Quickly Calculate the dimensions of a mat, image, or frame for your project.

"A good tool that makes calculations easy. Thanks!" - Farquarsen

The Matting Calculator has been developed to help artists, framers, and DIYers to accurately calculate the following questions:

1. What opening will I have if I use an existing frame with a set mat width?

2. What frame size do I need to fit my image with a set mat width?.

3. What mat width are needed mat an existing frame with my image?

While the math to preform these calculations is easy, it is also easy to make calculation errors. When mistakes are made they are often not caught until after the mat is cut. With the cost of mat board currently going between $5 to $50. The savings received from getting the calculations correct is very valuable. Capture this value by using the Matting Calculator today.

The Matting Calculator also comes with these additional features:
* Mat Board Optimize
* Proportions Scale
* Mat Preview
* Save Calculation

Mat Board Optimizer - This simple tool lets you know how many mats with the same outer dimensions can be cut out of one board. The layout preview shows different options for laying out the mats to get the most out of the board. This feature will save you additional $$ by maximizing your materials.

Proportions scale - This tool lets you easily scale to different sizes without modifying the proportions. This is especially useful when you have the option to print an image any size you want.

Mat Preview - Have you ever wanted to know what your finished mat will look like before you buy the wrong color. The preview tool lets you insert an image into a scaled mat preview. You can change out colors, and find the right color before you buy the board.

Save Calculation - After completing a calculation you can use the save tool to assign that calculation a name and keep for future use. Easily browse through your saved mat calculations at a later date. This allows you to create a virtual mat library of calculations.
