3D Book / E-book Mockup Generator — flat cover to a real-looking book
The book mockup generator takes one flat cover image and uses canvas perspective to turn it into a 3D book with thickness and depth — paperback or hardcover, with a spine and a soft shadow. Great for KDP/Amazon authors, e-book / white-paper / lead-magnet creators and course covers, making a flat cover look like a real book sitting there. It's composited locally in your browser; your cover isn't uploaded.
Book / E-book Mockup Generator is a free online tool from MockCat that runs entirely in your browser — open it, do it, and download the result. Nothing is uploaded, there's no sign-up and no limits.

Frequently asked questions
Which covers work best?
Portrait rectangle covers (around 2:3) work best — KDP paperbacks, Kindle e-books, white papers, lead-magnet e-books, and online-course covers.
Is my cover uploaded?
No — everything is composited locally with canvas; an unpublished cover never leaves your device.
How is it different from the poster mockup?
The book mockup makes a "3D book with thickness" (with a spine); the poster mockup frames a flat image and hangs it on a wall. Pick by the object you're displaying.
