This picture poster frame mockup is a quick way to show a certificate without a photo shoot.
Good pick for photographers, artists or anyone putting together a portfolio. 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.
Use it for
- A certificate
- A photo
- A quote print
