"My pillow covers looked flat and boring on a white background. Now I show them on styled couches and beds. My average order value doubled because buyers can visualize them in their space." @CozyCornerDesigns
Built for Etsy Pillow Sellers
Pillow buyers don't just buy a pillow -- they buy a room upgrade. If they can't see your design on a sofa or bed, they scroll past. EditThisPic places your pillow into styled room scenes that help buyers visualize the purchase in their own home. Describe the setting, and get a professional mockup from a single flat product photo.

How to Create Pillow Mockups for Etsy
-
Upload your pillow photo
Drop your pillow image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. A photo of the pillow propped up or laid flat works. Stuff it with filling or tissue paper for volume -- the AI works better with a plump-looking pillow.
Background swaps: 15-20 seconds. Full room mockup scenes: may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe your room mockup scene
Type what you want: 'place this pillow on a modern gray sofa in a bright living room with plants' or 'show on a white bed with layered linens, morning light from window.' Be specific about furniture style, color, and lighting. The AI understands interior design language.
Match the room style to your design aesthetic: 'modern minimalist sofa' for geometric prints, 'cozy farmhouse couch' for floral patterns, 'bohemian daybed' for eclectic designs. -
Review your room mockup
Check that your design is clearly visible on the pillow, the fabric texture reads naturally, and the pillow looks properly proportioned on the furniture. Verify the room lighting matches the mood you want your listing to convey.
Zoom in on the fabric texture and print. Buyers want to see the weave quality and how the design looks on actual fabric, not a flat digital print. -
Refine with markers if needed
If the pillow edges, zipper area, or piping details need cleanup, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Pillow edges against furniture are the most common area that benefits from marker guidance.
If the pillow blends too much into the sofa, tap markers on the pillow edges to help the AI define the boundary clearly.

Common Pillow Mockup Issues
Pillow looks flat and deflated in the mockup
Why: Pillow covers photographed without an insert look limp. The AI can't add volume that wasn't in the original photo.
show this pillow plump and full with natural volume, propped upright on the sofa with a natural lean, fabric showing gentle wrinkles and dimension
Stuff your pillow cover with an insert or wadded tissue paper before photographing. The AI preserves the volume it sees.
Fabric texture is lost or looks too smooth
Why: Smooth backgrounds and even lighting can make the AI over-smooth the fabric surface, losing the textile character.
maintain the fabric texture, weave pattern, and material character, preserve the linen/cotton/velvet surface detail throughout
Mention the specific material: 'linen', 'cotton canvas', 'velvet', or 'burlap' helps the AI understand what texture to preserve.
Pillow blends into the sofa or background
Why: When the pillow color is similar to the furniture, the AI may struggle with edge detection.
Tap markers on the pillow edges, then regenerate with: clearly define the pillow edges against the furniture, maintain visible separation between pillow and sofa
Choose a contrasting furniture color in your prompt. White pillow? Use a dark sofa. Dark pillow? Use a light sofa.
Print design looks distorted or warped
Why: When the AI adds volume to a flat pillow photo, the printed design can stretch unnaturally.
show pillow design with accurate proportions, print pattern maintaining correct geometry and alignment, no stretching or warping
Start with a photo of the pillow stuffed and propped. A 3D starting shape gives the AI better reference for natural design placement.
Room scene style doesn't match my brand
Why: Generic room descriptions may not align with your specific target customer aesthetic.
place pillow on [specific furniture: e.g., 'mid-century walnut sofa'] in a [specific style: e.g., 'Scandinavian minimalist'] interior, [specific lighting: e.g., 'warm afternoon window light']
Be very specific about the room style. 'Boho' and 'minimalist' create completely different moods. Match the room to your pillow's design aesthetic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I show my pillow on different types of furniture?
Yes! Describe any furniture: 'modern gray sofa', 'farmhouse rocking chair', 'white bed with layered linens', or 'outdoor wicker patio chair.' The AI creates realistic room scenes from your single product photo. Create multiple mockups showing the same pillow in different rooms to give buyers decoration ideas.
How do I show fabric texture in my pillow mockups?
Add 'enhance fabric texture visibility' or mention the specific material ('linen weave', 'velvet nap', 'cotton canvas') in your prompt. Also include one close-up texture shot in your listing. The AI preserves and enhances textile details when you tell it the material matters.
Should I photograph the pillow with or without an insert?
With an insert or stuffed with filler. The AI works with what it sees -- a flat, empty cover will still look flat in the mockup. Stuff it with a pillow insert, wadded packing paper, or towels to give it volume and shape before photographing.
What room style converts best for pillow listings?
It depends on your design aesthetic. Bright, modern living rooms with gray sofas are the most universally appealing. For floral designs, farmhouse or cottage settings work well. For geometric or minimalist prints, Scandinavian-style rooms convert highest. Match the room to your target buyer's home style.
Can I create mockups showing both sides of a reversible pillow?
Yes. Photograph each side separately and create a mockup for each. You can even request: 'show this pillow on a sofa with the reverse side slightly visible at an angle' to hint at the dual design in a single image.
How many mockup photos should I include per pillow listing?
Aim for at least 5 of Etsy's 10 allowed photos: one clean white product shot, two different room scenes (sofa and bed), one close-up texture detail, and one lifestyle overview showing the pillow as part of a decorated space. Variety helps different buyers visualize the purchase.
