[@caseyobrien5798]

Great video Ryan, have you tried lately? Looks like the book cover mock ups are no longer the same and the 3d book cover on transparent background is no longer an option. so disappointing

[@SierraHillbooks]

I just tried this as well and same thing...they no longer offer the book mockups

[@MarcenariaAmadora]

Tks!! Simple and useful!! Questions resolved!! Cheers!

[@dennismccollins3570]

Thank you for the help. You just turned a weak post into an outstanding one.

[@RyanFergy]

Glad I could help, Dennis!

[@TheSpinery]

We are releasing a book this week! Definitely using this!

[@RyanFergy]

Great timing! I hope this mockup helps

[@DeplorableZonie]

Great video Ryan! Thanks for making it clear and concise, not 20-30 minutes long!

[@reinettevisser]

I know Canva really well and I did not know this! Fantastic, thank you so much xxxx

[@englishwithaltini]

Same!

[@englishwithaltini]

I was struggling with this. Thank you so much for sharing! This was incredible.

[@RyanFergy]

No problem! Glad it helped 👍

[@thinkit-liveit]

I've been using Canva for a long time, but thanks to your video I've created (IMO) one hellava impressive 3D book design. I don't think I would have ever done it w/o your video. 👉 THANKS! 👈

[@RyanFergy]

I'm so glad to hear that! Happy to help 👍

[@thinkit-liveit]

@Ryan Ferguson Canva has updated so some of its feature have a different appearance, but I was still able to maneuver my way around and follow your guidance. I wish I could show 👀 you what I accomplished.

[@Rachelgrantcoaching]

Thank you! Saved me so much time and money trying to figure this out on my own!

[@proactivevee]

Thank you so much! You have no idea how valuable this information is. Keep up the great work! 🙌😊

[@sinthiasahrin5807]

Thank you sir❤️ Finally I get the easy solution of my problem... Thanks a lot

[@RyanFergy]

No problem, Sinthia. Glad I could help 👍

[@JacquelineHollows]

Very helpful! I'm launching a Kickstarter campaign for my book and needed some images :)

[@showbizvet]

Nice Tut... I looked and looked on Canva (Pro) and could not fine the "Effects" button. Finally, out of ideas, I clicked "Edit Image" and in that section were the smart mockup.. getting ready to try my first one now..

[@RyanFergy]

Glad you found it! Yes, Canva changed its interface recently so this tutorial is out of date. Nice feature though.

[@KerleyVinas]

Thanks man, I made a really cool looking 3D book thanks to you.

[@christinej5211]

thank you for this video I had been looking for a video to show me how to make this 3-D to start making Ebooks. you rock

[@vinod.sharma]

Thank you so much, brother. You quickly covered all aspects and provided the best method. Perfect video.

[@titilayo234]

Great job. Looks simple enough when you're using that type of Canvas. I can't find book mockups in my mobile app

[@sketcllion8090]

Man thanks a bunch u don't know how much it helped me ❤️

[@RyanFergy]

Awesome 👍 Glad it was helpful

[@cosmin-teodorvatra3322]

Very helpful brother! Thank you for explaining step by step!

[@HeadTripCreations]

Thank you. I had to enable the Chrome WebGL extension in order to access it in Canva; otherwise, it doesn't show up. Much appreciated because I have Canva Pro and do not have to use another service!

[@LizDelaney3]

Thanks so much Ryan. This has been most helpful.

[@itsarpitsharma]

Another ➜ Create new design Then, scroll left ( in mobile) Click on Apps option Then, you will find mockups Then, Print option ( for book cover)

[@tananemcova9450]

Hi Ryan, thank you so much! Clear and understandable for me, even if I am beginner.

[@RyanFergy]

You're welcome, Táña 👍 Glad it was helpful!

[@shrishti6617]

omg this is BRILLIANT!! Thank you so much!!!!!

[@RyanFergy]

No problem! Glad it helped 👌

[@mythicalwitchery]

I have a problem once I add my cover to the mock-up, it desaturates the colour, and I can't figure out why.

[@marco.livio.travels]

same here

[@artbyjosephbennett]

Thanks for this video, Ryan!

[@RyanFergy]

You bet! Thanks for the comment, Joseph 👍

[@singerblinger2008]

I cant find the smart mockup anywhere. looked everywhere

[@TheNewYorRidian]

Thanks !!!! Really needed this

[@Skullie1601]

very helpful video, thanks for sharing!

[@RyanFergy]

No problem, Manik! Glad it helped 👍

[@vtcl1]

This is awesome! I am following along but I'm not seeing the 'Effects' on my toolbar. How can I locate it, please?

[@sontwisted]

click edit image then click see all on smart mockups then scroll all the way down to books

[@Ver0_Cat]

@@sontwisted thank you!

[@HeadTripCreations]

Smart Mockups does not show if you do not have the Chrome WebGL extension enabled. Once you enable it, the Smart Mockups appear under Effects (look under Edit Image).

[@iuliiababiuk6758]

thanks but they recently removed books mockups from canva...

[@FocusEdCamera]

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for!

[@RyanFergy]

I'm glad to hear that! 👍

[@alkattibb]

Very useful video thank you for sharing this with us

[@RyanFergy]

No problem at all. Glad it was helpful, Ali 👍

[@MidwestMarketingMom]

Thanks for the help! It doesn't look like the current free version of Canva has a book template (not sure if pro does), but I can still pick from the other selections.

[@drugbedevictorahiaba2604]

Thank you so much, Ryan!

[@RyanFergy]

No problem! Glad it helped 👍

[@ReThinkYouCoaching]

Perfect! Thanks, Ryan - I thought there HAD to be a way to do this in Canva - and you saved me a ton of time :-)

Thank you very much for this video. I was looking for this. I subscribed to your channel

[@louisemc3680]

Great video- thank you!

[@TheProcessLife]

Thank you for this info. I needed it. What if you're trying to design from your android, Are the smartmockups available on the Canva app on phone? When I click onto effects I don't see the option.

[@RyanFergy]

Hmm good question. I've never used the mobile app. I just downloaded it and can't seem to find it either so I'm guessing not.

[@TheProcessLife]

@@RyanFergy ok. Thank you

[@rebootmindsetcoaching9807]

Thanks so much Ryan, this is fantastic!

[@irreduciblerascal]

Hi, thank you for this video ... just exactly what I was looking for *****

[@jaimemiller6784]

Update: March 2022: The EFFECTS menu is gone. Click the photo to select. Then click EDIT IMAGE and SCROLL DOWN to Smart Mock Ups. Then click ALL.

[@michellefontiona4602]

Thank you very much! I was searching relentlessly for this effect menu until I saw your comment, thank you!

[@b2marketingsolutions]

Me too ! Thanks Jaime !! 👍🍁

[@heikemartinphotography]

Do you have any tips for landscape oriented books? The Smart Mockups only provide portrait orientation.

[@RyanFergy]

Canva has a "Canvas 6" mockup that might pass as a landscape book. Otherwise I think your best bet might be Place It. It's a paid option but reasonable pricing and they have a handful of landscape book mockups. Yellow Images has one as well but it looks like they're a bit more expensive. If you don't like any of those then I see a bunch of vendors on Fiverr that offer landscape book mockups for a good price.

[@heikemartinphotography]

@@RyanFergy, I'll take a look at the Canvas 6 option and Place It. Thank you!

[@citruspress]

My children's picture book is square. Do you know if there is a way to adjust the smartmockup dimension?

[@ellesharie]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@deecross5028]

Is "effects" only available with canva PRO?

[@queen_aishafreeman]

Perfect video! Thank you!

No problem, Aisha 👍 Glad it helped

[@ethicaltraffic558]

[@curtisherbert6330]

[@davebaldy]

[@markbailey7584]

Great .. But I have problem when I try to use flip horizontally feature , for RTL Arabic language we read from right side , so when I clock flip horizontally the text also rotate like you put it on mirror , I don't know how I can flip it to the right and keep the text correct .

[@super-intelligentastrology3572]

wow this is great vid, i wish Canva would put more and not hardcover, and spine option... shame it's so poor options right now, considering how good is Canva otherwise. I tried this other real complicated software and then i forgot how to do it and couldn't find any vid that would help me relearn... it's amazing how difficult it is to easily do this considering how many millions of books are being created now.

[@super-intelligentastrology3572]

@Comprehensible Language - Learn Chinese yeah i forget what i did now... that's the thing w my tech work, so much things to learn, i forget it real quick... try to do it in my free time, but i feel like it's hard to restart anything cos i always forget stuff... and many new stuff to learn... anyway i am using GrooveFunnels and they have some good detailed instructions ... now I got sick from overwork and lack sleep, but I am trying to learn to apply myself in my free time even despite these issues

[@thehoneysociety]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Hey Massimo :) I've added a link to the description to "Contact Ryan." That will go right to my email and helps me understand your business a bit more.

[@sergiodamm3705]

for all of you who dint fiind effects, it's in edit image

[@rianaengelbrecht7092]

[@ahmeds2197]

No effect tab shown to me?

[@curtisherbert6330]

Click edit and use the search box for "smart mockups"

[@b2marketingsolutions]

Thanks Curtis for the Tip

[@Clair_FireBird]

It looks like this feature has now been removed. So sad.

[@MKpurplequeennl]

Sadly they have changed it all and you can't get just that book alone image anymore, it all comes with backgrounds already. Such a shame.

[@renepoggenpoel1711]

I wanted to watch your video, but the music is so annoying. How about videos without music?
