Creating and downloading room mockups of your art

ArtHelper renders your artwork into realistic room settings so you can show collectors how a piece would look on a wall. Here's how to view, save, and download room mockups.

Room mockups put your artwork on real-looking walls — a living room, a hallway, a bedroom — so you (and your collectors) can see how a piece would look at scale, in context. ArtHelper generates a set of these automatically for every painting you upload, in lots of different room styles. You can save your favourites, download them one at a time, or download all of them in a zip. This article walks through where to find them and how to use them.## Where to find your room mockupsEvery piece of art you upload gets its own mockups page. There's also a Room Mockups page on your public profile that shows the ones you've chosen to feature.1. Open one of your paintings — go to [arthelper.com/my-artwork](https://www.arthelper.com/my-artwork) and click the piece.2. Click **Room Mockups**. The page at *arthelper.com/tools/mocks/[artwork-id]* opens with a grid of room scenes featuring your painting.3. To browse the full set of mockups across all your work that you've chosen to feature, visit *arthelper.com/your-name/room-mockups*.## Saving a mockup you likeSaving a mockup keeps it on the artwork and lets you find it later under your saved content.1. Hover (or tap) any mockup in the grid.2. Click the **Save** button. A bookmark icon fills in to show it's saved.3. To unsave, click the saved button again.Saved mockups show up at [arthelper.com/saved](https://www.arthelper.com/saved) alongside the rest of your saved content.## Downloading mockupsYou can download mockups one by one or grab the whole set in a zip file.1. From the Room Mockups page for a piece, click any individual mockup thumbnail to open it larger in a lightbox overlay (you can close the lightbox with the **X** button or by pressing **ESC** to return to the page).2. Right-click the enlarged image and choose **Save image as…** to download just that one.3. To download every mockup for that piece in one go, click **Download All** at the top of the page. ArtHelper bundles them into a zip and starts the download. This can take a minute or two for a large set.**Tip:** Room mockups are also useful for social posts. Pick one you love, download it, and use it as the lead image when you share a new piece — it gives the work a sense of scale that a flat photo can't.## Filtering and re-rolling the room stylesThe mockups page shows a wide mix of room styles — modern, traditional, minimalist, gallery-white, and so on. You can narrow what you see.1. Use the filter chips above the grid to limit the rooms to a single style or vibe.2. If a particular room doesn't look right, save the ones you like and ignore the rest — new rooms get added to the catalog over time, so check back.## Asking the Assistant to generate mockupsYou don't have to use the dedicated page. You can also ask your Assistant to pull up room mockups for a piece in the middle of a chat.1. Open the Assistant and attach (or reference) a piece of your artwork.2. Ask for room mockups — for example, *"Show me room mockups for this piece"*.3. The Assistant pulls up the mockups inline. From there you can save, download, or jump to the full mockups page.## Common questions### How are the mockups generated?ArtHelper takes the photo of your painting you uploaded, fits it into a library of room scenes at the correct scale, and renders the result. The painting itself isn't altered — it's the same image you uploaded, placed into a virtual room.### Why does my painting look slightly off in one of the rooms?Sometimes the scale or lighting of a room doesn't suit a particular piece. That's normal — there are many room styles, and not all of them flatter every painting. Save the ones that look right and skip the rest.### Can I show mockups on my public profile?Yes. The mockups you save are eligible to appear on your public Room Mockups page at *arthelper.com/your-name/room-mockups*. You can also hide all mockups from your public profile from [Settings](https://www.arthelper.com/settings) if you'd rather keep them private.### Do mockups count toward storage limits?No — they're rendered on demand from your original upload. You aren't paying for extra storage by having lots of mockups.### Can collectors see the room I really hung my painting in?No. Room mockups are virtual — they're not photos of your real home or studio. They're staging scenes generated by ArtHelper to show your work in context.
