Made with Creatsy

Real designs. Real customers. See how creatives use Creatsy mockups to turn their artwork, branding, and product ideas into polished visuals.

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.

Visit our help center
  • 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.

Visit our help center
  • 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.

Why use Book & Magazine mockups?

Create polished book and magazine visuals quickly, without arranging a new photo shoot for every cover, edition or campaign. Place your artwork through Smart Objects and let the prepared perspective, textures, lighting and shadows integrate it naturally into covers, spines, pages, sleeves and bookplates. Each mockup file is reusable: swap in new artwork, compare concepts and create as many covers, layouts, editions and colorways as you need from the same scene. This reusable workflow helps you produce consistent product listings, portfolio images, client presentations, publishing pitches, launch campaigns and social content faster. Test more ideas and refresh a whole series without rebuilding the scene or commissioning another photo shoot.
