Frame Your Own Wall Art, Your Way

CustomPictureFrames.com is not a catalog of pre-made framed art. There is no fixed library of poster designs to pick from. What we sell is the framing itself, made to your exact size, around the art you supply.

There are three paths through this page, and all three end at the frame designer. The first path is for digital files: upload a photo, scan, or image and we print and frame it. The second path is for physical art you already own: measure it, choose a frame, and we build the frame to those dimensions for you to drop the piece in at home. The third path is the gallery wall builder, which is the same flow repeated for several pieces planned together.

Pick the path that matches what you have, and the rest of this page covers the specifics of each.

Upload Art We Print and Frame

The print and frame path covers any digital image you have the rights to print. Common files we receive: phone photos, DSLR and mirrorless camera files, digital art and illustration, AI-generated images, scans of children's drawings and watercolors, and digital downloads from Etsy or independent artist sites.

For a clean print, the image should hold about 150 PPI at the final size. An 18 by 24 inch print, for example, looks sharpest from a file around 2,700 by 3,600 pixels. Phone photos taken on modern cameras handle this for most living-room sizes. For very large pieces, use the original camera file rather than a copy sent through messaging or social apps, since shared copies are usually compressed.

The print and frame flow handles printing, mounting, mat cutting, and assembly as one order. See the dedicated print and frame page for the full service, or visit giclée printing for archival fine-art reproductions of original work.

Frame Prints and Posters You Already Own

If the piece is physical, measure it once, order a frame to those dimensions, and drop it in at home. Common pieces customers send to us this way: vacation art and prints picked up on trips, posters that have been rolled up in a closet, concert and museum posters, gallery prints, antique maps, kids artwork on paper, and signed memorabilia on paper or board.

Measure to the visible image area for a tight fit, or to the outside of the paper if you want the full margin shown. Add a mat to bridge between standard print sizes and a frame size you prefer, or skip the mat and order a frame at the exact paper dimensions. Our how to measure guide walks through both methods.

For full-size posters, the dedicated poster frames page covers standard movie, music, and event poster dimensions.

Choose a Frame Style for Your Wall Art

Frame style sets the tone of the wall. Solid wood frames in black, white, walnut, and natural finishes are the most versatile choice and the best fit for photography and everyday prints. Gold and ornate styles work for traditional decor, formal photos, vintage prints, and pieces with classic art. Metal frames in black, silver, and gold suit modern interiors, posters, and graphic art. Vintage finishes pair well with antique maps, botanical prints, and family heirloom photos.

Explore frame families in depth on the wood picture frames, metal picture frames, vintage picture frames, ornate picture frames, and large picture frames hubs.

Mats matter as much as the frame for a gallery look. A wide white or off-white mat lifts photography and prints off the frame edge and gives the eye somewhere to land. Most customers find a 2 to 3 inch mat looks right for everyday wall art. Add a colored or double mat to pick up a tone in the piece itself.

Framed Wall Art for Any Room

For framed wall art in a living room, the most reliable sizing rule is to fill roughly two-thirds of the sofa width with a single piece or with a balanced grouping. Over a standard 84 inch sofa, that points to a single 30 by 40 to 40 by 50 inch framed piece, or three medium pieces totaling around 56 inches across.

Over a bed, the same rule applies relative to the headboard width. A queen bed (60 inches wide) takes a 30 by 40 piece centered, or a pair of 16 by 20s side by side. In hallways and stairwells, a tight cluster of small to medium pieces reads better than one large piece and handles narrow viewing distances.

For dining rooms, entryways, and offices, treat the wall like the sofa rule: aim for roughly two-thirds of the dominant horizontal furniture line. Without furniture as an anchor, size relative to the wall itself.

Turn Your Wall Art Into a Gallery Wall

If you are framing more than one piece for the same wall, the gallery wall builder lets you plan the whole arrangement in advance. Lay out the pieces, balance sizes and frame finishes across the group, and order the full set at once so all frames arrive together and match in tone.

Mixing frame styles in a gallery wall is the rule, not the exception. The grouping reads as intentional when frames share one common element, usually finish or profile width, and vary on the others. Try all black frames with mixed mat widths, or mixed wood tones with the same simple profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you frame art I already own?

Yes. Measure your piece, pick a frame style, mat, and glazing in the frame designer, and we build the frame to your exact dimensions and ship it for you to drop in at home. Vacation posters, gallery prints, kids artwork, gift prints, anything you already have on paper or board is a good fit.

Can I upload my own image to print and frame?

Yes. Upload a photo, digital art, or any image file in the frame designer and we print and frame it as a single ready-to-hang piece. Choose your size, frame, and mat in the same flow. We recommend an image that holds about 150 PPI at your final print size for a sharp result.

Do you frame AI-generated art or digital prints I bought online?

Yes. If you have the rights to print and display the image, upload the file in the frame designer and we print and frame it at the size you pick. AI image files and digital downloads from Etsy and similar marketplaces are framed the same way as any other upload.

Can you frame a child's drawing or a scan?

Yes, in both directions. Scan the drawing and upload the scan to print and frame at any size you like, or send the original paper drawing and we build a custom frame and mat sized to the artwork. Many parents use the scan path so the original can stay in a keepsake folder.

What sizes can framed wall art be?

Framed wall art is made to your exact dimensions with no fixed stock sizes. Common pieces over a sofa run 24 by 36 to 30 by 40 inches, hallway pieces 16 by 20 to 20 by 30, and gallery wall mixes anywhere from 5 by 7 up. Enter any dimensions in the frame designer to see your price.

How long does framed wall art take to ship?

Standard framed wall art orders ship in 3-5 business days. Large pieces follow the same window in most cases. Tracking goes out by email when the order ships.
