ReferenceFrame
Picture Frame Build Calculator
$4.99 · Designed for iPad
ReferenceFrame does the math for custom picture framing. Enter your artwork size and frame stock dimensions, and it sorts out mat cuts, rabbet clearances, material stack depths, and a complete cut list.
WHAT IT DOES
- Calculates frame, mat, and cut dimensions from your artwork size
- Checks that everything actually fits in the rabbet (and tells you when it won't)
- Generates a technical cross-section diagram with labeled dimensions
- Exports a PDF summary you can take to the workshop
- Saves configurations and keeps a history of your designs
DETAILS
- Inches (including fractions) or millimeters
- Standard and custom artwork sizes
- Adjustable defaults for frame stock, mat width, material thicknesses, and more
- Works entirely offline; nothing leaves your device
Built for anyone who's ever needed to know exactly how wide to cut a mat, and would rather not find out the hard way that they were off by an eighth.
