Generate professional t-shirt mockups at $0.002 each. Automate your POD workflow with sub-second API delivery and 99.9% uptime.
The Challenge
POD sellers spend 15+ hours per week creating t-shirt mockups manually. Every new design requires opening Photoshop, placing artwork, adjusting layers, and exporting—repeatedly for each color variant and style. This manual process creates a bottleneck that limits how many products you can list.
15+ hours/week
Traditional mockup platforms charge $0.15-$0.30 per render, making bulk generation prohibitively expensive. At 10,000 mockups monthly, you are looking at $1,000-$3,000 just for product images. For POD sellers operating on thin margins, these costs eat directly into profits.
$1,000+/month
Growth in POD is directly tied to catalog size and listing velocity. Without automated mockup generation, expanding from 100 to 1,000 products means 10x more manual work. Your business growth becomes limited by how fast you can create mockups, not market demand.
10x slower growth

SudoMock provides a developer-first API that transforms your PSD templates into an automated mockup factory. Generate thousands of professional t-shirt mockups programmatically at a fraction of the cost.
Integrate mockup generation directly into your workflow. Upload a design, receive a mockup—no manual intervention needed.
