Free Book Mockup Generator

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this book mockup generator really free?
  Yes. Upload your cover, pick a 3D paperback, a 3D hardcover or an ebook on a tablet or phone, and download a PNG. No account, no watermark, and no limit on how many mockups you make.
• Is my cover uploaded anywhere?
  No. The mockup is drawn in your browser. Your cover file never leaves your device, so you can use it on an unreleased book.
• How do I make a 3D book cover mockup?
  Upload the front cover as a JPG, PNG or WebP. Choose 3D paperback or 3D hardcover, set the page count so the spine has the right thickness, pick a spine colour, and turn the book to show the spine or the page edges. Then download the PNG.
• How thick is the spine?
  The tool uses Amazon KDP's spine formula: page count times the paper thickness (white, cream or colour paper), plus the hardcover allowance. The trim size is matched to the shape of your cover, and you can change it.
• Does the PNG have a transparent background?
  Yes, by default. The book and its soft shadow sit on a transparent background, so you can place the mockup on your website, a social post or an ad. You can also pick a white, grey or custom background.
• Will my cover look stretched?
  No. The cover keeps its own proportions in every style. The 3D styles add perspective as the book turns, and the ebook style fits the whole cover on the screen.
• Can I get mockups of my book in a real scene?
  Yes, on Pro. Upload the same cover to the External Cover Studio to make AI scene mockups (a reader holding the book, a desk, a bookshelf) for 1 credit each, or buy the Book Launch Kit for 23 launch images from one cover.
