Best Poster Mockups for Designers in 2025
Mockups are no longer just “nice to have” – they’ve become essential for designers. Clients and agencies expect to see their ideas in real environments, not flat on a white page. A poster on a wall in Amsterdam, a glowing citylight in Berlin – these details make a presentation feel alive.
Free vs. Premium – what do you really need?
There are plenty of free mockups around, but let’s be honest: not all of them look convincing. If you’re building a portfolio or testing ideas, a free poster mockup is a great start. That’s why I created two freebies at June Mockups – quick, simple, and perfect to get a feel for the style.

But for client projects, you’ll probably want more than a single free file. That’s where premium mockups come in:
-
Billboards for large-scale campaigns
-
Citylights for urban settings
-
Bundles to cover multiple formats in one pack
All of them come as layered PSDs with smart objects, so you can drop in your design in seconds.
Why June Mockups?
I started June Mockups to offer something different: authentic photography from real cities. Right now the focus is on Amsterdam, but I keep adding new locations across Europe – so the library grows with time.
That means you’ll always find fresh backdrops for your work: construction walls, street posters, glowing city ads, or classic billboards in the middle of the city.
The trend in 2025
Design presentations are moving away from polished 3D renders. What clients want is authenticity. A poster in a real city feels relatable and it helps them imagine how the campaign will actually look once it’s live.
👉 If you’re looking for the best poster mockups for 2025, start with the freebies and then explore the premium sets. The right mockup won’t just display your design – it will sell the idea behind it.
