Measuring Guide

Before ordering any frame or mount you first need to know the measurements of your picture, photo or other item you are framing.

I'm ordering just a frame

Step 1: Prepare the items you will need; pen, paper, calculator, tape measure and the item you're framing

Step 2: Take the item you are framing and lay it on a flat surface

Step 3: Measure both the height (top to bottom) and width (left to right) of the item you're framing and write down the dimensions in MM

Step 4: If possible ask a friend/family member or colleague to re-measure double checking you have the correct sizes

Step 5: Simply input the exact sizes you have written

Step 5: Deduct 10mm from the height and width; providing you with an overlap allowing you to stick the picture in place upon receipt

Converting measurements

Our Frame App accepts only measurements in MM. Below is a guide on how to convert from CM and Inches to MM.

CM to MM multiply by 10

So, 10cm is equal to 100mm

Inches to MM multiply by 25.4

So, 10 inches is equal to 254mm
