What is a framed photo print?

A framed photo print is your photo printed on quality paper, surrounded by a mat, and set inside a real frame behind a clear cover, ready to hang. Our framed prints come with a pure-white mat, a gallery-style frame, and a protective acrylic glass cover. Everything arrives assembled, so you just pick your spot and hang it.

What is a mat, and why does my framed print have one?

A mat is the flat border, usually white, that sits between your photo and the frame. It does two jobs: it gives your picture room to breathe so it looks like gallery art, and it keeps the photo from touching the cover, which protects it over time. Every one of our framed prints includes a clean, pure-white mat.

What is a bevel-cut mat?

A bevel-cut mat has its inner edge cut at a 45-degree angle instead of straight down. That angled cut catches the light and draws a soft, clean line around your photo, so no harsh shadow falls across the image. It is the small detail that makes framing look professional. We bevel-cut every mat in pure white.

What size frame do I need for an 8x10 photo?

For an 8x10 photo with a mat, an 11x14 frame is the classic choice. The mat covers about a quarter-inch of each edge and adds a border of roughly 1.5 inches around the picture, which creates that gallery look. If you would rather have the photo fill the frame with no border, an 8x10 frame fits the print edge to edge.

What are the standard frame sizes for photos?

The most common photo frame sizes in inches are 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, and 24x36. Smaller sizes like 5x7 and 8x10 look great on shelves and desks, while 16x20 and larger make strong wall pieces. Our framed prints come in popular sizes from 8x8 up to 20x30 inches.

What is the difference between a framed print and a canvas print?

A framed print is a photo on paper behind a mat and a clear cover, set in a frame; a canvas print is your photo stretched over a wooden frame with no glass or mat. Framed prints give a crisp, classic look that suits portraits and formal photos. Canvas gives a soft, textured, frameless look that fits casual and modern rooms.

Glass or acrylic — which is better for a framed photo?

Acrylic is the better choice for most framed photos because it is lighter, clearer, and will not shatter. It ships safely without cracking, weighs less on your wall, and skips the faint green tint that real glass can have. The trade-off is that acrylic scratches more easily than glass, so clean it gently. Our framed prints use a hand-polished acrylic glass cover.

Do framed photo prints fade over time?

Framed prints can fade slowly if they sit in direct sunlight for years, since UV light is the main cause of fading. The good news is that keeping a print out of harsh, direct sun and behind a protective cover slows this down a lot. Hang your framed print on a wall with bright, indirect light rather than all-day sun, and it will stay vivid for a long time.

What resolution do I need to print and frame a photo?

Aim for about 300 pixels per inch at your chosen print size for the sharpest result, though 150 ppi still looks good. As a rule of thumb, an 8x10 print looks best from a file around 2,400 x 3,000 pixels. Most photos from a modern phone are more than large enough. Skip screenshots or pictures saved from social media, since those are compressed and can look blurry when enlarged.

How much does it cost to frame a photo?

Custom framing at a local shop usually runs $50 to $500 depending on size and materials, and online framing services often fall between $50 and $300. Our framed photo prints start at $18.90 because we print and frame in our own US factories and pass the savings on. That price already includes the print, the mat, the frame, and the acrylic cover.

They are a go-to for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, housewarmings, and remembering a loved one or pet.
