Is this CD mockup generator really free?

Yes. Anyone can download a 1080px JPG with a small Groover mark, no account needed. A free Groover account unlocks the HD PNG without the mark, every scene and background, a transparent background and your own disc print. No paid plan needed.

Do I need Photoshop or a PSD template?

No. Most CD mockups are PSD templates you edit with smart objects in Photoshop. Here the jewel case is a real 3D render: drop your cover and the booklet, disc, shadows and reflections update live. No Photoshop, Canva or design skills needed.

Can I download a CD case mockup as a transparent PNG?

Yes, with a free Groover account. Pick the transparent background and the HD PNG keeps real transparency around the case and disc, ready for a store page, a flyer or a social post. Without an account, downloads are 1080px JPGs on a solid background.

What does the CD mockup include?

A jewel case with its clear lid, tray and front booklet, and the disc with its printed face and shiny data side. Scenes show the case from the front, standing or from above, the case with its disc, and the disc on its own. A free account adds your own disc print.

What size should CD cover artwork be?

The front booklet of a CD jewel case is 120 x 120 mm (4.7 in). For your mockup, and for Spotify and most distributors, use square artwork at 3000 x 3000 px. For the printed booklet, use your manufacturer's template, which includes the bleed.

Can I use these mockups commercially?

Yes. Use the images to promote and sell your release: your shop, Bandcamp, pre-order page, press kit, ads or socials. Once the release is out, you can pitch it to curators, radios and media on Groover. Guaranteed feedback in 7 days or your credits back.
