You may end up trying a few templates before finding the best, and that’s OK. Placeit allows testing all its mockups for free.
  • Step 3: After finding the perfect position and size for your design, click “crop” to stick it to the mockup.
  • Step 4: Then all you have to do next is to enjoy all the other customization functions to modify the default look however you want. In some cases, you can even upload a custom background!
  • Step 5: Hit “download,” and your work is DONE.
