A square pillow mockup, made for presenting a quote print. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Useful for Etsy sellers as much as for home decor shops. One thing worth knowing: light prints on light fabric vanish; try the garment colour layer first before you change your artwork.
It’s also useful before a print run, to check how large the design should really be on the garment. Add a hoodie or sweatshirt shot next to it and you have a basic collection page.
Good for
- A quote print
- A photo print
- A pattern

What’s inside the Square Pillow Mockups PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Print design, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Folds and wrinkles that wrap your print
- Fabric colour
Editing the Square Pillow Mockups, step by step
- Decide where the design sits on the item and size your art for that spot.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Lower the print opacity a touch if it looks too sharp on the folds.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Another tip: place the design as a flat PNG with a transparent background, then let the fabric displacement do the folds.
Where the Square Pillow Mockups works best
- Show a photo print to a client before it goes to print or production.
- Make two or three colour versions of a pattern and let the client pick.
- Use it as the cover image for a quote print in your portfolio.
