Panoramic Photo Frame 8.5×11 inches

Downloaded a printable you love, or received a certificate from overseas? Our photo frame 8.5×11 inches is sized exactly for US Letter paper (8.5 x 11 inches, or 21.6 x 27.9 cm). It stands on a desk or hangs on the wall, and comes in Black, White, Oak and Rustic.

Photo Frame 8.5×11 Inches – The US Letter Size

While the UK and Europe use A4, the USA and Canada use Letter paper – 8.5 x 11 inches. Many documents, printables and certificates are created at this size, so a photo frame 8.5×11 inches ensures they fit perfectly, without gaps or trimming.

• Certificates from US and Canadian schools, universities and employers
• Online course and training certificates printed in Letter size
• American and Canadian family documents and keepsakes
• Letters, menus and programmes printed in the US

Perfect for Downloadable Printables

Printable wall art has become hugely popular – you buy a digital file, print it at home or at a print shop, and frame it. Many printable art shops offer their designs in 8.5 x 11 inch Letter size, which makes a photo frame 8.5×11 inches ideal for:

• Typography, quotes and inspirational prints
• Nursery and children’s room printables
• Botanical, abstract and minimalist art
• Planners, calendars and wall charts
• Kitchen, bathroom and home office prints

Tip: When printing at home, set your printer to “Letter” paper size (not A4) and choose “Actual size” or “100%” so your design fills the frame exactly.

8.5 x 11 Inches vs A4 – What’s the Difference?

The two sizes look similar but are not the same. US Letter is slightly wider and shorter than A4:

• US Letter: 21.6 x 27.9 cm (8.5 x 11 inches)
• A4: 21 x 29.7 cm (8.3 x 11.7 inches)

An A4 sheet is too tall for a photo frame 8.5×11 inches without trimming, and a Letter sheet is too wide for an A4 frame. If your document is A4, choose our Photo Frame A4 instead.

Stand It or Hang It

Every photo frame 8.5×11 inches comes with a table top support and hanging hooks on the back. Stand it on a desk, bookshelf, reception counter or mantelpiece, or hang it on the wall – in portrait for most documents, or landscape for wider prints.

Built to Last

Your photo frame 8.5×11 inches is crafted from sturdy MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) with a 30mm moulding and 15mm depth, giving every document a smart, professional border. The HD Plexiglass front is crystal-clear and shatter-resistant – lighter and safer than glass, ideal for offices, nurseries and family homes.

Four Finishes

• Black – wood grain finish, classic and professional for certificates
• White – plain finish that suits minimalist printables and nurseries
• Oak – wood grain finish that brings warmth to home offices
• Rustic – wood grain finish with a cosy, farmhouse feel
