20 Best Free T-Shirt Mockups (PSD Templates)
9 min read
A good free t-shirt mockup lets you show a print on a real-looking shirt before anything is printed. Clients approve designs faster and online shops get product photos without a photo shoot. We went through the big free mockup libraries and picked 20 free t-shirt mockups that are worth downloading right now.
The list covers flat lays, folded shirts, hanging tees, models, back prints, oversized fits and front and back layouts. Every download link was checked, and for each one we list the format, the size and the licence, so you know what you can use in client work.
How to choose a t-shirt mockup
- Match the shot to the job. Flat lays and folded shirts suit online shops and print approvals. Models sell a lifestyle and work best for social posts and lookbooks.
- Match the fit. An oversized or boxy design looks wrong on a slim fit tee, and a back print needs a back view.
- Check the resolution. Aim for at least 3000 px on the long side. That leaves room to crop without the fabric going soft.
- Look for smart objects. A good PSD lets you paste artwork into a smart object and change the shirt colour on its own layer.
- Read the licence. Some free mockups allow commercial use, some ask for a link back, and some are for personal use only. If you sell the final images on a print-on-demand store, you need commercial use.
20 free t-shirt mockups
We have grouped them by type: flat lay and folded mockups (1 to 9), mockups worn by models (10 to 16), and hanging, floating and front and back mockups (17 to 20).

Which t-shirt mockup should you use?
- For an online shop: the flat lay and folded mockups (1 to 7) give clean, consistent product photos.
- For print approval: use a front and back layout such as 2, 3 or 19 so the client signs off both sides at once.
- For packaging and labels: the hang tag (7) and gift box (8) mockups show the whole product, not just the print.
- For social posts and lookbooks: the model shots (10 to 16) put the design in a real setting.
- For streetwear: the back view (13), oversized (15) and boxy fit (20) mockups match the cuts these brands sell.
Tips for better t-shirt mockups
- Design at print size. Work at 300 DPI at the real print width, usually around 30 cm for a chest print, then scale it down inside the smart object. Our guide to high-quality prints explains why this matters.
- Place the print where a printer would. A chest print usually starts about 7 to 10 cm below the collar. Prints placed too low are the most common mockup mistake.
- Use the right blend mode. Most PSDs use Multiply or a displacement map for the print layer. On dark shirts, switch to Screen or Normal so light inks do not disappear.
- Use real shirt colours. Pick colours from your supplier’s range, not pure RGB values, so the mockup matches what arrives from the printer.
Working on a full apparel range? Pair these with our free hoodie mockups and stationery mockups for the rest of the brand.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I get a free t-shirt mockup?
Good Mockups, Unblast, Mockup World, GraphicBurger, ls.graphics and Pixelbuddha all offer free t-shirt mockups. Every mockup in this list links straight to its download page.
Can I use a free t-shirt mockup for commercial work?
It depends on the licence. The GraphicBurger, Good Mockups (except the back view) and Dealjumbo files above allow commercial use. The Pixelbuddha and Mockupnest files are free for personal use only, and Dribbble Graphics asks for a link back. Always check the licence before you use a mockup in paid work or on a print-on-demand store.
How do I put my design on a t-shirt mockup in Photoshop?
Open the PSD, double-click the smart object layer named something like “Your design”, paste your artwork, then save and close it. The main file updates with the folds and lighting. Change the shirt colour with the colour layer or adjustment layer.
Can I make a t-shirt mockup without Photoshop?
Yes. Photopea is a free browser editor that opens PSD files with smart objects. Some libraries, such as ls.graphics, also let you edit mockups online or inside Figma.
