The shape of your mug mockup is very important for your design. A straight-sided mug provides a flat surface, ideal for logos and photos, ensuring they don’t get distorted.

A tapered mug offers a more modern and elegant feel, perfect for dynamic patterns that wrap nicely around the surface for an artistic result.

FAQ

What formats can I export my custom mug design in?

Our export options support your entire creative workflow from start to finish. Start by downloading high-resolution JPG and PNG images for your core needs, like populating your online store. To elevate your marketing, export an MP4 video showcasing a 360° view for engaging ads. Throughout the process, use the shareable link to instantly send previews to clients for quick feedback and approvals, ensuring a smooth design journey.

What is the difference between glossy and matte finishes?

The finish determines the final look and texture of your custom mug design. A glossy ceramic finish is highly reflective and makes colors appear more vibrant and saturated, which is perfect for bringing photographs to life.


In contrast, a matte ceramic finish has no shine, offering a modern, sophisticated, and trendy feel that works wonderfully for minimalist logos, elegant text, or subtle patterns. Your choice of finish can completely change the personality of your custom mug design.

How can I see what my mug will look like in a real setting?

You can easily visualize your mug in any environment using Pacdora’s AI background generator. This tool lets you type in a description of a scene, like “on a wooden kitchen table” or “in a busy office setting,” and it will create a realistic backdrop for your mockup. This is a great way to see how your custom mug design will look in a real-world context, helping you make better decisions about colors and styles before you finalize your design.

Can I check my mug design from every angle before I finish?

Yes, our real-time 3D preview feature allows you to see your custom mug design from every possible angle. You can click and drag to rotate the mug a full 360 degrees, zoom in to check small details, and see how the artwork is positioned relative to the handle. This interactive feature is essential for catching any alignment issues and ensuring your design wraps perfectly around the curve, so you can be completely confident in the final look before exporting.

Can I create custom mug designs for free on Pacdora?

Yes! You can design mug mockups without any cost on Pacdora. For access to premium and advanced features, please see our pricing page.
