If you sell on Etsy, there's a good chance you've bought Smart Object mockup templates from Creative Market, Envato, or another Etsy shop. They look great in the preview. Then you open the file, realize you need Photoshop to actually use it, and the template sits in a folder untouched.
AutoMockup fixes that. Upload the PSD you already own, drop in your poster art, and it finds the Smart Object, warps your artwork to match the frame's exact angle and lighting, and gives you a finished mockup — automatically, in the browser, no Photoshop license required.
Quick version: Go to postermockai.com/psd-mockup.html, add your PSD template, drop in a poster, and click Run. Free accounts get 10 mockups a month; Pro is unlimited.
Smart Object templates are genuinely good — a designer has already handled the lighting, the shadow falloff, the glass glare on the frame. The problem was never the template. It's the workflow: open Photoshop, double-click the Smart Object layer, paste your art, resize and reposition it by eye, flatten, export, close without saving over the original — and repeat that for every poster in your catalogue.
For a shop with 40 listings and 3 different frame templates, that's 120 rounds of manual placement. AutoMockup automates every step of that after the upload: detecting the Smart Object, computing its exact position and perspective, warping the poster to fit, and recompositing it under whatever shadow or highlight layers sit above it in the template — so the result looks like you did it by hand, because the same warp math a designer would do by eye is what's actually running.
Any Smart Object mockup template — Creative Market, Envato, Etsy, or one you made yourself. AutoMockup detects the Smart Object automatically, including ones with real perspective distortion (a poster photographed at an angle on a wall), not just a flat rectangle.
One file, a multi-select, or an entire folder at once. Add more than one PSD template too — the same posters get composited against every template you add, without re-uploading them each time.
Click Run and close the tab if you want. Processing continues on the server — come back later, check progress, and download everything as a ZIP when it's done.
The technical part sellers usually don't think about — but that makes the difference between a mockup that looks composited and one that looks real — is what happens to the layers above the Smart Object in the template. Good mockup packs put shadow, glare, and highlight effects on layers above the placeholder art specifically so they fall naturally on top of whatever gets placed inside. AutoMockup keeps those layers intact and re-applies them on top of your poster, instead of just replacing the placeholder and losing the effect — which is the actual reason a naive "swap the layer" approach looks fake and a properly built one doesn't.
| Step | Photoshop (manual) | AutoMockup |
|---|---|---|
| Find the Smart Object | You locate and double-click it | Detected automatically |
| Position & perspective | Eyeballed with Free Transform | Computed from the template's real geometry |
| Shadows & highlights | Already there if you don't disturb them | Preserved and re-applied automatically |
| Multiple posters | Repeat manually, one at a time | Batch — every poster × every template in one run |
| Requires Photoshop | Yes, a paid license | No — runs in the browser |
| Time for 40 posters | Hours | Minutes, unattended |
A single mockup is a nice trick. The actual time savings show up at catalogue scale: add every PSD template you own once, stage every poster in your shop, and generate 50+ mockups automatically in minutes instead of an afternoon in Photoshop. Since it runs in the background, you can create your poster mockups while you work on something else — pricing your listings, writing descriptions, whatever's next on the list — and come back to a finished batch.
Guest (no account) access isn't available for this feature specifically — a per-account limit is the only thing that actually works, since a per-browser guest allowance is trivially bypassed with an incognito window. Beyond that:
Upload one of your PSD templates and a poster — see the Smart Object detection and perspective warp for yourself.

It works with any template that uses a real Photoshop Smart Object — which is how the vast majority of Creative Market, Envato, and Etsy mockup packs are built. Templates using true mesh/puppet warp (wrapping onto a curved or folded surface, rather than a flat or angled plane) aren't supported yet.
AutoMockup shows you thumbnails of every Smart Object it finds and lets you pick the right one before running — it only guesses automatically when there's a single clear candidate.
No. That's the entire point — AutoMockup reads and processes the PSD file directly, so you never need to open Photoshop or own a license.
Yes. Both the PSD template and poster upload steps support selecting an entire folder instead of individual files.
Yes — the resulting mockup images are yours to use anywhere, the same as every other mockup PosterMock AI generates.
