Photo Print & Frame Size Guide
Standard frames in India match standard print sizes — order the print first, or use our frame calculator before you buy locally.
Order Print or FrameQuick answer: Match print size to frame opening: 4×6 prints fit 4×6 inch frames, 8×10 prints fit 8×10 frames. A4 prints need A4 frames. Add mat borders by choosing slightly larger frames only when intentional.
Nothing frustrates like a print that floats in an oversized frame or gets cropped by a too-small opening. Indian retailers stock 4×6, 5×7, 8×10, and A4 frames widely; custom framing suits A3 and 12×18 wall pieces. PrintPosters offers optional borders and framed products — or order loose prints to fit frames you already own. Measure the frame opening, not the outer moulding. Our frame calculator tool maps print dimensions to common frame SKUs.
