How do I choose the right mockup for my cover?

Choose a mockup whose visible book area has a similar shape and orientation to your cover. A portrait front cover usually works best in an upright book, tablet, poster, or flat-lay template with a tall image area.

Also consider where you will use the image. Clean, simple scenes work well for store listings and websites, while lifestyle scenes with desks, hands, coffee, or decorative objects can work well for social media. Use the library categories, search field, titles, and tags to narrow the thousands of available templates.
