Panoramic Photo Frame 12×9 inches

You put hours into your art – now give it the frame it deserves. Our photo frame 12×9 inches is sized for 12 x 9 inch artwork (30.5 x 22.9 cm), one of the most popular sizes for sketchbooks and watercolour pads. Perfect for paintings, drawings, crafts and photos, it comes in Black, White, Oak and Rustic.

Photo Frame 12×9 Inches – Made for Artists

Many sketchbooks, drawing pads and watercolour pads are made at 9 x 12 inches. That means you can tear out a finished page and slip it straight into a photo frame 12×9 inches – no trimming, no custom framing, no waiting. It is ideal for:

• Watercolour and gouache paintings
• Pencil, charcoal and ink drawings
• Pastel and coloured pencil artwork
• Art class, college and school coursework
• Illustrations and lettering pieces

Show Off Your Handmade Crafts

A photo frame 12×9 inches is also a great home for flat handmade pieces:

• Cross-stitch and embroidery: Remove the piece from its hoop, press it flat and mount it on card
• Pressed flowers: Arrange dried flowers and leaves on card for a botanical display
• Paper crafts: Collage, papercuts, origami pieces and calligraphy
• Children’s crafts: Drawings, finger paintings and school projects

Tip: For fabric and pressed flowers, mount the piece on a 12 x 9 inch sheet of acid-free card first. This keeps it flat and centred, and protects it over time. Very thick or padded pieces may not fit – the frame has an 8mm rebate.

Build Your Own Art Gallery

Hang a series of matching frames to create a personal gallery of your work – a row along a hallway, a grid in a studio or a staircase display that grows with every new piece. Because the back opens easily, you can rotate your artwork whenever you finish something new. Each photo frame 12×9 inches has hanging hooks on the back and can be hung in portrait or landscape.

Great for Photos Too

The 12×9 shape is also the 4:3 shape used by most smartphone cameras, so phone photos print at 12 x 9 inches with little or no cropping. Need a larger frame in the same shape? See our Picture Frame 16×12 inches.

Quality Construction

Every photo frame 12×9 inches is crafted from sturdy MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) with a 30mm moulding and 15mm depth, giving artwork a clean, gallery-style border. The HD Plexiglass front is crystal-clear and shatter-resistant – lighter and safer than glass, and it protects your work from dust, smudges and fingerprints.

Four Finishes

• Black – wood grain finish that makes colourful paintings pop
• White – plain finish for a bright, gallery-wall look
• Oak – wood grain finish that complements botanical art and pressed flowers
• Rustic – wood grain finish that suits cross-stitch and vintage crafts

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a page from my 9×12 sketchbook fit?
Yes. Pages from 9 x 12 inch pads fit our photo frame 12×9 inches. If your page has a perforated edge, trim it neatly first.

Will an A4 print fit?
An A4 sheet (21 x 29.7 cm) is slightly smaller, so it fits with a small gap around the edges.

Can I frame cross-stitch?
Yes, if it is flat. Remove it from the hoop, press it and mount it on card before framing.
