A beautiful mug mockup, made for presenting a company logo. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Good pick for gift shops, print-on-demand sellers or anyone putting together a portfolio. One thing worth knowing: mug prints wrap around; if the preview shows one side, keep the design centred on that side.
It’s the quickest way to check whether a logo still works when it’s small and curved.

Beautiful Mug Mockup: editable parts
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Logo or pattern, placed through the smart object
- Highlights on the curve
- Background colour
- Cup, lid or sleeve colour
How to edit this Beautiful Mug Mockup in Photoshop
- Centre your design on the side that faces the viewer.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: a logo that works on a business card usually works on a cup. Long slogans rarely do.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Free PSD Templates. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the mug?
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 cup colour?
Most cup and mug mockups keep the body colour on its own layer, so you can change it without touching your design.
