Easy Boxshot

The cover of a commercial product is the first step into convincing the buyer. This is also the case with software products, and video games, with important companies using unique, and fresh designs for media disc casings when distributing. If you want to create one such presentation yourself, Easy Boxshot can help out.

Worth mentioning first hand is the application requires no installation, and can be launched right after download is done. This also enables it to be carried around on a removable storage device, and even used, without any serious consequences. Registry entries are not modified in the process, so there’s no need to worry about stability issues.

The main window sports a fresh design, with custom-made textures for all of its elements. This doesn’t affect accommodation, with an intuitive overall layout to make inexperienced individuals quickly accommodate as well. No additional windows show up, and the process lasts as long as it takes you to decide on a box template.

With a decent set of box templates, the application skips you the effort of creating it yourself. However, this isn’t really an advantage, considering there’s no really an abundance of choices, nor a great variety in box types, or pictures used for backgrounds. Apart from box selection, you also need to specify side and front text, company name, size, and whether or not to add watermark.

It’s best to write names only when you’re sure about the cover, because changing the template resets all words. What’s more, the preview is manually triggered. The generated object is a simple picture, with no option to rotate, or export as 3D object.

In fact, the preview area, as small as it is perfectly resembles the output. Saving an image of the creation is done under formats like BMP, JPG, PNG, or GIF, but with no option for custom size, the maximum you get is 180x150.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Easy Boxshot comes a little underprepared, and might not really help out if you’re looking to create high-quality, 3D boxshots of your new product. Output image size is incredibly small, and with no image customization options, creativity is rather limited by available templates.
