Picture Frame Cut Calculator
The free Picture Frame Cut Calculator answers one question: Molding cut lengths for any artwork and mat. Enter your numbers in inches or millimeters and the result updates instantly in your browser, with no sign-up and no app to install. Use it on your phone at the bench, then copy or print the result for your cut list.
Lengths are measured on the long point of the 45° miter. We add 1/8″ of breathing room to the rabbet.
