Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Pixelbuddha. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I change the text?
Text effects usually sit in a smart object. Double-click it, type your word, save, and the effect updates in the main file.
Do I need the same font?
The effect works with any font, but the look in the preview depends on the font the author used. If it's missing, Photoshop will ask you to replace it.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Pixelbuddha gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
