Framing your artwork doesn’t have to feel like a math problem. Simply enter the size of your artwork, choose inches or centimeters, and add the mat border you’d like around your piece.
The calculator will figure out the mat opening, finished mat size, and frame size for you. If you’d like to use a double mat, just check that option and add the amount of the second mat you want to peek through.
Your results will appear in both U.S. and metric measurements, along with a suggested ready-made frame size when one is available.
