How it works

  1. Upload the vehicle photo

    Drop in a photo of the car, truck, or van that needs the wrap. Shoot the vehicle from the angle you want to show the client. Side profiles, three-quarter views, and front angles all work. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple full-body wraps: 30 seconds. Detailed multi-panel designs with specific panel alignment: may need 2-3 refinements.

  2. Add your wrap design as reference

    Click '+ Add reference image' below the prompt and upload your wrap design file. This can be a flat design export from Illustrator, a pattern swatch, or even a photo of another wrapped vehicle you want to replicate. The AI extracts the design and maps it onto the vehicle's body panels.

    Tip: Flat design files on transparent or white backgrounds overlay most cleanly. If your design is a full vehicle template, crop to the visible panels for the angle you uploaded.

    Copy one of these to get started:

  3. Describe the application

    Type how the design should be applied: 'overlay the wrap design from the reference onto this car, covering the full body with the design following the door lines and wheel arches.' Specify which panels to cover and how the graphics should flow across seams.

    Tip: Mention specific panels for partial wraps: 'apply the design to the hood and front fenders only, leaving the doors and rear in the original color.'

  4. Generate and review

    Check that the wrap follows the car's body lines naturally. Zoom in on panel gaps, wheel arches, and bumper transitions. The design should distort correctly around curves and maintain consistent color across the whole vehicle.

  5. Refine with markers if needed

    If the wrap missed a panel or applied to the wrong area, tap a marker on the specific panel and regenerate. Useful when the AI wraps the roof but you wanted only the sides, or when a logo needs repositioning on a specific door.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Most full-body wraps apply correctly from description alone.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Wrap Shops & Client Approval

Show clients exactly how their wrap will look on their actual vehicle before printing. Upload the customer's car photo and your design file to create approval-ready mockups without 3D templates.

Common Scenarios

  • Color change wrap previewed on customer's exact vehicle for approval
  • Commercial branding wrap shown on client's fleet truck before printing
  • Custom graphic wrap mocked up on sports car for design sign-off
  • Partial wrap design shown on sedan to confirm panel coverage

Best Practices

  • Photograph the client's vehicle from the angle that shows the most branded panels
  • Export your design as a flat file with the key graphics visible at the matching angle
  • For partial wraps, specify which panels to cover in your prompt to avoid full-body application
  • Send the mockup directly to clients for faster approval cycles

Fleet Branding & Commercial Vehicles

Preview fleet branding across different vehicle types before committing to a wrap order. Upload each vehicle in your fleet and overlay the same brand design to check consistency across sedans, vans, and trucks.

Common Scenarios

  • Corporate logo wrap previewed across a fleet of delivery vans
  • Service company branding overlaid on work trucks for bid presentation
  • Delivery fleet branding mockup shown to franchise owners
  • Moving company graphics applied to box trucks for marketing material

Best Practices

  • Photograph each fleet vehicle type from the same angle for consistent mockups
  • Use the same reference design across all vehicles to verify brand consistency
  • Include the company name and phone number placement in your prompt for commercial wraps
  • Generate multiple angles per vehicle for a complete presentation deck

Race Car & Custom Builds

Preview race liveries, sponsor placements, and custom wrap designs on performance vehicles. Upload the car and your livery design to see how sponsor logos flow across aero panels and curves.

Common Scenarios

  • Racing livery with sponsor logos overlaid on race car for team approval
  • Drift car custom wrap design previewed before printing for an event
  • Show car custom graphic wrap mocked up for car meet display
  • Track day car with number graphics and sponsor decals for positioning review

Best Practices

  • Photograph the car from the angle that shows the most sponsor-heavy panels
  • Include specific sponsor placement instructions: 'main sponsor on door, secondary on fender'
  • For complex liveries with multiple colors, use a high-resolution design reference
  • Generate both left and right side views for complete livery coverage review

If something looks off

Wrap design looks flat and doesn't follow the car's curves

Why: The AI applied the design like a sticker instead of mapping it to the vehicle's 3D contours. This happens when the prompt doesn't mention body lines.

Try: overlay the wrap design following the car's 3D body contours, panel curvature, and surface reflections, not as a flat overlay
Try This →

Tip: Always include 'following body lines and contours' to get proper perspective distortion on curved panels.

Design applied to windows, wheels, or trim instead of just body panels

Why: Without panel-specific instructions, the AI may wrap everything including glass, rubber, and chrome trim.

Try: overlay the wrap design on the painted body panels only, excluding windows, wheels, tires, headlights, and chrome trim
Try This →

Tip: List what to exclude: 'excluding windows, wheels, and trim' keeps the wrap on paint surfaces only.

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific panel you want wrapped, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS panel specifically.' Use them when the description alone is ambiguous.

Wrap colors don't match the reference design

Why: Lighting differences between the reference design and the vehicle photo caused the AI to shift colors for consistency.

Try: overlay the wrap design keeping the exact colors from the reference file, adjusting only brightness and shadows to match the vehicle's lighting
Try This →

Tip: Add 'preserve exact brand colors from reference' when color accuracy matters for client approval.

Design doesn't flow continuously across panel seams

Why: The AI treated each panel independently instead of flowing the design across door gaps and body lines.

Try: apply the wrap design as one continuous graphic flowing across all panel seams, with the pattern aligning at door gaps and fender joints
Try This →

Tip: Mention 'continuous across panel seams' for designs that span multiple body panels without visual breaks.

Partial wrap bleeds onto panels that should stay unwrapped

Why: The AI extended the design beyond the specified panels. This is common when panel boundaries aren't clearly defined in the prompt.

Try: apply the wrap to the hood and front fenders ONLY, with a clean hard edge where the design ends at the A-pillar, keeping the doors in the original paint color
Try This →

Tip: Use 'ONLY' in caps and describe where the wrap edge should stop. Name the body line or landmark.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark which panels to wrap before describing?

No. Describe the panels in words: 'overlay the wrap on the hood, doors, and rear quarter panels.' The AI understands vehicle body part references. Use markers only for precision — like specifying an exact logo placement on a specific door, or when the AI keeps wrapping the wrong panel.

How do I overlay my wrap design onto a customer's car photo?

Upload the customer's car photo as the main image. Click '+ Add reference image' and upload your wrap design file — an Illustrator export, pattern swatch, or even a photo of a previously wrapped vehicle. Type 'overlay the wrap design from the reference onto this car, following body lines and contours.' The AI composites the design onto the vehicle in 30 seconds.

Is there a free vehicle wrap mockup tool that doesn't require signup?

Yes. EditThisPic overlays your actual wrap design onto any vehicle photo completely free, with no account and no watermark. Upload car photo + design reference, describe the application, and download the mockup. One free edit per week, or purchase credits starting at $1.99 for more.

What file format should my wrap design be in?

Any image format works: JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. Export your design from Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or Photoshop as a PNG with a transparent or white background for the cleanest overlay. A simple color swatch works for solid color change wraps. Even a phone photo of a material sample can work as a reference.

Can I overlay a wrap on just part of the car?

Yes. Specify which panels in your prompt: 'apply the wrap to the hood and front fenders only, keeping the doors and rear in the original color.' The AI respects panel boundaries when you name them. For accent graphics or racing stripes, describe exactly where the design should start and end.

How is this different from AI-generated wrap visualizers?

AI-generated wrap tools create imaginary designs from a text description. This tool overlays YOUR actual design file — the one you created in Illustrator or your design software — onto a real vehicle photo. The design is yours, not AI-invented. This is the difference between 'generate a wrap idea' and 'show my client how their approved design looks on their car.'

Will the overlay look realistic enough for client presentations?

For most use cases, yes. The AI follows body contours, adjusts lighting, and maps the design across panels realistically. Wrap shops use these mockups for client approval before printing. Complex liveries with many sponsors may need 2-3 refinements to get exact placement right. Download at full resolution for presentations.

Can I use this for fleet vehicles like vans and trucks?

Yes. Upload any vehicle type — sedans, SUVs, vans, box trucks, Sprinters, or pickups. The AI adapts the wrap design to whatever vehicle shape you upload. For fleets, upload each vehicle type separately with the same design reference to verify brand consistency across different body styles.
