This gallery poster mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a certificate or an art print convincingly.
Artists and Etsy print sellers tend to get the most out of files like this. A small tip: keep the glass reflection layer on. It is small, but it’s what makes the frame look real.
It helps you judge scale too: artwork that looks right on screen can feel tiny once it’s framed in a room.
This is a free file from Mockups Design. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.
Editable options in the Gallery Poster Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Artwork, placed through the smart object
- Glass reflection layer
- Shadows on the wall
Add your design to the Gallery Poster Mockup
- Export the artwork at 3000 px or more on the long side.
- 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.
- Keep the glass reflection on for a real look.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Pick a print size that matches the frame’s ratio; stretched or cropped art gives the game away.
