Kittl helps you create the design. 99tools helps you produce the catalog.
Kittl is a strong creative tool. But once your artwork is ready, POD production becomes a different job: applying many designs across many mockups, creating consistent product cards and getting the files organized fast.
Typography, graphics, templates, editing and creative tools.
Multiple designs × multiple complete product cards, rendered and organized in batches.
Design creation and catalog production are not the same workflow
Kittl is strongest earlier in the process. 99tools is built for what happens after the design is finished.
Build the visual concept.
Typography, graphics, layout.
Creative work is done.
Apply designs at scale.
Organized listing-ready assets.
Both can create mockups. The batch logic is very different.
Kittl can distribute one design across multiple mockups, but the workflow remains centered around individual mockup settings and editing.
Use the finished artwork or artboard.
Preview the design on multiple mockups.
Individual mockup settings are handled separately.
Positioning and other edits remain per mockup.
There is no multi-design batch production workflow comparable to 99tools.
Each card contains five coordinated images.
Process multiple prints in the same run.
Set garment color, print size and placement mode.
Pair in order or apply each design to all selected cards.
Each finished product card is already in its own folder.
Each product card contains five coordinated photos, so one batch can produce up to 1,000 final images.
Why that matters
- No need to process one design at a time
- No need to rebuild five-image listing sets manually
- No repeated color setup for every mockup
- No manual sorting of finished product-card folders
- Better fit for frequent drops and large POD catalogs
Your own generated PNGs can become a private product-card catalog
This is especially useful if you create scenes elsewhere and want to reuse them as a repeatable production system instead of starting from scratch every time.
Start from your own PNG or other image assets.
Follow the preparation guide.
The images become one coordinated private card.
Only you can access it.
Apply multiple designs, choose colors and render complete cards at scale.

Use the tool that matches the stage you are in
Kittl is stronger if you need…
- Design creation and editing
- Typography, graphics and templates
- AI-assisted creative tools
- A broad creative workspace
- Mockups as part of the design process
99tools is stronger if you need…
- Multiple designs processed in one run
- Multiple complete product cards in one run
- Less repetitive per-mockup editing
- Five coordinated images per product card
- Private product cards from your own generated PNG assets
- No subscription and non-expiring credits
If the design is already finished, the bottleneck is no longer design.
At that point, the job is production: applying designs, keeping mockups consistent, creating complete product cards and exporting them in an organized format.
Kittl alternative FAQ
What is the main difference between Kittl and 99tools?
Kittl is primarily a design platform with mockup tools. 99tools is focused on automated production of complete POD product cards across multiple designs.
Does Kittl have batch mockup generation?
Kittl can apply one design across multiple mockups, but individual mockup settings and adjustments are still handled separately. It does not offer the same multi-design × multi-product-card batch workflow as 99tools.
Can 99tools process several designs at once?
Yes. You can upload up to 10 designs and select up to 20 product cards in one batch.
Can I use generated PNG mockups in 99tools?
Yes. With My Mockups, you can submit your own image assets according to the preparation guide, including generated PNG mockups. They can be prepared into private product cards for repeated batch use.
Does 99tools require a subscription?
No. 99tools uses credits, has no automatic renewal and purchased credits do not expire.
Which tool should I use if I still need to create the design itself?
Kittl is the more complete creative environment for design creation. 99tools is designed for the production stage after the artwork is ready.
