About LiveSurface
What it does
LiveSurface is photo-real design mockup software that lets you transform flat artwork into stunning, presentation-ready mockups. Upload a design, pick from thousands of 3D-rendered scenes (billboards, product packaging, phone screens, coffee cups, and more), and the Context Engine auto-fits lighting, shadows, and perspective. No Photoshop or 3D modeling skills needed.
Who it’s for
Designed for graphic designers, brand managers, and freelancers who need client-ready presentations or portfolio pieces. It solves the problem of creating realistic mockups quickly without expensive 3D software. It is not for 3D experts or those needing custom 3D modeling.
Real use cases
Create mockups for ad campaigns, product launches, branding decks, and packaging visualization. Export at print-ready resolutions up to 8K. Collaborate with teams using shared workspaces. Available on macOS, iPadOS, and visionOS.
