Custom Framed Prints: Gallery-Quality & Ready to Hang

Shutterfly’s custom framed prints are designed to deliver true gallery-style wall art by combining professional photo printing with precision framing. Each piece is printed on archival-quality paper for rich color and sharp detail, then mounted and protected with framing-grade acrylic that helps guard against dust, fingerprints, and UV fading. Finished with secure backing and pre-attached hanging hardware, your framed print arrives ready to display — no additional framing required.

FAQs

What sizes are available for framed prints?

Shutterfly offers a wide range of sizes, including 8x10, 10x24, 11x14, 12x12, 14x28, 16x16, 16x20, 20x30, and 24x36, making it easy to fit any space.

Can I add matting to my photo frame?

Absolutely. Optional acid-free mats in black or white add depth and elegance. Choose single or layered mats for a more sophisticated look.

Are the frames protective and ready to hang?

Yes. Each frame uses shatter-resistant acrylic for lasting clarity and protection and includes a wire hanger and kraft paper backing for easy hanging.

Can I print framed photos from my phone?

Yes — you can absolutely order framed photos directly from your phone. Simply open the Shutterfly mobile app, upload the photos you want, and customize your framed print just as you would on desktop. Once you’re happy with the layout, frame style, and size, place your order right through the app — and your print will be shipped to your door.

What’s the difference between a framed print and a framed canvas print?

A framed print is a high-quality photo on paper with protective acrylic, creating a sleek, polished look. A framed canvas print is printed on textured canvas, stretched over a frame, and optionally framed for a gallery-style finish. Both options beautifully showcase your photos, but framed prints offer crisp, vibrant imagery with a classic finish. Follow our guide on How to Choose Between Canvas Prints and Framed Prints for more information.

Showcase Photos Beyond Framed Prints

Framed pictures are just one way to showcase your favorite snapshots, but Shutterfly offers plenty of other creative options. You can create sleek metal prints for a modern, glossy look that makes colors pop, or design photo books that tell your story across custom pages. For a cozy touch, personalized photo blankets add warmth to your home, while seasonal items like photo Christmas ornaments and Christmas cards help you celebrate special moments. Everyday memories can also be made special with one-of-a-kind items like photo mugs or custom wall calendars. No matter how you choose to display them, Shutterfly makes it easy to turn your photos into lasting keepsakes.
