A 3D book mockup generator that starts from your PDF.

Upload your book, zine or portfolio PDF and open the Photo shoot. Portfolia builds a 3D book from your own pages, lights it with studio HDRI light and lets you frame a product photo without a camera, props or 3D software.

Open the example portfolio

Leaning, spine and flat lay shots

Camera presets stand the book against a wall, show off the spine or lay it flat on a table. Drag the preview to fine-tune the angle.

Closed or open at any spread

Show the cover, or open the book at any page so the spread sits under real light with gutter shading and contact shadows.

Hardback, soft cover or flipbook

Choose the binding, paper finish, lighting, wall and floor, then pick the angle and export the photograph.

What the photo shoot makes

A PNG photograph of your book at the size you choose, from Amazon A+ tiles and square product images to 16:9 website heroes and 9:16 stories, up to the limit your device's graphics allow. Everyone can open the photo shoot and preview every setting; downloading the picture is part of Personal.

What it does not do

It is a visual approximation from your PDF pages, not a print proof. Spine artwork, exact page counts, paper stock and printed colour are not modelled, so check print files with your printer or KDP's own previewer. You need the rights to the artwork you upload.

Before you share

  • Export your cover as the first page and the back cover as the last.
  • Use a sample if you do not want the whole book online.
  • Pick a spread with strong artwork for open-book shots.
  • Choose the export size for where the picture will be used.

A simple viewer for a professional presentation

Choose scroll, page-by-page or PDF flipbook reading. The flipbook offers a clean Simple view and a 3D Studio view with paper finishes, room lighting and wood backdrops. On phones, the book camera follows the current page.

Questions

Is the book mockup generator free?
You can open the photo shoot, change every setting and preview the result on the Free plan. Downloading the PNG photograph needs Personal.
Do I need Photoshop or 3D software?
No. The book is built and lit in your browser from your PDF pages.
Can I make a flat lay?
Yes. The Flat lay preset lays the book on the floor with the lights moved alongside, and works closed or open.
Can I use the pictures on Amazon or social media?
Yes, as long as you own the artwork. Size presets include Amazon A+ image tiles, square product images and social portrait and story formats.
How large can my PDF be?
Up to 30 MB on Free, or up to 100 MB per portfolio on Personal. You can preview larger files first, and the upload box can make a smaller web copy.
