How To
Measure for Picture Frames

All frames are measured using the inside dimensions, height and width. So if you have a 30x40cm image, you need to order a 30x40cm frame. IIt's common to assume the dimensions relate to the outer edges. You can customise your perfect frame in our picture frame designer.

All measurements you input for custom frames will be in millimetres (mm).

Measuring your picture to fit directly into a frame with no mount is very simple:

1. Lay and flatten your print on a level surface
2. Take the measurements of the height and width of the area you'd like to frame. If you're planning on trimming your print, please do so before taking measurements. If your print has white borders and you don't want to see them, you'll need to trim them off.

   

   
3. Please double check your measurements or confirm your sizes with a friend
4. Simply input the measurements you've taken into the framing studio or product page & we'll make sure the frame fits your print

For example, if you're framing a print that's 300mm x 450mm, input the sizes 300mm x 450mm.

We will cut the mount opening exactly 10mm smaller in height and width. This is to allow you to attach your picture to the mount whilst preventing your picture from falling through the opening.

If you don't want us to make any adjustments to the mount opening size, please contact us or let us know in the order comments box during checkout.
