Choosing one of the standard picture frame sizes for your artwork, or photographs may have more to do with what you are framing, than the dimensions of your final photo. There are common dimensions for photo casings, these would be the ones that refer to the regular areas available for most printed pics. There are times when you may want a "matte" to make a border for the art, and change the portion of what you will see.
Keep in mind that the measurements for the framework are the inside on the back where the opening is. Some images will fit perfectly into this opening and other may be too small. If a print is too small, using a border around it will allow you to use the framework that you want and only show the image.
The standard picture frame sizes are what you will usually see placed nicely around someone's home. They hold the photographs of family members and usually school snapshots. These casings can have different "mattes" inside them that allow you to view more than one photo. You can view your child's school photos from every year all in one framework, when you have the right backing.
In most places in the world other than the United States of America, framework is measured in centimeters. In the United States casings are sized in inches. Some frameworks can be used in either a vertical or horizontal way. A 5 x 7 framework can be displayed in both directions, while a 7 x 5 casing can only be shown in a horizontal direction.
The stand flap for a casing is located on the backing, as long as the smaller dimension is first you will be able to stand your photo in either the vertical or horizontal position. When you are going to place the framework on the wall the metal hardware on the back will be on both sides. If the first dimension is the larger of the two numbers it will only be able to hang in one direction.
As long as you know a bit about the standard picture frame sizes, you will be able to know how you can display your artwork or photos. There are people who like their photo to be placed standing on fire places or in china cabinets, and others who like to place their photos on a wall. Most of the time it is artwork that gets hung on a wall and it may need a custom framework.
It is the 8 x 10 standard picture frame sizes that are normally hung on walls. These normally have an individual photo of family members or the entire family in one photo.
Before you choose your casing, measure the area you want to be seen. This way when you purchase your casing you will know whether or not you want or need a border or "matte", for your photo. Keep these measurements written down when you go to purchase your framework and you will be sure to get the exact size that you need.
