HOW IT WORKS
Use the usable frame opening, not the outside edge or the visible mat window.
Check the full artwork size in both orientations. Keep missing measurements visible.
Review a close fit, plan a mat for extra space, or keep looking. Confirm a pair when you’re happy.
COMMON QUESTIONS
No. Fit comes from measurements you provide. A photo alone cannot establish size or clearance.
No. Check depth, backing, condition and any size tolerances in person. The sample below compares width and height only.
