Presenting a photo? Put it on this painting poster frame mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
Good pick for Etsy print sellers, artists or anyone putting together a portfolio. 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.

What’s inside the Painting Poster Frame Mockup PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows on the wall
- Glass reflection layer
How to use the Painting Poster Frame Mockup
- Pick the print you want to show: photo, illustration or typography.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Switch the frame colour if the file has options.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: pick a print size that matches the frame’s ratio; stretched or cropped art gives the game away.

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.
