Issue Launch Photos for Magazines and Zines

The new issue, out in the world.

Upload your cover, masthead or issue artwork and we put it on real photos of iPads on cafe tables, canvas totes and posters on a city wall. Launch content for every issue, even the ones you made at the kitchen table.

Make your first one free

One tap with Google. No card.

Print is beautiful. Photographing it is a whole job.

You finish an issue at two in the morning and the files go to the printer. Then you need launch content before the boxes even arrive, and a flat cover on a white background doesn't show anyone what holding it feels like.

Your cover on an iPad on a cafe table looks like someone mid-read. Your masthead on a tote says this is a thing with a community around it. A poster on a city wall suits a launch party or a stockist announcement.

It works for digital editions too. If you publish online, the iPad and laptop photos show the issue the way readers will actually see it.

Add your image. A logo, poster, product shot or full campaign. PNG or JPG.
Tap a photo. Your design goes on in seconds.
Download it. A 2000px image, ready to post.

Real photos. Not AI.

Every photo is a real photograph, shot on a real camera. Your design goes on exactly as it is. Nothing gets redrawn, so it's still your brand.

Questions

Do I need Photoshop?
No. It all happens in your browser.

Is it really free?
Your first one is free when you make an account. After that, top up credits inside the studio. No subscription.

Can I put a spread on instead of the cover?
Yes. Any PNG or JPG works, so a cover, a spread, an illustration from inside or your masthead on its own all go on the same way. It goes on exactly as you made it, so your type and layout stay intact.
