Why sellers switch

The honest answer.

Canva is great for the design itself — logos, social cards, prints. But its mockups look like Canva mockups. Sellers using Hauld for product photos still keep Canva for graphic design.

FAQ

Switching from Canva.

Can I design in Canva and then mockup in Hauld?

Yes — export your design from Canva as PNG, then drop it into Hauld. That’s the simplest way in.

Do I lose Canva Pro features?

No — Hauld is just photos. Keep Canva for design work; we handle the mockups.

Is the quality higher than Canva mockups?

The output is photo-realistic AI rendering — closer to a studio shoot than a template paste-on. Editorial composition by default.
