  2. 27AI Mockup Generator

    If you’ve spent any time in e-commerce operations, you know that AI is a game-changer for efficiency. But you also know that standard AI chat interfaces are fundamentally flawed for real-world product images. Pasting complex prompts into a chat box might work for a one-off experiment, but if you’re a merchant managing 100 SKUs or a side hustler testing dozens of ad creatives, it’s a workflow nightmare. Chat history is a mess, consistency is impossible to maintain, and "hallucinations", where the AI distorts your product or garbles your text, are a constant battle. AI Mockup Generator was built by e-commerce veterans to solve exactly this problem. It isn’t just another wrapper, it is a specialized workspace designed to replace the chaos of chat with a streamlined, professional workflow. The core philosophy of AI Mockup Generator is simple: you shouldn't need to be a prompt engineer to get professional results. Our system abstracts away the complexity. You don't need to beg the AI to "fix the lighting" or "adjust the shadow." The platform automatically handles the complex physics of lighting, product angles, and composition, delivering studio-quality results. We utilize cutting-edge models, and are constantly testing the latest technologies to ensure the best possible results. This means fewer wasted credits on distorted images and more usable, high-converting assets for your store. AI Mockup Generator features a robust asset management gallery. Upload your product references once, add multiple background or model references, and batch-generate your creatives. Save your winning scenes and reuse them later - swap in a new product to an existing scene without starting from scratch. Whether you are creating listing photos for Etsy or high-volume ad creatives for a dropshipping brand, AI Mockup Generator turns a bottleneck into a competitive advantage. Stop chatting with your tools and start producing at scale. Experience the workflow difference at aimockupgenerator.co

  4. 29Soraia Lima

    MiroMiro is a Chrome extension that lets you extract design assets and code from any website in seconds. No more digging through DevTools or recreating layouts from scratch. I built MiroMiro because I was tired of the same workflow every developer and designer knows. You find a website you love, you want to use something from it, and then you spend the next hour inspecting elements and copying CSS line by line. MiroMiro makes that instant. Hover over any element and see its styles, dimensions, and spacing right away. Download images from any page, backgrounds, icons, photos, in one click. Copy any SVG to your clipboard or download it. If a site uses Lottie animations, MiroMiro detects them, lets you preview, and download the JSON files. The feature people love most is section-to-code extraction. Select any section on a page and get clean HTML and CSS ready to use in your project. Pair it with any AI coding tool and you can rebuild a landing page in minutes instead of days. For Tailwind users, MiroMiro extracts colors, fonts, spacing, and border radii and exports a ready-to-paste tailwind.config.js. Everything you extract gets saved to your personal library. Build your collection of references across projects and access them anytime. 5,000+ designers and developers already use it daily. It launched as number two Product of the Day on Product Hunt. If you work with the web, MiroMiro saves you hours every week.

  5. 30Refbox

    Refbox is a floating reference app for creatives who want their inspiration visible while they work. Pin images, GIFs, videos & notes in always-on-top frames above your apps. No more window switching while you sketch, design, animate, or model. Add media from the web, your computer, or your clipboard into a floating, resizable sidebar. View references in Masonry Mode (Pinterest-style), drag individual items onto your desktop that you can resize and rearrange, or use a full-screen Gallery for second monitors. Add markdown-enabled notes for ideas, todos, or instructions without reaching for a separate app. Save clickable links as bookmarks to tutorials, articles, and other resources you need. Scrub through videos and GIFs with frame-by-frame playback. Create multiple collections of references and instantly swap between them. Refbox is the essential companion for creatives who need inspiration at their fingertips while they work.
