PSDmate renders Photoshop mockup templates in bulk without Photoshop installed. It reads a PSD's Smart Object layer, applies your artwork through the same warp, displacement and shading Photoshop would, and repeats that across every artwork and template combination in a single job — up to fifty artwork images per run, returned as a ZIP. Because it uses your own templates rather than a fixed library, the output looks like your shop instead of like everyone else's.
The problem this solves
Doing this by hand is the definition of unpaid work: open template, double-click Smart Object, paste, resize, save, export, repeat. Ten designs across six templates is sixty rounds of the same six clicks, and the tools that automate it usually make you abandon your templates for their stock library.
What it does
Your own PSD templates
Upload the templates you bought or built. Smart Object layers are detected automatically, with fallbacks for templates that name their layers unconventionally.
Every combination in one run
Each artwork is rendered against each template in a single job rather than one at a time.
Fit modes
Control how artwork sits inside the placeholder — fill, fit or stretch — per template.
Frames and layouts
Compose multi-image layouts and framed presentations from the same renders.
Brand kits
Keep colours, logos and recurring assets consistent across every render.
Where it lives in PSDmate
Dashboard → Generate and Bulk. Output downloads as a ZIP or publishes straight to Etsy.
Questions
Do I need Photoshop?
No. Rendering happens server-side. You need the PSD files, not the software.
Will it work with templates I bought elsewhere?
Generally yes, provided the template uses a Smart Object for the artwork placeholder, which almost all commercial mockup PSDs do.
How many can I render at once?
Up to fifty artwork images per bulk run, rendered against every template you have selected.
