Start by measuring your art from edge to edge. A 16x24 picture frame typically fits a 16x24 print without a mat. Some frames on this page include mats for smaller artwork (for example, 12x18), while others are sized only for full 16x24 posters.

• If your art is 16x24: Look for a frame listed as 16x24 without a mat.
• If your art is smaller (like 12x18 or 14x20): Choose a 16x24 frame that mentions a matching mat opening in the description.
• Note on mats: Mat openings are usually cut slightly smaller than the listed size to keep prints in place. Always review product details for exact fit.

Many 16x24 poster frames here offer a removable mat to display smaller prints, such as 12x18. Product titles or descriptions often say “matted to 12x18,” which means the outer frame is 16x24 and the mat opening suits a smaller size.

• Check the listing: Look for phrases like “includes mat” or “matted to …”.
• Fit details: Mat openings are typically a bit smaller than the stated size so your photo or poster doesn’t slip.
• Customization: If you need a different opening or color, consider a frame sold without a mat and pair it with a separate mat that matches your print.

Both are popular in 16x24 picture frames, and the better choice depends on where you’ll hang it and your preferences.

• Glass: Often more scratch-resistant and offers crisp clarity. It can be heavier and may break if dropped.
• Plexiglass/acrylic: Lighter and shatter-resistant, which can be helpful in high-traffic areas or kids’ spaces. It can show scratches more easily and may attract dust from static.
• Glare and UV: Some listings mention anti-glare or specialty glazing; check the product details to see what’s included.

Review the item description to confirm the cover material and choose what best fits your space and handling needs.

Hanging a 16x24 poster frame is straightforward with the right hardware and a little planning.

• Confirm hardware: Check the frame for sawtooth hangers, D-rings, or wire, and note the weight.
• Choose anchors: Match anchors or hooks to your wall type (drywall, plaster, or masonry) and the frame’s weight rating.
• Use two points: For D-rings or wire, two hooks can help reduce shifting and keep the frame level.
• Measure and level: Mark your placement, space hooks to match the hangers, and use a level.

Hardware requirements vary by frame and wall. Following the hardware instructions and using rated anchors can help improve stability.

Most 16x24 poster frames are designed for flat prints and photos, not deep stretched canvas. If your canvas is stretched over a frame, consider options made for added depth.

• Shadowbox or deep frames: Look for frames that mention extra interior depth to accommodate canvas thickness.
• Canvas boards: If your piece is a thin canvas board, it may fit some poster frames—check the frame’s depth details.
• Alternative displays: Floater-style or open-face displays can showcase the canvas edges.

Measure your canvas thickness and review the product description for the frame’s interior depth to choose a compatible display approach.
