A 23x35 frame is designed to hold artwork that measures 23 inches by 35 inches, such as posters, puzzles, or large prints. It can typically hang vertically or horizontally.

• Measure first: Check your piece’s exact width and height to confirm it matches 23x35.
• Viewable area: The inner lip of the frame usually overlaps the edges slightly, so a tiny bit of your artwork’s border may be covered.
• Using smaller art: Add a mat or float-mount smaller prints for a clean, gallery look.
• Depth matters: Review the product details for interior depth to ensure thicker items (like mounted puzzles) fit comfortably.

An A4 print is smaller than 23x35, so you’ll get great results by building a border around it.

• Add a mat: Use a pre-cut or custom mat with an A4 window inside a 23x35 frame for a balanced, professional look.
• Float mount: Place the A4 on the backing with acid-free photo corners, leaving an even border visible all around.
• Color choices: Neutral mats (white, black) keep it modern; colored mats can highlight tones in the art.
• Protect the print: Choose acid-free materials and avoid pressure-sensitive tapes that can damage paper over time.

A2 artwork is smaller than 23x35 and has a different proportion, so expect a wider border on at least two sides.

• Custom-cut mat: Ask for a mat window sized to A2 so the art is centered within the 23x35 frame.
• Float with space: Float mount the A2 on the backing and keep margins even to create a clean, gallery-style presentation.
• Balance the borders: Because the aspect ratios differ, you can choose equal borders or a slightly larger bottom border for a classic look.
• Check depth: Review the frame’s interior depth if your A2 is on thicker paper or mounted board.

Both 24x36 and 23x35 are popular poster-frame sizes, but they’re not interchangeable.

• Fit considerations: A 24x36 poster won’t fit properly in a 23x35 frame without trimming or a custom solution, and a 23x35 piece will be loose in a 24x36 frame without a mat.
• Choose by artwork size: Match your frame to the exact dimensions of your print to avoid gaps or cropping.
• Browse by size: When shopping, use size filters or check the product title/description to confirm the frame’s opening size.
• Orientation: Both sizes can typically hang vertically or horizontally depending on hardware.

In most cases, 23x35 refers to the size of the artwork the frame is made to hold, not the outer dimensions of the frame.

• Art opening: The frame is built for a 23-inch by 35-inch poster or print. The visible area may be slightly smaller due to the frame lip.
• Outer size varies: The overall outside dimensions depend on the moulding width and style.
• Check details: Product listings often note moulding width and interior depth; reviewing those specs can help you plan wall space and fit.
• With mats: If a mat is included, the listed size typically still refers to the artwork the frame holds.
