Mockly vs Canva Mockups
Canva includes mockup frame elements as one small piece of a much larger general design tool. Mockly is built around a single workflow: screenshot in, scrolling device-frame video out.

Canva is a genuinely versatile all-in-one design tool — social graphics, presentations, documents, and yes, some mockup frame elements — useful if device mockups are just one small part of a broader design task.
Where Mockly is a better fit
Because Mockly is built around exactly one workflow, there's no need to search through a general template library to find the right device frame or figure out how to animate a scroll effect manually. Upload, choose a device, set the scroll, export — with settings specifically designed for this one job.
Which one should you use
If device mockups are an occasional, small part of broader design work, Canva's general-purpose tools may already cover it. If creating polished, animated device mockup videos is a recurring need — for app store listings, social ads, or product pages — Mockly's dedicated workflow will typically be faster.
Frequently asked questions
Canva supports basic animations and video editing, but it isn't purpose-built for the specific scroll-inside-a-device-frame effect that Mockly generates directly from a single screenshot.
No — Mockly is intentionally narrow, focused only on turning a screenshot into an animated device mockup video, not a general design or presentation tool.
Yes. Export your design from Canva as a PNG or JPG and upload it directly into Mockly to animate it inside a device frame.
