A hotel key fob looks better on a shiny key chain mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Good pick for illustrators, hotels or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: use a PNG with transparency for logos so the material around them keeps its texture.
Merch and gift ideas are much easier to approve when people can see them on the real object.

What’s inside the Shiny Key Chain Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Logo or artwork, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Object colour, where included
- Shadows
Editing the Shiny Key Chain Mockup, step by step
- Prepare the artwork in your brand colours.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Adjust the shadow so the object sits on the surface.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Keep your artwork simple. Small objects shrink details quickly, so a bold mark reads better than fine lines.
Where the Shiny Key Chain Mockup works best
- Show a logo tag on your online shop or product page.
- Share an acrylic charm on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.
- Use it as the cover image for a hotel key fob in your portfolio.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Mockups Design. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the keychain?
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.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Can I change the background?
Most object mockups have a background colour or image layer at the bottom of the stack that you can swap.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Mockups Design gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
