Hi all! This is my first time starting a topic here, so I hope it's ok to share something my husband and I have been working on! 🙂
We have just launched an online mockup editor that lets you upload your Zazzle design, and download a finished mockup, no software or editing skills needed!
You can preview before buying, and it goes without saying that we never see or store your uploads, everything happens on your own screen. Honestly, I wish we’d had this tool back when we were adding cover photos to hundreds of designs!

We started taking our own mockup photos around two years ago when Zazzle introduced cover photos. We knew nothing about photography, so we bought a second-hand camera, a few lights, and began taking photos in the kitchen! It was definitely a learning curve, but over time we have built up a collection of photos. Like many of you, after the recent Zazzle changes we decided to build our own website and learn affiliate marketing for our designs. We decided to combine the projects and create an easy cover photo tool for fellow Zazzlers, to hopefully make life a little easier for those of you that are interested! There is no subscription, once you purchase a mockup you have unlimited downloads. To celebrate our launch, we're running a sale on cover photos. 🙂
All of our mockups are photos we have taken ourselves in our home studio, nothing is AI generated. The invitations are real blank invites we ordered from Zazzle, and all props are real physical objects that we style into scenes (we now have way too many boxes of pampas grass and woven mats!). At the moment, we offer 5x7, 3.5x5, 3.5x2, acrylic, and invitation suite cover photos. If you have any suggestions for future cover photos, I'd love to hear them!
If you'd like to see some of our mockups in action, our stores are https://www.zazzle.com/store/cali_graphics & https://www.zazzle.com/store/invitationsandstamps (Just a quick note: cards and collection photos are the ones we’ve taken ourselves, we haven’t gotten around to doing all the signs and stamps yet!)
Right now, the site only lets you purchase one product at a time, we’re working on fixing that! We also plan to keep adding new cover photos to the website, so there will be more options over time. If you have any suggestions or feedback, we'd really appreciate it!!
I really hope this tool helps make cover photos a little easier for anyone who needs it. Thanks for taking the time to read!! 🙂
