If you’re presenting a photo print, this heart pillow mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced.
Textile designers and home decor shops tend to get the most out of files like this. One thing worth knowing: light prints on light fabric vanish; try the garment colour layer first before you change your artwork.
It’s also useful before a print run, to check how large the design should really be on the garment. Add a hoodie or sweatshirt shot next to it and you have a basic collection page.

Heart Pillow Mockup: editable parts
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Print design, placed through the smart object
- Fabric colour
- Background colour
How to use the Heart Pillow Mockup
- Save your print as a PNG with a transparent background.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: if the print looks too sharp, a very slight blur (0.3 px) makes it sit into the fabric.
Where the Heart Pillow Mockup works best
- Make two or three colour versions of a photo print and let the client pick.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Does the print follow the fabric folds?
Better apparel mockups use a displacement map or warp so the print follows the wrinkles. Check the preview: if the folds show through the logo, it does.
