Among Insight’s image tools is a Mockup Editor, which helps you create 3D book images with transparent backgrounds using your cover designs.
These mockup images can be downloaded, and they are available to use in Insight’s Image Editor tool—which gives you a quick way to create advertising and social media graphics.
Here are three ways to use our Mockup Editor.
Use Existing Book Cover Images
If you’ve uploaded a book to Insight which already has a cover image, that image will automatically be available in the Mockup Editor.
- From your book, click Actions — Image Tools — Mock Up Editor.
- Next, select the 3D design you want to use.
- Then, in the editor, select your cover from the images at the bottom of the window.
- Alternatively, upload an image from your computer by clicking “Select Images” at the bottom of the window.
- Drag the cover image to fit the canvas, then click “Save and Exit” at the top right.
The resulting mockup image will be saved in the Images tab of your document. You can download it, or use it in Insight’s Image Editor.
Add Elements to a Cover
Insight’s Mockup Editor includes all the same tools as our Image Editor, including AI image generation, text boxes, and shapes.
