This outdoor advertising flag mockup is a quick way to show a product launch visual without a photo shoot.
Ad agencies and students pitching campaigns tend to get the most out of files like this. Quick tip: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.
It’s also handy for student and portfolio work, when you want to show a campaign that never went live.
This is a free file from Pixpine. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.

Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Brightness to match the scene
- Lighting and shadow layers
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
Editing the Outdoor Advertising Flag Mockup, step by step
- Check the smart object’s ratio first, then build the ad to match it.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Use the glow layer for night or backlit scenes.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
One more thing: night or backlit scenes usually have a glow layer. Push it up for lightboxes, down for printed paper.

It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Pixpine. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the billboard?
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.
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 change the surroundings?
Usually only lighting and shadows are adjustable. The street, sky or building are part of the photo.
