Does it do square picture book sizes?

Yes: 8.5 x 8.5 and 8 x 10 among the trims, as a hardback or paperback, with the spine from your page count.

Is the cover in these pictures a real book?

No: it's a made-up cover in the genre, so you can see the room. In the studio it's your own.

Yes, to start, with no account and no watermark: the 3D paperback and hardback, turned up to 45° either way, exported at up to twice the size. Pro adds the full turn to the back, the open book, bookmarks, the ebook on an e-reader or tablet, the turning book video, the dust jacket, read and well loved copies, several books in one picture, the scenes and three times the size. You can try every Pro option on the canvas first; the export then carries a small preview tape.

What the children's book mockup does

Picture books are square, hardback and bright, and most mockup templates are none of those: a tall paperback on a desk next to a coffee.

DudeCovers builds your picture book at its real trim, 8.5 x 8.5 or 8 x 10 among them, as a hardback with a rounded spine. Then there are two rooms for it: a sunny playroom table with wooden blocks, a pot of crayons and a toy rocket, and a child's bedtime shelf with a glowing moon night light, a teddy and paper stars on the wall.

Children's book mockup features

Playroom table

The first of the genre's two rooms. Lay your book on the table or stand it up, and drag it round.

Bedtime shelf

The second, in a different light and angle, so a launch doesn't use the same picture twice.

Your real book

The 3D book from your own cover file: paperback, hardback or jacket, any trim, and your whole series too.

Lit by the room

The room's own light and shadow fall on your book, and four sliders nudge its tone.
