Most picture frames add something around the photo: a wooden border, a mount, a metal rim. A frameless acrylic print adds nothing. The image is printed on the clear panel and runs to every edge, and the edge itself is polished smooth so it catches light cleanly. What you see is the picture and nothing else.
That simplicity has one consequence you should understand before ordering. With no border to hide behind, the crop is final. If your photo is a different shape from the panel, part of it is trimmed or the panel takes the photo's proportions. Phone photos are usually 3:4 or 9:16, which lines up well with sizes like 12×16 in and 18×24 in. A 4:5 photo suits 16×20 in. Use the 3D preview to check where heads and horizons land.
Faces and text should sit well inside the edge, because the very outer strip of a photo can feel tight when nothing surrounds it. If you want the panel to stand off the wall with a shadow, look at floating acrylic. For a quieter, flush look, the same studs hold the panel close to the wall. Upload your photo and the image-quality check will tell you whether it has enough resolution for the size you chose. If it does not, try a smaller size rather than stretching a soft photo across a large panel, because a bare edge shows every flaw.
How borders and crops work when there is no frame to hide them
A normal frame forgives sloppy composition because the border draws your eye inward. Without it, uneven margins show. Before uploading, look at the corners of your photo. A stray hand, a bin or a half-cut person at the edge will be noticed on a bare panel, so crop them out first.
You can also add a white or coloured border to the image yourself before uploading if you want a poster look on clear acrylic. It is a design choice, not a flaw, and it works well for wedding invitations, quotes and prints with text. For a pure photograph, leave the border off and let the picture run.
Where an edge-to-edge panel looks best, and where it does not
Frameless suits walls that are already calm: white, off-white, pale grey or a soft earthy tone. Against a dark wall the clear edge picks up the colour behind it, which can be lovely or distracting depending on the photo. Try the 3D preview with your own room colour to judge.
It is less ideal beside heavy wooden furniture and ornate frames, where the clean line can feel out of place. In that case, keep the panel on its own wall rather than in a mixed gallery. A group of frameless panels of the same size and spacing, however, looks very deliberate.

Best Places to Display
Sizes and photo shapes that crop cleanly
The closer your photo's shape matches the panel, the less is trimmed. These are the common pairings.
| Size | Best For |
|---|---|
| 12×16" | Matches a typical 3:4 phone photo with almost no trimming. |
| 16×20" | Matches 4:5 photos, common from portrait mode and studio shoots. |
| 18×24" | Another 3:4 fit, with enough presence for a single feature piece. |
| 20×30" | Suits 2:3 camera files and the thickest 3mm panel we make. |
| 24×36" | Wide 2:3 landscapes and wedding frames on a large wall. |
| Custom | Panoramas and unusual shapes, up to 48×96 in on 5mm. |

Interior & Placement Tips
- Keep faces and text a little way inside the edge so nothing feels cramped.
- Pick one size and repeat it for a group. Mixed sizes with no frame can look random.
- Check the 3D preview on the actual panel shape, not just your phone gallery view.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose 3mm or 5mm acrylic?
3mm is lightweight and goes up to 20×30 inches. 5mm has a thicker feel and is the choice for larger displays, up to 48×96 inches.
How long does an acrylic frame take to arrive?
Production is typically 1–3 working days after payment and file check. After dispatch, metro locations usually take 2–5 days and other locations 4–8 days.
What photo resolution do I need?
Higher resolution gives a sharper print, especially at large sizes. The upload step checks your photo and warns you if it is too small for the size you picked.
Does the frame come ready to hang?
Stainless-steel studs are included on eligible sizes from 12×18 inches and above. Smaller sizes suit a shelf or table.
Will any of my photo be cut off at the edges?
If your photo has a different shape from the panel, some area is trimmed to fill it. The 3D preview shows where the cut falls. If you cannot spare any edge, choose a custom size that matches your photo's proportions.
Is the edge sharp or rough?
The edge is polished smooth, so it feels clean and finished rather than raw. Like any hard panel, it is still best handled with a little care, and corners should not be knocked against hard surfaces during hanging.
How is a frameless panel held to the wall?
Eligible sizes from 12×18 in come with stainless-steel studs, and the panel sits close to the wall. Smaller sizes are made for a shelf or table. The hanging guide on this site walks through marking, drilling and levelling.
Can I add a white border to a frameless print?
Yes. The border is part of the printed design, so add one to your image before uploading and it prints on the clear panel. It looks like a poster edge. Remember that white on clear acrylic reads as white ink, not as transparent.
Does a frameless panel suit a rented home?
It is light enough for most walls, and the flush look hides well against plain paint. Studs still need drilled holes, so expect a small patch when you move. Lightweight 3mm panels on shelves need no drilling at all.
What is the difference between frameless and floating?
They use the same print. Frameless is about the edge-to-edge design with no border. Floating is about mounting it on studs with a shadow gap behind it. You can combine both, and most eligible sizes ship with the studs to do so.
