A rectangle pillow mockup, made for presenting a photo print. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Useful for textile designers as much as for home decor shops. Quick tip: keep chest prints around a third of the shirt width. Oversized art looks unrealistic on a folded or worn garment.
Print-on-demand shops use images like this for listings, so the realism of the folds matters more than people think.

What’s inside the Rectangle Pillow Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Print design, placed through the smart object
- Shadows and highlights
- Folds and wrinkles that wrap your print
Editing the Rectangle Pillow Mockup, step by step
- Prepare the graphic flat, without shadows or fake texture. The mockup adds those.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Lower the print opacity a touch if it looks too sharp on the folds.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: place the design as a flat PNG with a transparent background, then let the fabric displacement do the folds.
