The tools will save your image and give you a URL, now you can share that URL with anyone. When someone visits this URL, they will be able to see your mockup in completely adjusted to their screen size. This makes these mockup online transfer tools very useful. But there are some things you must keep in mind when using these tools. If you ignore these tips, these tools may end up costing you more than they are worth.

Web Security

It is vital that the tool you are using is publicly known for being clean software. If you are using a tool that not many people know about, you better investigate to see if the tools are not malicious or anything like that. Many tools have been banned from Google and the WWW because of being malicious and contain malware. These tools are after your data and can install virus codes in your system that continuously sends them data. This extra software on your system can cost you a lot. Your system can suffer from slow speeds. You can lose a lot of important data in the hands of hackers and blackmailers.

Display Quality

Before transferring a mockup to your team or client you must check to see the quality of the mockup online transfer tool. Some of these tools make work very difficult just by tempering with the pixel density, image size, dimensions, and other factors of your mockup. This basically ruins your work and the client or your team receives a file that is not the same as the intended design. So, make a copy of your mockup and use it with your preferred tool to test it. If the results are satisfactory only then you should keep using this tool otherwise find a new one. Because you don’t your client to receive a bad copy of your mockup.

Theft Protection

There are some mockup transfer tools that are evolved in stealing mockup designs and selling these designs on the dark web, there are very few trustworthy tools out there. Most tools would not install any malware on your website, but once you upload your mockup on their website, they will take advantage of your trust. They will not disturb you from using the tool, you will get the link, and will be able to share your mockups. But on the backend, they have already made a copy of your mockups and will sell them on the dark web or any platform that would allow them to sell cheap copies. This is not something new, so you may have to investigate before using these mockup online transfers.

Working URLs

As the basic function of the tools is to store your mockup and give you a sharable URL, sometimes these tools have bugs in them. So, do test them before you use them officially. Sometimes the URLs don’t work, sometimes they show the wrong image, and sometimes they distort the files. This is very common in new tools, so you will have to excessively test them before you use them officially. Sometimes malicious websites use this bug and hacks the tool to give you a false URL. When you share this link to someone there instead of showing your mockup online the URL takes the user to a malicious site and infects their system with some kind of virus. This way they get a virus attack on their system and you get a lawsuit from them because you shared the URL in the first place.

Additional Functions

Every tool has some gimmicky function that you may or may not like it. But one thing is certain you have to test these extra functions before using them officially or for a client’s project. Don’t recommend these tools to anyone unless you are sure the tool is safe to use.
