Prices shown are for the mug itself — shipping and handling is calculated and added at checkout.
🎨 Spins are cheap — 3 for $1 (even less when you buy in bulk). And here's the thing: you don't have to buy a mug or anything else to get value here. Every picture you create — you, with anyone, doing anything you dream up — is yours to keep, save, and share. The image itself is the product.

🖼️ Frame
Optional — pick a frame to add around your finished artwork now, before you generate, so you don't lose track of it later. Applied automatically once your design is ready. Leave blank for a clean, unframed look.
🪟 Don't see what you're looking for? Window Sill Portrait is also available — just below!
Drag right if the frame's ends are still getting cut off in the final mockup; drag left if there's a visible gap before the frame reaches the edge.
🪟 Window Sill Portrait
A specialty option, separate from Frame — this is one specific pose: you (or someone you choose) standing at a window, coffee mug in hand. Not for action shots, landscapes, or general artwork — just that one cozy scene, in the style below. Optional, and can't be combined with a Frame.
🪟 Preview & Fit Your Photo
This is your actual uploaded photo, not a generated design — use it to see roughly how you'll sit inside the window before spending a token. The size and position shown are already dialed in and ready to go — only touch the sliders if this specific photo needs a nudge.

🖌️ Edge Fade
Your design can fade softly into the colour of the product itself, so it looks printed on the item rather than stuck on like a sticker — or it can stop at a hard, sharp edge. On a Wraparound the joins between panels always stay sharp and continuous; only the true outer edges fade.

✍️ What are we making?
Needles will draw whatever you describe. First — is it going on something, or do you just want the picture?
🎁Put it on something
Mug, travel cup, phone case, poster… we'll draw it to fit that exact product.

Either way, Needles drawing it costs 1 token.
🎀 Trimmings
Your picture goes all the way around this cup, so its two ends come back and meet on the back. Tap a trimming and the cup wears it straight away — tap No Thanks to see the join bare. It's free to look either way.
Your picture goes right the way round this cup and its two ends overlap, so there is no join to cover and nothing here to trim. What there is to decide is where the handle lands — turn the picture below until it sits where you want it.
Turn the picture round the cup until the handle sits where you want it. Its two ends meet wherever this leaves them.

🌫️ Edge Fade
Fade softens the outer edges of your picture so it settles into your product instead of sitting on it like a sticker. It melts into the colour of whatever you're printing on, so the edges simply disappear. This is how every Muggshotz design looked before we had frames and props — and on anything but white, it still looks best.
Drag to set how far the softening reaches in. All the way left is no fade at all: hard, sharp edges.
