Learn how to fix PSD mockups where Smart Objects stretch your design across the entire canvas by correcting the internal Smart Object boundaries.
Hey, thanks for sending the file and I could see the problem.
So it goes beyond that.
So let me check the template and give you a rectification.
So this is the template, repress control t.
This looks nice.
This is good.
But I press double click on the smart object clear.
There you see.
Okay.
I mean the template has not been set properly.
And when we place a design over here, it basically covers the entire canvas.
So imagine this color is our design of red color.
So this has not been set properly.
I mean this smart object over here has not been set properly.
So simple fix.
Press control t on now here.
Test out.
Sorry.
Yeah, all good.
That’s it.
Sorry.
I mean this auto select selected.
My spacebar is not working.
I’m not sure why.
So yeah, this is the fix.
Next time when it comes, it will place.
So I’ll delete this.
I’ll put it with any color.
Black color maybe.
I’ll send it as file and it should ID the work.
And yeah, that’s it.
I mean, there is some extension that is required.
So I’ll stretch this.
Yeah, that’s all.
This issue occurs because the Smart Object inside your PSD template has not been set up with the correct boundaries. When Bulk Mockup places your design, it uses the Smart Object’s internal canvas size.
If that internal canvas extends across the full PSD area, the placed design will also stretch across the entire workspace, resulting in an oversized, full-canvas design instead of fitting neatly into the intended mockup frame.
To correct this, you must adjust the Smart Object’s transform settings so that the internal container matches the visible mockup area.
Here is how to fix it properly:
Once the Smart Object’s internal boundaries are corrected, Bulk Mockup will place all future designs accurately without stretching or covering the entire canvas.
Your design stretches across the whole canvas because the Smart Object’s internal size is incorrect. Resize it once, and Bulk Mockup will place designs perfectly every time.
This happens because the Smart Object’s internal canvas is incorrectly sized. Bulk Mockup places your artwork inside that full-sized Smart Object, causing the design to stretch across the whole PSD instead of the intended mockup area.
Resizing the Smart Object adjusts the placement boundaries, ensuring the internal document matches the visible product frame. Once corrected, Bulk Mockup places new designs only within that transformed region instead of filling the entire document.
No. You usually only need to transform the existing Smart Object using Ctrl+T, reposition it correctly, and save. This approach preserves the original mockup but fixes the layout so that designs are placed accurately.
Yes. Once the Smart Object boundaries are fixed, Bulk Mockup detects the updated layer and inserts designs only inside that corrected area, resolving stretching, oversizing, and misalignment issues.
Absolutely. Any template with improperly sized Smart Object canvases can produce this problem. Checking and correcting the Smart Object boundaries is a reliable way to prevent similar issues across multiple PSD files.
