Poster mockup examples
Posters at true scale, not stretched to fit
These examples keep each poster's real proportions, from a 2:3 living-room piece to an A2 gallery print, instead of forcing every design into the same rectangle.
A framed 2:3 poster
24 × 36 in / 61 × 91 cm poster · thin black frame
The thin black edge preserves the strong poster proportion without adding a mat.

An unframed paper poster
18 × 24 in / 46 × 61 cm poster · unframed
A clean paper edge and restrained contact shadow show an unframed option without implying rails, clips, glass, or a frame.
Try this exact room
An A-series poster at its real ratio
A2 / 16.5 × 23.4 in poster · thin white frame
The 1:√2 page proportion remains intact, so the room view does not stretch an A2 design into a generic rectangle.

Poster mockups in every standard size
Pick the size you sell. The editor opens with your poster already set to that size, so an 18x24 reads as an 18x24 next to a sofa, not an oversized print stretched to fill a template box.

Framed poster mockup
A frame changes how big the poster looks, so a framed poster mockup has to add the frame and mat around the print instead of shrinking the art to fit a template opening. Enter the print size, then pick a black, white, oak, or brass frame and an optional mat. The room shows the finished outer size, which is the number buyers need for their wall.
| Poster | Thin frame, no mat | With a 3 in mat |
|---|---|---|
| 11 × 17 in | 12.5 × 18.5 in | 18.5 × 24.5 in |
| 18 × 24 in | 19.5 × 25.5 in | 25.5 × 31.5 in |
| 24 × 36 in | 25.5 × 37.5 in | 31.5 × 43.5 in |
| A2 (16.5 × 23.4 in) | 18 × 24.9 in | 24 × 30.9 in |
Outer sizes assume a 0.75 in frame. Match the mockup to what you ship: if the listing sells the print only, label the frame as a styling idea. The frame mockup generator shows every frame style.
Make a framed poster mockup18x24 poster mockup
18 × 24 in (45.7 × 61 cm) is the most common poster size, a 3:4 portrait that suits a desk, a console, a bedroom wall, or a narrow space beside a window. It is too small to fill a long sofa wall on its own, so show it where buyers will hang it, or pair two side by side. A thin frame makes it about 19.5 × 25.5 in; a 24 × 30 in frame with a mat makes it a much larger piece.
Keep the 3:4 shape. A 2:3 design (for example 24 × 36) does not fit 18 × 24 without cropping, so crop it first or show it at its own size. The 18 × 24 button opens the editor with the size already set.
Make an 18x24 poster mockupFramed, hung, or taped: pick how the poster hangs
The same print reads differently depending on what holds it to the wall. Try a style below to open the editor with that display already applied. For a framed poster mockup, switch to any frame in the editor, or start from the frame mockup generator.
Wood hanger
A wood dowel rail rests across the top of the poster and a magnetic or clipped bottom bar keeps it flat, no glass and no frame shop. It reads as intentional and a little more finished than tape, without the cost of framing.
Try wood hangerWashi tape
Four small pieces of tape hold the corners, the way a lot of people actually hang a poster in a bedroom, dorm, or studio. It is the most casual of the three and the one buyers picture fastest for a print they plan to swap out later.
Try washi tapeUnframed
The plain print, nothing added. This is the fastest way to check whether a poster earns its size and color on a wall before you decide it needs any hardware at all, and it matches a listing that ships the print alone.
Try unframedMovie poster mockup (27 × 40 in)
A movie poster one-sheet is 27 × 40 inches, larger than most buyers expect. Showing it at true size next to a sofa, a TV wall, or a bed tells a buyer exactly how much wall it needs. Use it for alternative movie posters, fan art, festival posters, and custom film prints, and add a thin black frame if you sell it framed.

Who this is for
Etsy and print-on-demand poster sellers who need listing images that show scale accurately and stay consistent across a catalog, including matching framed, hanger, tape, and unframed shots of the same design.
Digital poster sellers, where the mockup is the product photo. A poster on a real wall makes a download feel tangible and worth the price.
Illustrators, photographers, and event or band poster designers checking how a design holds up at full size before a print run.
Why not a free poster mockup PSD
A free PSD poster mockup shows one room, at whatever size the file happens to be built for, and breaks the moment your poster’s proportions do not match the smart object. WallMockup keeps your poster at its real, entered size across any room and any display style, so a listing set stays accurate without a template library to maintain.
Poster mockup questions
What is a poster mockup?+
A poster mockup is an image of your poster design shown at real size in a room, so a buyer or client can judge scale, color, and presence the way they would in person, instead of reading a flat file with a ruler.
Is the poster mockup generator free?+
The trial is free for 7 days with full editor access and up to 10 exports in any rolling 24-hour window, no card required. After the trial, a $5.99 one-time Creator pack or $4.99/month Pro plan continue export access.
What poster sizes can I mock up?+
Every standard size: 11x17, 18x24, 24x36, and the 27x40 movie poster, plus A3, A2, A1, and 50x70 cm. Enter the exact size you sell so the poster appears at true scale. The poster size chart has the complete reference.
How do I make a movie poster mockup?+
Pick the 27 × 40 in size above, upload your poster, and choose a living room, media wall, or bedroom scene. The poster is placed at real one-sheet size, so it reads correctly next to a sofa or TV. Add a thin black frame if you sell it framed.
How do I make a framed poster mockup?+
Upload your poster, enter its print size, then pick a black, white, oak, or brass frame and an optional mat in the editor. The frame and mat are added around the print, so the room shows the real outer size, for example about 19.5 × 25.5 in for an 18 × 24 poster in a thin frame.
What frame size fits an 18x24 poster?+
An 18 × 24 in frame holds the poster with no mat. For a mat, use a 24 × 30 in frame with a mat cut for 18 × 24, which leaves 3 in of mat on every side of the print.
Do I need Photoshop or a PSD template?+
No. WallMockup runs in your browser. Upload your poster once, pick a display style and size, choose a room, and export. There is no template library to keep in sync with your catalog.
Can I use the export for an Etsy or print-on-demand listing?+
Yes. Exports are sized for marketplace listing photos and print-on-demand product images, and the artwork itself is never altered, only composited into the room.
Can I show horizontal or square posters?+
Yes. Enter a landscape size such as 24x18 or 36x24, or a square size such as 24x24, and the poster keeps those proportions on the wall. The landscape poster mockup guide has wide rooms for horizontal prints.
