Origami Swan and Two Standing Planners Mockup

Frequently asked questions

What do I get when I buy this notebook mockup?

You get one layered PSD file at 4400 x 6500 px and 300 dpi, with tidy, clearly named layers and a smart object for each notebook. The package is around 47 MB. It is a digital template, so nothing physical ships and you can start editing as soon as the download finishes.

What can I change in the scene?

You can change the color and the design of both standing notebooks, the color of the origami swan, and the color and design of the background. The cover art goes in through smart objects, so a design, a pattern, or branding sits on the book with the shading and edges already over it. The swan can also be moved or taken out of frame, while the books hold their standing position.

How do I put my cover on the notebooks?

Double-click a notebook smart object in the layers panel. It opens as its own canvas where you place or paste your cover art and line it up with the guide. Save that canvas with Ctrl or Cmd + S, and back in the main file your design appears on the standing book with the shading and edge already in place. Each book has its own smart object, so you can show two covers at once.

Can I move the origami swan?

Yes. Unlike most elements in a scene like this, the swan is set up to move, so you can shift it, angle it, or slide it out of the frame if you want a cleaner shot. It also takes a color change, so you can match it to your palette or keep it plain white as a soft accent.

Do I need Photoshop, or does it work in Photopea?

The PSD opens in Adobe Photoshop, and it also opens in Photopea, the free browser-based editor. Photopea reads the smart objects the same way Photoshop does, so you can add your covers, recolor the books and background, and export a finished image without paying for software. Keep the smart objects unflattened, since those layers are what wrap your art onto the notebooks.

Can I change the background?

Yes. The background takes both a color and a design change, so you can set a solid brand color, drop in a soft pattern, or place a texture behind the books. That lets you match the backdrop to your packaging or your shop style without leaving the file, and it keeps the whole image on brand.

Will my cover look realistic on the book?

Yes. The shading, the edge of the cover, and the soft shadows sit above your design as their own layers, so a flat cover reads as if it is printed on a real standing book. Bold designs and larger type show most clearly, and fine detail stays crisp across the flat face of the cover.

Does it work for journals and planners too, not just notebooks?

Yes. The books are standing hardcover style, so the same file suits planners, journals, diaries, sketchbooks, and notebooks equally. You control the cover and the color, so whatever you are branding, the mockup adapts to it without any change to the scene.

Can I use it for more than one product or listing?

Yes, the file is reusable. Load new covers and colors, export, and repeat for the next product. Many sellers keep one scene like this as the house style for a stationery line, so every listing shares the same layout and light and the shop reads as one considered collection.

What formats can I export for my shop?

Once your covers are in, export straight from Photoshop or Photopea to a standard web image such as JPG or PNG, at whatever size your platform prefers. The 300 dpi source also holds up if you need a larger, print-ready file for packaging or a poster. The listing includes the layered PSD, and the exports are yours to make from it.

Is the layout portrait or landscape?

The file is portrait, 4400 x 6500 px, so the standing books run up a tall frame. That shape works well for listing thumbnails, phone-first feeds, and vertical pins, and you can still crop to a square or a wider format from the same master if a platform needs it.

Are the notebooks a real product I will receive?

No. This is a digital mockup for presenting your own designs. The books, swan, and background you see in the preview are a template, and nothing is shipped. What you download is the PSD you edit and export from.

Can I crop the image for different platforms?

Yes. The 4400 x 6500 px source at 300 dpi leaves room to crop to a square for a listing thumbnail, a tighter vertical for a story, or a wider strip for a banner and still keep sharp detail. Export each size from the same master so your listing, social post, and ad all match.
