🧡 About MockupShelf

MockupShelf is a free resource for designers where you can download premium-quality mockups to showcase your work in a realistic, professional way. Every mockup is hand-picked or crafted to help designers present their ideas beautifully for clients, portfolios, or personal use.

Yes, every mockup available on MockupShelf is 100% free to download and use both for personal and commercial projects. There are no hidden charges, no subscriptions, and no premium paywalls.

As a designer, I found it difficult to access quality mockups without paying for expensive licenses. I created MockupShelf so that every designer, student, freelancer, or professional can find high-quality mockups for free.

MockupShelf is supported through advertisements placed on the site. These ads help cover hosting and content costs so that the mockups can stay free for everyone.

💻 Technical & Download Help

Most mockups are provided as PSD (Photoshop) files. You’ll need Adobe Photoshop or another program that supports PSD smart objects (such as Photopea or Affinity Photo).

  • Open the mockup PSD file in Photoshop.

  • Find the Smart Object layer (usually named “Your Design Here” or “Replace Artwork”).

  • Double-click the Smart Object thumbnail.

  • Paste or drag your design into the new window, save, and close it.
    Your design will automatically appear in the mockup scene.

Please ensure:

  • You’re using the latest version of Photoshop.

  • The file downloaded completely (try re-downloading if the zip is incomplete).
    If the issue continues, contact us at hello.mockupshelf@gmail.com with the mockup name or link.

MockupShelf uses secure hosting for all files. If the download is slow:

 

  • Wait a few minutes and retry (traffic can cause brief delays).

  • Disable ad-blockers or browser extensions that interfere with downloads.

  • Try a different browser or network connection.

If it still doesn’t work, email us for help.
