About this tool

Printable posters are one of Etsy's most crowded categories, and the mockup is usually the entire listing: for digital downloads the buyer never receives a physical object, so the photo of a framed print over a sofa is what they're actually buying. That makes template fatigue expensive, when your listing uses the same free PSD frame-on-white-wall as ten thousand others, nothing about it says this shop is worth opening. A generated mockup gives every listing its own room, its own light, and its own styling, composed like the interior photography that editorial shelter sites run.

Five frame treatments cover how people actually display posters, including the magnetic hanger bar that dominates boho and botanical listings, and five rooms place the print where your buyer imagines it: living room, bedroom, office, kids room, kitchen nook. The glass renders with a subtle reflection, the mat is clean, and the print scales realistically against the furniture, the details that make a mockup read as a photo rather than a render.

For digital-download sellers the workflow is generate, assemble, list: mock the same artwork in three rooms and two frames, upscale the strongest shot for Etsy's zoom, and fill the listing gallery, no physical sample needed, because there is no physical product. Print-on-demand poster sellers use the same shots and ship the artwork file to their print partner unchanged.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a poster mockup with my own art?
Upload the artwork as the reference image, pick a frame style and a room, and generate. The image-input model reproduces the art as a framed print hung in a styled interior with realistic glass, scale, and light. The output is a finished listing photo, no PSD smart objects or Photoshop.
I sell digital downloads, does this work without a physical product?
Yes, it's built for exactly that. Digital-download poster listings are sold entirely on mockup photos since the buyer prints the file themselves. Generate the framed shots here, note the frame is for display only in your listing copy, and include a plain flat preview of the artwork so buyers see precisely what file they receive.
Will the mockup reproduce my artwork faithfully?
Closely: composition, palette, and style carry over well, and graphic or illustrated posters reproduce especially cleanly. Fine detail and small text can shift slightly because the art is redrawn rather than composited, so zoom in before publishing. For pixel-critical previews, pair the room mockup with a flat image of the actual file.
Is this poster mockup generator free?
Yes, to start: new accounts get 15 free credits, refilling daily when you run low. Text-described mockups cost 1 credit; uploading your artwork uses the image-input model at 2 credits per shot, also on free accounts. Commercial usage rights for listings come with paid plans.
What frame styles are available?
Thin black metal, white gallery, and natural oak, all with a white mat, plus an unframed flat print and a wood magnetic hanger bar. Frame choice signals the aesthetic: black for minimal and typographic posters, oak and hanger bar for botanical and boho work, white gallery for photography and soft palettes. Generate two frames of the same art and let the listing show both.
Can I show the same poster in several rooms?
Yes, keep the artwork attached and switch the room preset: living room, bedroom, home office, kids room, or kitchen nook. Three rooms and a frame variant fill a listing gallery for a handful of credits, and matching room styles across your shop's listings gives the whole storefront a coherent look.
What sizes do the mockups come in, and is that enough for Etsy?
Shots generate at up to 1024 pixels on the long edge, above Etsy's 1000-pixel minimum; run the final image through the built-in upscaler to hit Etsy's recommended 2000 pixels for crisp zoom. Use 4:5 or 3:4 for listing slots, which match how portrait posters frame naturally.
Does the glass show reflections?
A subtle, realistic one, enough to read as real glass without obscuring the art. The unframed and hanger-bar options skip glass entirely, which suits matte fine-art prints and keeps the artwork completely unobstructed if reflections aren't your look.
