Step-by-step tutorial

Follow these simple steps to add your own design to a PSD mockup.

Open Your Mockup File

01

Locate the PSD file you downloaded and open it in Adobe Photoshop. The file will be neatly organized with clearly named layers, including one or more Smart Object layers for your design.


Located on the right side of the screen, the Layers Panel is where you’ll find the various layers that make up your PSD mockup. Each layer represents a different element of the design, allowing for easy editing and customization.

If you don’t see the Layers Panel in your workspace, you can access it by going to the top menu and selecting Window > Layers. This will open the Layers Panel and make it accessible for your editing convenience.

The purpose of the white layer is to make the file size smaller.

You can delete that layer or simply hide it by clicking on the little eye icon in front of the layer.
