The Mockups tool turns your flat artwork into product-photography-style renders, your box on a table, a stack of cards, a board laid out for play. Useful for sell sheets, social media, and pitches without paying a photographer.
What this page helps you do
Render your box art on a 3D mockup.
Render card stacks and other components.
Export at the right resolution for the use case.
Open the tool
Tools → Pre-production → Mockups.
Pick a mockup template
The tool offers a variety of pre-built scenes:
Box renders: different box styles, angles, lighting.
Card stacks: fanned, stacked, single card.
Table shots: game laid out as if mid-play.
Component close-ups: tokens, tiles, dice.
Pick a scene that fits how you want to show off the game.
Upload your art
For each component slot in the scene, upload your art. The tool maps it onto the 3D model with appropriate perspective and lighting.
For best results:
Use high-resolution source art (300 DPI at intended print size, or similar).
Match the aspect ratio of the slot to avoid stretching.
Use art with good contrast and clear focal points, busy art reads fine in close-up but looks muddy in wide shots.
Render and export
Click Render. The tool takes a few seconds to generate. You can adjust angle, lighting, and crop after the initial render.
Export options:
PNG: for web, social, embeds. Pick 1×, 2×, or 4×.
JPEG: smaller files for email or low-bandwidth use.
Save the result and use it on a sell sheet, in a public catalog game page, or anywhere you want to show your game.
Tips & common questions
The render looks low-quality. Most often a low-resolution source. Re-export your art at higher resolution and re-upload.
Can I add my own custom mockup template? Not today. We're tracking custom templates on the roadmap.
Can I save renders to a game's Media tab? Yes, download the export, then upload to the game's Media tab. We're working on direct save in the future.
The mockup uses default art, not my upload. Make sure each slot has been filled. Slots without an upload use a generic placeholder.
Are these usable for actual product photography needs? Mockups are great for pitches, social media, and sell sheets. For final retail product shots, professional photography is still more polished, but for 95% of designer use cases, Mockups gets the job done.
