Artwork Frame Mockup PSD
What's inside

Presenting a certificate? Put it on this artwork 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. Quick 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.
Graphberry created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
Editable options in the Artwork Frame Mockup PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows on the wall
- Glass reflection layer
- Frame colour, where the file offers options
How to use the Artwork 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.
Worth remembering: pick a print size that matches the frame’s ratio; stretched or cropped art gives the game away.
Where the Artwork Frame Mockup works best
- Show a photo on your online shop or product page.
- Use it as the cover image for a quote print in your portfolio.
- Make two or three colour versions of a certificate and let the client pick.
Before you download
- Made by Graphberry. The download size and format are listed on their page.
- Built for Adobe Photoshop. A recent CC version handles the smart objects best.
- Some free mockups ask for credit when you post them. A short line in your caption is enough.
- The preview shows the angle, background and lighting you’ll get.
Need a different angle? The frame mockups category has plenty more free PSD files.
Questions about this mockup
Can I use this frame mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Graphberry. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
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.
What print ratio does the frame take?
Open the smart object and check its canvas size. Frames are usually made for standard ratios like A-series, 4:5 or 2:3.
