Need to show a painting to a client? This canvas poster mockup does the job in a few minutes.

Good pick for photographers, print shops or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: pick a print size that matches the frame’s ratio; stretched or cropped art gives the game away.

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. Show two or three prints from the same series in matching frames for a gallery-wall look.

Works well for

  • A painting
  • Digital art
  • A photo print

What you can edit in this Canvas Poster Mockup

Everything below is on its own layer:

  • Artwork, placed through the smart object
  • Shadows on the wall
  • Frame colour, where the file offers options
  • Glass reflection layer

Add your design to the Canvas Poster Mockup

  1. Export the artwork at 3000 px or more on the long side.
  2. In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
  3. Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
  4. Switch the frame colour if the file has options.
  5. Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.

Another tip: keep the glass reflection layer on. It is small, but it’s what makes the frame look real.

Ways to use this Canvas Poster Mockup

  • Show a painting on your online shop or product page.
  • Show a photo print to a client before it goes to print or production.
  • Present digital art in a client proposal or brand guide.

Questions about this mockup

Is it free for commercial use?

Dribbble Graphics 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 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.

Do I need Photoshop?

Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.

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.
