"Stainless steel tumblers are a nightmare to photograph. This tool removed the reflections and made my epoxy designs look incredible. Orders tripled." @TumblerQueenCrafts
Built for Etsy Tumbler Sellers
Tumbler buyers want to see the full design, not a reflection of your kitchen ceiling. The cylindrical shape and metallic surface make tumblers one of the hardest POD products to photograph well. EditThisPic removes reflections, evens lighting, and creates lifestyle scenes that show your design the way it deserves to be seen -- all from a single phone photo.

How to Create Tumbler Mockups for Etsy
-
Upload your tumbler photo
Drop your tumbler image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Photograph the side with your main design facing camera. Phone photos work -- the AI handles reflections and lighting issues.
Reflection removal: 15-20 seconds. Full lifestyle mockups: may need 2-3 refinements for natural integration. -
Describe your ideal mockup
Type what you want: 'remove reflections and show on white background' or 'place this tumbler on a car dashboard with morning sunlight.' Mention 'remove reflections' for stainless steel tumblers. Be specific about the scene and lighting direction.
Always include 'remove reflections' for metallic tumblers. It's the single biggest improvement. Then describe the background scene you want. -
Review design visibility
Check that your wrap-around design is clearly visible, epoxy or vinyl details are sharp, and text or monogram elements are readable. Verify the tumbler shape looks natural and proportional in the mockup scene.
Tumbler buyers zoom in on the design. Make sure small text, names, and fine glitter details are crisp at full zoom. -
Refine with markers if needed
If the lid, straw hole, or handle area needs cleanup, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Tumbler lids and sliding drink openings are common areas that benefit from marker guidance.
The lid-to-body transition is the trickiest area for the AI. A marker there helps preserve the seam line accurately.

Common Tumbler Mockup Issues
Reflections still visible on stainless steel surface
Why: Stainless steel creates strong mirror-like reflections that can be especially stubborn at certain angles.
completely remove all reflections, glare, and mirror effects from the tumbler surface, reveal the full design with no interference, maintain metallic appearance without mirror reflections
Photograph in a room with diffused lighting (overcast window, not direct sun). Less harsh reflection in the original gives the AI more design detail to work with.
Wrap-around design looks distorted on the curve
Why: The cylindrical surface naturally distorts designs at the edges. The AI may exaggerate this when repositioning.
show the tumbler design with natural cylindrical perspective, design wrapping smoothly around the surface without warping or distortion
Photograph the tumbler with your main design element centered and facing the camera. The AI preserves what it can see clearly.
Lid or straw area looks messy after edit
Why: Tumbler lids, sliding openings, and straw holes are small complex details that can lose definition.
Tap markers on the lid area, then regenerate with: preserve tumbler lid details, sliding drink opening, and straw hole clearly
Markers on the lid tell the AI this is a precise product feature. One or two markers there usually fixes it.
Glitter or epoxy texture looks flat after editing
Why: Glitter and epoxy have subtle 3D texture that can be smoothed out during AI processing.
maintain the sparkle, glitter texture, and epoxy depth throughout the tumbler surface, preserve the 3D texture feel of the coating
Mention the specific material: 'chunky glitter', 'smooth epoxy swirl', or 'alcohol ink effect' helps the AI preserve the right texture.
Colors of the tumbler look different after background change
Why: New backgrounds shift the perceived color temperature. Warm backgrounds can make cool designs look different.
create lifestyle mockup maintaining the exact original tumbler colors, preserve epoxy/vinyl color accuracy, true to the real product
Mention specific colors: 'keeping the ocean blue epoxy and rose gold glitter exactly as photographed.'
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove reflections from stainless steel tumblers?
Include 'remove all reflections and glare from the stainless steel surface' in your prompt. The AI identifies mirror-like reflections and removes them, revealing your epoxy, vinyl, or sublimation design underneath. For heavy reflections, a second pass focused on remaining spots works well.
Can the AI show my full wrap-around design?
The AI works with the photo you upload -- it can show what's visible from the angle you photographed. For the best result, photograph the main design side. Create a second mockup of the back design if your tumbler has a full wrap. Most buyers focus on the front design view anyway.
What background works best for tumbler listings?
Clean white is essential for your primary listing photo. For secondary images, lifestyle scenes that match your target buyer work best: desk scenes for commuter tumblers, outdoor scenes for adventure designs, kitchen scenes for wine tumblers. The background should tell a story about when your buyer will use the tumbler.
Will the AI preserve my glitter and epoxy textures?
Yes, when you mention the material. Add 'preserving glitter sparkle and epoxy texture' to your prompt. The AI understands these craft materials and keeps the depth, shimmer, and dimensional quality that makes handmade tumblers special.
Can I create mockups for different tumbler sizes?
Yes. The AI works with 20oz skinny tumblers, 30oz tumblers, wine tumblers, sippy cups, and water bottles. Mention the type in your prompt for best proportional results in lifestyle scenes: '20oz skinny tumbler' or '30oz tumbler' helps the AI scale correctly.
How do I photograph my tumbler for the best AI results?
Use diffused natural light (overcast window, not direct sun). Place the tumbler on a solid-colored surface and photograph the main design side straight on. Avoid flash -- it creates the worst reflections on steel. Even a mediocre photo with soft lighting gives better results than a well-framed shot with harsh flash glare.
