About FrameMount

Almost everything that goes wrong when you hang art comes down to a measurement made on a ladder with a pencil in your teeth. How high does the nail actually go so the picture lands at eye level? How do you space five frames evenly and keep them centered? Is this piece big enough for the wall above the sofa, and will the hook even hold it? None of it is difficult arithmetic, but doing it in your head while holding a heavy frame is exactly when the holes end up in the wrong place. FrameMount was built to do that measuring for you before you pick up the hammer.

The site is a set of small, single-purpose calculators, each aimed at one real question you ask while hanging art. The Picture Hanging Height Calculator turns the art’s height and the wire drop into the exact spot for the nail on the 57-inch gallery line. The Gallery Wall Spacing Calculator spaces a row of frames evenly and centers it, with a mark for each one. The Frame Size for Wall Calculator sizes art to the furniture beneath it, and the Hanging Hardware Weight Calculator matches hooks and anchors to the weight. The Frame & Mat Size Calculator works out the mat window, glass, and frame from your print, and the Salon Wall Grid Calculator plans a tidy grid of matching frames.

Beyond the calculators, the blog and learn section cover picture-hanging basics, arranging gallery walls, frames and matting, and displaying wall art, along with the reasoning behind the numbers the tools produce. The Gallery & Framing Museum is a browsable collection of the frames, galleries, salons, and artworks that shaped how we display pictures, with every entry, image, and fact drawn from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.

A few things worth stating plainly. FrameMount is an independent site, not a framer, a contractor, or an installer, and it is not affiliated with any hardware or framing brand. It is supported by advertising, which is how the tools stay free with no account required. Every result — a hook height, a spacing plan, a recommended frame size, a hardware rating — is a general estimate built on the numbers you enter and on standard rules of thumb, not a professional installation specification. Walls, fixings, and valuable art vary, so treat anything load-bearing as a starting point and confirm it against the ratings printed on your hardware. If a tool looks off, or you think a calculator is missing that would help, the contact page is the place to say so.
