The mockups themselves are great. The templates look very high quality.

It would be great if the frame adapted to the aspect ratio of the uploaded image. At the moment the image is cropped to fill the frame. Even reordering the templates to prioritise those which match (or are closest to) the aspect ratio of the image would be a start, or the ability to filter portrait/landscape/square

On closer inspection - are the templates AI-generated? There are some odd AI-ish inconsistencies in some of them (a toy elephant with no ears, stools with missing parts, light fitting hanging midair...)

I realize I did not mention it, but yes: the templates are AI-generated! There are filters for orientations, but I admit the aspect ratio can be a bit random.

Ah I've just found the filters, that's helpful. It's definitely not where I'd expect them to be; top right is where I'd expect sign in etc to live. They might be more discoverable with a text label right above the grid of templates, so they're in close proximity to the thing they're filtering.

I gather you are on mobile, this is helpful feedback, thank you!
