This floating A4 brochure mockup is a quick way to show a company profile without a photo shoot.
Good pick for print designers, marketing teams or anyone putting together a portfolio. Quick tip: match your panel widths to the fold lines in the smart object; tri-folds have one slightly narrower panel.
Print jobs are expensive to redo, so a realistic preview before the order goes out is cheap insurance.

Add your design to the Floating A4 Brochure Mockup
- Export your artwork as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, around 300 ppi at print size.

- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Another tip: if the paper has texture, drop the opacity of your art by a few percent so the grain shows through.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Mockups Design. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
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.
Can I show both sides?
It depends on the file. Many print mockups include a front and a back smart object; the preview usually shows whether both sides are visible.
