Learn how to use the Render Center to generate and preview realistic product mockups before publishing your listing.

# Using the Render Center to Preview Mockups The **Render Center** is where you generate and fine-tune product mockups for your listings. Access it from the listing setup flow after designing your product. ## What is the Render Center? The Render Center lets you: - Generate photorealistic mockups of your design on the actual product - Switch between different product colors and placements - Choose from standard renders, AI photorealistic renders, or 3D renders - Preview how your product looks from multiple angles ## Generating Mockups 1. Open the Render Center from your listing setup page 2. Your design will be automatically applied to the product 3. Click **Generate Mockups** to create your product images 4. Select your preferred mockup style from the toolbar ## Mockup Types ### Standard Renders Flat product renders generated by Printful. Fast and reliable for most products. ### AI Photorealistic Renders Uses AI to place your product in realistic lifestyle scenes. Best for apparel and accessories. ### 3D Renders Interactive 3D previews showing your design wrapped on the actual product model. ## Choosing Colors and Placements - Use the **color dots** below the preview to switch product color variants - Switch between **Front**, **Back**, and **Sleeve** placements using the placement tabs - Each placement can have independently generated mockups ## Tips - Generate mockups for each color variant you plan to sell - Use at least 3–4 mockup images per listing for best conversion - AI renders work best with simple, bold designs on solid-colored products - 3D renders are recommended for all-over-print (AOP) products ## Saving and Using Mockups When you're happy with your mockups, click **Save** or **Approve** to add them to your listing. Your approved mockups will appear in the listing image gallery. Need help with a specific mockup type?
