How to Resize a Picture Frame! // Change your Frame to Fit the Picture!

Have you ever had the issue of not being able to find a frame the right size for your picture? It can be so frustrating when you have an irregular sized picture and you can’t find a frame to fit it, which might mean either you never hang the picture, or you hang it in a frame that is too big and end up with gaps on the sides.
I’m going to show you how to resize a frame to fit your picture, so you can say goodbye to those weird gaps, and get those awesome works of art up onto your walls!!

Thank you. I made a square needlepoint (took me 37 years to finish!!), and the only frame option that i am happy with is a wooden frame that is larger and not square. I was nervous about the idea of rebuilding it - everyone seemed to think it was a bad idea, and i've never done such a thing.
Thanks to you, i see my idea isn't crazy, the techniques you use are the same i was figuring i'd have to do, and i'm totally confident it will come out fine. WHEW!!

Thank you for sharing this idea. I have a custom made pixel picture and there was no frame the size i needed. I went to the store and bought the next biggest size frame. I will have to cut it down both directions just like you did but now that I see what I was thinking in action, I don’t feel so stupid. Thank you very much for sharing this brilliant idea!

would you recommend this method if the difference is 1/4 of an inch in frame size on both dimensions?

what if you want to put a photo into a frame that's too big all around? Could you show us the steps (especially the measuring part to achieve this? I could post my picture and my frame for yo to see and would love any tips...Thanks : )

I always have the problem with the picture being slightly bigger than the frame. It’s not always practical to trim the picture so how do I do that?

H ow do i make inside of frame larger if a tad too small for a canvas panel to fit. Have used Dremel, but is messy grinding off material to make it fit and hard to do inside corners.

Hello, how did you remove the original plexiglass from the frame? I have a frame that the plexiglass is glued to the frame???

Do you have a video of custom cutting an aluminum frame like the BJÖRKSTA frame of IKEA?

[DavyDave]

That’s like. A lot of work. I think I’ll just put black paper behind to conceal that gaps lol
