If you’re presenting an art print, this thin poster frame mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced.
Good pick for artists, photographers or anyone putting together a portfolio. A small tip: match the frame ratio to your print (A-series, 4:5, 2:3). Printing sellers get returns when the preview ratio is wrong.
Print sellers on Etsy and similar shops use images like this as the main listing photo, because buyers want to see the piece on a wall.
Works well for
- An art print
- A photo
- A quote print

How to use the Thin Poster Frame Mockup
- Pick the print you want to show: photo, illustration or typography.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Try other artwork in the same room scene.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
One more thing: keep the glass reflection layer on. It is small, but it’s what makes the frame look real.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
Mockups Design sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
How do I put my artwork on the frame?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
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.
Can I change the frame colour?
Many frame mockups include black, white and wood options or a colour layer for the frame itself. The preview usually shows the options.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Mockups Design gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
