Common questions
- What is a book cover mockup?
- A book cover mockup shows your flat cover artwork rendered on a realistic 3D book, rather than as a plain rectangle. It helps readers picture the physical product, which looks more professional and trustworthy in a shop listing or advert. This generator creates one from your own cover in seconds, ready to download as a PNG.
- Is this book mockup generator really free?
- Yes, the tool is completely free to use, with no watermark on your download. Upload your cover, position the 3D book and export a PNG at no cost. It is designed for indie authors and self-publishers who want a professional-looking mockup for marketing without paying for design software or a subscription service.
- Are my cover files uploaded anywhere?
- No. The generator runs entirely in your browser, so your artwork is processed on your own device and nothing is sent to a server. That keeps an unpublished cover private until you choose to share it. You can create and download your mockup with confidence that the file stays with you.
- What image format do I need to upload?
- Upload your flat cover as a JPG or PNG, or a PDF export of your front cover. For the sharpest result, use a high-resolution image at the full cover size. If you are still building your cover, our Book Cover Template Generator gives you the exact dimensions to design to first.
- Where should I use my 3D book mockup?
- Use it anywhere you want your book to look tangible: your Amazon or shop listing, author website, email newsletter, blog posts and social media. A 3D mockup tends to catch the eye more than a flat cover, especially on launch day. Export a PNG at a good size so it stays crisp wherever you place it.
