Frame size checker

Compare paper, image, frame and mat dimensions in metric or imperial units.

01

Print and frame sizes

Measure the whole paper and the image on it separately. Use the frame's internal fitting size, not its outside dimensions. For feet and inches, use 1 ft 6 in.

How to use the frame size checker

  1. Measure the entire paper, then the image printed on it. These can be different sizes.
  2. Enter the internal fitting size of the frame. Outside frame dimensions do not tell you what fits inside.
  3. Add a mat opening if needed and check paper overlap and image cropping. Confirm manufacturer tolerances before buying.

A worked example

Example: 20 × 28 inches converts to 50.8 × 71.12 cm. A 50 × 70 cm print is smaller in both dimensions, but the difference is not an assurance of a secure fit.

These are hypothetical measurements and product details. Use your own measurements and packaging information.

Does a 50 × 70 cm print fit a 20 × 28 inch frame?
