# Every frame, finish and setting in Frame Up

A tour of everything you can change in Frame Up: the frames and mounts it offers, their materials, mats and borders, custom frames made for your store, rooms, and how the preview looks on your product pages.

**In short:** Frame Up offers ten kinds of frame and mount: classic frames, canvas and prints on every plan, plus box, floating, profile, Dibond and acrylic on Advanced and Plus. Frames come in 36 finishes, with mats, print borders and frame widths to match your stock. On Plus, we also build custom frames and rooms for your store.

## Frames and mounts

Shoppers see each kind of frame and mount in 3D, at the size they pick:

<!-- frame-kinds -->

## Materials and finishes

Frames come in 36 finishes, so you can pick the closest match to each moulding you stock:

<!-- frame-finishes -->

Need a color or finish that isn’t here? [Email us](mailto:contact@frameup.app) a photo of your frame, and we’ll help you find the closest match or talk about adding it.

Canvas edges can be white, black, mirror wrap or image wrap, and Dibond edges white or black. Shoppers see the edge when they turn the artwork in the close-up.

## Mats, borders and frame width

- **Mats.** Add a mountboard inside a classic frame.
- **Print borders.** Add a white border around the image, on prints and framed pieces.
- **Gloss coating.** Give prints and Dibond a gloss finish that catches the light as the artwork turns.
- **Frame width.** Set how wide the moulding is, in millimeters, to match your frames. _Advanced and Plus._
- **Float gap.** Set the gap around artwork in a floating frame. _Advanced and Plus._
- **Border sizes.** Set the width of a print border, side to side and top to bottom. _Advanced and Plus._

When an artwork’s shape doesn’t match the size, choose whether to crop it to fit, stretch it, resize the frame to the image or leave a border.

## Custom frames

On the Plus plan we build frames that aren’t in the standard range, so the preview matches what you actually sell. There are three ways to do it, depending on the frame and how much detail it needs:

- **2D frames.** We make a flat, straight-on frame from a good photo of your moulding. It’s the quickest route, and it suits patterned and decorative frames that look their best face on. The preview shows the artwork straight on, without turning.
- **3D moulding frames.** From a photo of a length of your moulding, we repeat its pattern along each side, meeting neatly at the corners. The frame keeps the same detail at every size, from a small print to a large canvas, and turns in 3D like a standard frame.
- **Photorealistic ornate frames.** For carved and gilded frames we recreate the frame in full 3D, carving and all. It catches the light and casts real shadows as the shopper turns it, and keeps its detail at every size you sell.

We can build custom mounts too, such as acrylic panels on standoff pins in silver, gold or black. Custom frames are available only to your store, and extra fees may apply. A clear photo of a frame’s corner and the width of its moulding is usually enough to start.

## Rooms

- **A library of rooms.** Living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and more, styled simply so the artwork stays the subject. The full library is on Advanced and Plus.
- **The best room for each size.** Choose up to three rooms and Frame Up picks the one that suits each size. _Advanced and Plus._ See [showing every size to scale](/guides/showing-every-size-to-scale).
- **Custom rooms.** We make rooms for your store from photos of your own space. _Plus._

## How the preview appears

- **First view.** Open the preview close up on the artwork or in the room. On Plus, you can also show the close-up only, with no room view.
- **Reflections.** Soft reflections for a balanced look, or sharp ones to show off gloss.
- **Your language.** The preview’s buttons follow your store’s language in English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish and Turkish.
- **Branding.** Plus removes the small Frame Up badge from the room view.

## The artwork and your products

- **Which image.** Use the first, second or third product image as the artwork. On Plus, each variant can use its own image instead.
- **Which products.** Show Frame Up on every product, or only on the product types you choose.
- **Variant rules.** Rules change the frame, finish, mat or size as shoppers pick options, reading your option names the way you write them. See [how Frame Up works with Shopify](/guides/how-frame-up-works-with-shopify).

## Questions

**Can Frame Up match the exact frames I sell?**
Most frames match closely using the standard kinds and finishes, with the frame depth set to your moulding. For anything outside the range, such as a carved ornate frame or your own moulding, the Plus plan includes custom frames made for your store.

**Do I set these up for every product?**
No. You choose a default style once, and variant rules change it as shoppers pick options, for every product that uses those options.

**Which settings need the Advanced or Plus plan?**
Every plan includes classic frames, canvas and prints, mats, borders and the full range of finishes. Advanced adds the other seven kinds of frame and mount, frame depth and border sizes, the full room library and choosing rooms by size. Plus adds custom frames and rooms, a close-up-only preview, variant images and no Frame Up badge.
