Generate professional hardcover, paperback, and ebook mockups at $0.002 each. Automate your publishing workflow with sub-second API delivery and 99.9% uptime.
The Challenge
Self-publishing authors spend 20+ hours creating mockups for each book release. Between learning Photoshop, finding quality templates, and rendering variations for different platforms, your launch timeline stretches from days to weeks while competitors get to market faster.
20+ hours per book
Quality book mockups from freelancers or design services cost $50-$150 per set. For self-publishers earning 30-70% royalties, this upfront investment eats into margins before you sell a single copy. The self-publishing market is $2.3B annually, but tight margins mean every dollar matters.
$50-$150 per mockup set
Prolific authors average 5+ titles in their backlist. When you update covers, launch box sets, or run promotions, regenerating mockups for your entire catalog becomes a project in itself. Manual mockup creation simply cannot scale with your publishing ambitions.
