Make a mockup photo-real

The plain studio preview is exact: real stitch files, real inches. The photo-real pass goes one step further and produces a picture that looks like a photograph of the finished, embroidered piece, with thread sheen and natural light.

1. 1Place your design in the Mockup Studio the way you want it.
2. 2Tap Make it photo-real. The picture usually takes about fifteen seconds.
3. 3Read the words on the result before you use it. The picture is redrawn, so letters can occasionally come out wrong. If every word is exactly right, tap the confirm button and this picture becomes what you save, download, or send. If anything looks off, keep the plain preview instead. The plain preview is always exact.

Good to know

If you change anything after making the picture, the words, the framing, or the blank, the photo-real picture clears itself so an out-of-date picture can never go out.

Photo-real pictures come from your monthly AI photo allowance, which is shared with listing photos: 50 pictures a month on the Maker plan, 150 on Shop, and 300 on Atelier. Your Billing page shows how many you have used. On the Free plan these two features are locked, and upgrading turns them on right away.
