Picture-Hanging & Gallery-Wall Calculators
Free tools for every wall — hanging height, gallery-wall spacing, frame sizing, hardware weight ratings, frame-and-mat sizing, and salon-grid planning.
Picture Hanging Height Calculator
Get the exact nail height that puts your art on the 57-inch gallery center line, from its height and the wire drop — plus the resulting top and bottom edges
Gallery Wall Spacing Calculator
Turn a wall width and a row of frames into even, centered spacing, with the total width, the side margins, and a center mark for every frame
Frame Size for Wall Calculator
Right-size art for the space — enter the furniture or wall width and get the recommended art width at about two-thirds, plus the clearance to leave above
Hanging Hardware Weight Calculator
Match hooks and anchors to the weight — the right picture-hook rating for one or two hooks, and whether you need a wall anchor or a stud
Frame & Mat Size Calculator
From a print size and mat border, get the mat window, the glass and mat-board size, and the finished outer frame — the whole cut list
Salon Wall Grid Calculator
Plan a tidy grid of matching frames — the total count and footprint from rows, columns, size, and gap, and centered margins on your wall
Gallery & Framing Museum
Step into an illustrated museum of how art gets framed and shown — the craft of the frame itself, from carved and gilded moldings to the mat that sets a picture off; the great galleries and Paris salons that shaped how paintings are hung; the easels, pedestals, and mantels art lives against; and the portraits, murals, and tapestries themselves, each in its own gallery, so you can see where the way we display pictures came from.
