What you get
Professional PSD mockups built in-house - editable, realistic, high-resolution, and supported by real people.
Layered PSD Files
Creatsy mockups are delivered as fully layered Photoshop .psd files, with layers sorted into clearly named groups. Shadows, highlights, and the background each sit on their own editable layer, and nothing is flattened into a single image. Open it in Photoshop or the free browser editor Photopea and get to work.
- Clearly named, organized layer groups
- Shadows and highlights on separate layers
- Editable background, never flattened
- Works in Photoshop or free Photopea
Smart Objects
Open the smart object, paste your artwork, and save. The design lands on the product with the perspective, warp, and wrap already worked out. Scene lighting and shadows fall back on top, so it reads as a photograph, not a flat paste-in. Swapping a design takes seconds, so one file can carry a whole run of variants and colorways.
- Double-click, paste your design, save
- Perspective, warp, and wrap pre-built
- Scene lighting and shadows sit back on top
- One file covers many variants and colorways
High-Resolution Output
Many scenes are built from real product photography rather than 3D renders, so the fabric and surface read like a studio shot. Files export at high resolution and stay sharp at full zoom, with clean edges where the print sits. The same file works for a hero banner, a paid ad or a product listing.
- Real product photography in many scenes
- Exports ready for print
- Holds detail at full zoom
- Works for banners, ads and listings
Easy to Edit
Colors, backgrounds, and artwork sit on separate, clearly named layers, so you swap a color or background without disturbing the rest of the scene. There is no relighting or shadow work to redo, and the same file works for your next project.
- Edit color and background layers directly
- No relighting or shadow rework needed
- No masking or layer skills required
- One file reused across projects
Fast Support
There is a real in-house team behind every file, not a ticket bot. Before you buy, ask whether a specific mockup fits what you have in mind, and we will tell you. When a smart object or a layer group is tripping you up, send the question and you usually get a reply within 48 hours.
- Real in-house team behind every file
- Replies within 48 hours
- Pre-purchase help picking the right mockup
- Answers on smart objects and layer setup
Who are these mockups for?
For Self-Publishing Authors and Photographers
A proof copy still has to be photographed before it can go in a listing. The A4 landscape set covers four scenes, an open book, an angled shot, a pair and a front-facing view, so a cover approval, a store image and a launch post come out of one file.

For Publishers and Book Designers
Show the same title as buckram cloth, printed hardcover and a sleeved edition before anything reaches a printer. Cloth binding, jacket and sleeve are three separate production decisions, and 17 buckram scenes let the format argument happen over an image instead of a description.

For Children's Book Illustrators and Authors
Nothing on screen shows that a board book is a thick-page object. Put the illustrated cover and a spread on portrait, landscape or cardboard baby board books instead, which is the version a publisher pitch or a portfolio page needs.
For Magazine and Editorial Designers
A4 and 8.5x11 are not the same shape, so a cover that sits right in one crops differently in the other. Both sizes have their own set here, which settles the question before a media kit or a first issue goes out to advertisers.
FAQs
Hardcover books (plain, with a buckram cloth binding and with a sleeve), an A4 landscape book, an A4 magazine and an 8.5 × 11 magazine, board books in portrait and landscape, a cardboard baby book, an artbook, bookplates and a books-on-shelf scene. Paperbacks and softcover journals are not in this category.
Where the view shows them. In the Hardcover Book with Buckram Cloth Cover Binding Mockup Set the cover, the endpapers and the pages are separate smart objects, and the angled views expose the spine. The Hardcover Book & Sleeve Mockup Set adds an editable sleeve and bookmark. Prepare the front, spine and back at final proportions before you paste; each view shows the surfaces that face the camera.
The 8.5×11 Magazine Mockup Set follows the US format and the A4 Magazine Mockup Set follows the European one. Pick the one that matches your print spec. In the 8.5×11 set the magazine takes color and design, and the staples, the laceleaf flower and the paper edges each take a color of their own.
Ex libris labels, the small printed plates pasted inside a cover. It is aimed at stationery designers and illustrators who sell them as a product, and it works as a detail shot next to any of the hardcover scenes.
Export the cover shot and use it on your product page, in ads and on social media. The Standard license covers one business and up to 5,000 end products sold, which for most authors means one imprint. Selling the mockup itself, or a template built on it, is not allowed.
The Free Hardcover Book in Metallic Foil Pouch Packaging PSD Mockup at creatsy.com/freebies shows a hardcover inside a foil mailer, and there is also a free Book in Wrapping Paper Mockup. Both are complete layered files, downloadable with a free account, and a cover can be tested on a real hardcover before you buy a multi-view set.
Why use Book & Magazine mockups?
Creatsy's Books & Magazines category covers hardcover, buckram cloth binding, book and sleeve, artbook, portrait and landscape board books, cardboard baby books, A4 and 8.5x11 magazines, bookplates and a nine-spine shelf scene. Every file is a layered PSD with Smart Objects, opens in Photoshop or the free browser editor Photopea, and carries a commercial license. A book cover is three surfaces pretending to be one. Front, spine and back have to line up as a single wrap, and a flat PDF hides every place where they do not. Smart Objects put the artwork on the assembled object with lighting and paper texture already in place, so a misalignment shows up while it is still cheap to fix. The scenes are reusable, which matters most for a series. The same file takes the second title, then the third, then the seasonal reissue, so a backlist stays visually consistent without booking a photographer for every cover. Some sets go further than the cover. The artbook set opens the inside cover, end paper, paper pages and fabric spine to editing, and the shelf scene carries nine individually editable spines for presenting a whole series in one image.
