At Just Picture Framing Online, buying a custom frame is not only simple and fun, but it also allows you to create a personalised item from the comfort of your own home. If you’ve ever felt intimidated by the thought of custom picture framing online, we’re here to show you just how easy it really is. With our user-friendly custom friendly builder, you can design your perfect frame in minutes.  

Step 1: Enter Your Image Size

To get started, simply head to the top right-hand corner of the page and enter your image size (width x height). This tells the framing tool exactly what size your photo, print, or artwork is, so we can help you find the perfect fit.  

Step 2: Upload Your Image

Next, you’ll have the option to upload your image. This is a fantastic feature if you want to see exactly how your picture will look inside the frame before you buy. If you would like us to print your image with your frame, uploading it here is a must. Prefer to order an empty frame for your own use later? No problem! You can simply skip this step if you just need a frame without the photo inside.  

Step 3: Select Your Desired Frame

Now for the fun part: picking your frame! Our frames are thoughtfully sorted by colour, making it easy to find the perfect match for your decor, artwork, or photograph. Whether you love the clean elegance of white frames, the simplicity of black frames, or the classic look of wood frames, you’ll find plenty of options. Before proceeding, make sure to check the frame details by clicking on any frame that catches your eye. This will show you important information like frame width, depth, material, and any special design features. Paying attention to these details ensures that your final framed piece will be just right for your needs.  

Step 4: Add a Mat Board (Optional)

Adding a mat board is a great way to enhance the presentation of your framed piece. If you choose to include a mat, you’ll select:

• The colour of the mat board
• The number of mats (single or double mat)
• The size of the mat using the easy drop-down menu

A mat board not only adds a professional touch to your artwork but also protects it by creating space between the image and the glass. If you prefer a minimalist look, you can skip this step and frame your image without a mat.

Step 5: Select Your Glass Option

Protecting your image is important, which is why we offer several glass options:

• Clear Glass – Great for general use and displays
• Perspex – Lightweight and shatter-resistant, perfect for larger frames
• Non-Reflective Glass – Reduces glare and enhances viewing

Simply select the glass option that best suits your needs. If you’re framing something that doesn’t require glass (like a stretched canvas), you can also select ‘none’.  

Step 6: Choose Your Printing Option (If Uploading an Image)

If you uploaded your image earlier, this is where you can choose your photo paper finish:

• Matte
• High Gloss
• Metallic

Each finish offers a different look and feel to your final product. Matte paper offers a soft, elegant appearance; high gloss adds vibrancy and sharpness; metallic paper creates a luminous, dramatic effect. We print with the highest quality standards to ensure your photos and artwork look stunning once framed.

Step 7: View Your Completed Work

Once you’ve made all your selections, you can view your completed framed piece! Use our innovative Room View options to preview your framed image against different wall colours or even a photo of a room. This feature helps you visualise exactly how the frame will look in your home or office before you commit to purchasing. It’s a fantastic tool for making sure your frame complements your space perfectly.

Step 8: Save and Compare

Not quite ready to decide? No problem! You can Quick Save your current frame and compare it with other options. This way, you can explore different frame styles, matting choices, and glass options without losing your progress.

Step 9: Complete Your Purchase

When you’re ready to finalise your masterpiece, simply add the frame to your cart or click Buy It Now to proceed straight to checkout. Our streamlined process means no frustrating back-and-forth, no waiting weeks for quotes, and no unexpected surprises. Just simple, secure, and efficient custom picture framing from start to finish.
