Check a frame and request a different shape

A lovely frame should not cost an artwork its edges—or its signature.

Let’s take it step by step

  1. Open the artwork page and choose Check aspect ratio & request a custom fit, or scroll to the aspect-ratio checker.
  2. Choose a preset ratio, or enter your own width and height using the same unit for both.
  3. First look at the complete-image preview. Empty space means the artwork and frame have different proportions.
  4. If useful, tick Show a centred crop preview to see what a simple crop would remove. Read the fit message.
  5. Select Ask about a free customisation to carry the artwork and dimensions into an enquiry. If a particular fit is essential, ask before purchasing.
  6. We will agree what can be changed and the expected timing. An agreed aspect-ratio adjustment is free after full payment, with the signature kept visible or repositioned.

What to expect

The preview helps identify a fit problem, and the enquiry carries your selected artwork and requested proportions.

A few things to know

  • The checker does not create a new customer file or automatically move the signature.
  • A preview is not approval of every possible crop or a promised turnaround time.
  • New artwork or additional changes can need a separate commission quote.

00:00:00.000–00:00:05.500

Check size and room placement. Test site recording with edited pauses. No audio.

00:00:05.500–00:00:11.400

Check your frame proportions before buying. This preview never changes the original file.

00:00:11.400–00:00:17.200

Choose a frame shape. Fit preserves the whole artwork; a square frame may need a border.

00:00:17.200–00:00:23.100

Turn on the crop preview to see what would be trimmed. Check the artwork and signature carefully.

00:00:23.100–00:00:28.933

Adjust the slider for approximate placement. Choose a scale drawing when you need centimetres and inches.

00:00:28.933–00:00:34.733

Choose a scale drawing for measurements. The photographic rooms show approximate placement only.
