Picture Framing for Artists
Proper framing protects and presents artwork at its best. Whether you frame your own work or need to specify requirements for a framer, accurate measurements are essential. Getting frame, mat and glass sizes wrong wastes expensive materials.
The frame size calculator works out the outer frame dimensions from your artwork size and moulding profile width. Our mat board calculator determines mat board dimensions with correct border widths, including the traditional weighted bottom border that gives artwork visual balance.
For calculating material costs, the frame moulding calculator works out total moulding length including mitre waste, while the frame cost calculator brings together moulding, mat, glass and hardware costs into a total estimate.
