Figma mockup plugins place a design into a scene inside Figma. Muckup is a native Mac app that places designs on real photos, with the photo's light and print finishes.

Who should switch
If your mockups are UI frames, a plugin is handy. For a print identity shown in real places, with a finish and the real light of the scene, a dedicated tool pays off.
They work together
Design in Figma, export to the Designs folder, and Muckup updates every scene using that file.
