How to Create a Live Preview for Etsy in Persify

To Create a Live Preview for Etsy in Persify, follow these steps:


Step 1: Create a New Live Preview


  1. Go to Live Preview → click Add New.



  1. Enter a title → Upload a mockup image or select one you've uploaded before → Click Create.



If you link to an Etsy listing, the live preview name will match the listing title. If not, the name will be the title you entered.


  • You can rename the Live Preview in Live Preview Editor by clicking the pencil icon next to the name → type a new name → press Enter or click the checkmark.



Step 2: Add Artwork to Your Mockup


  1. Click Add Artwork and choose the design you want to show in the preview.



  1. A window will open showing all available artworks → select one → click Add artwork (or double-click).



  1. Adjust the size, position, and rotation to fit your mockup.



You can:

  • Rename or reorder layers, lock size, show/hide layers



  • Resize or adjust layer position (Forward, Backward, Top, Middle, etc.)



Tip: Keep the original width-height ratio to avoid stretched or distorted previews. Drag from the corners for best results.


  • Use Clipping Mask when you want to hide the unwanted parts of your artwork on the mockup. Only the part inside the mask will be visible. Everything outside will be hidden.


Select the artwork layer → Turn on Clipping Mask → Adjust the mask’s shape, size, and position.



Step 3 (Optional): Add Image Layers


You can upload additional images to enhance your live preview by clicking on the Add Image button.



Recommended: Use images with a maximum height/width of 1200px for best performance.


You can:

  • Rename, replace image, reorder, lock size, show/hide layers



  • Resize or reposition, adjust opacity for blending, change layer position (Forward, Backward, Top, Middle, etc.)



Step 4: Select an Etsy Listing (Optional but Recommended)


Linking an Etsy listing allows Persify to:

  • Connect the live preview to the correct product
  • Redirect buyers to the exact Etsy listing when they click Back to Etsy


  1. Click Select Listing



  1. Search by name/ID/SKU or filter by store → select your listing → click OK (or double-click).



Step 5: Save Your Live Preview


  • Click Save to complete the setup.
