Wall Frame Spacing
Enter the wall, the frames and the gaps you want. The tool gives each frame’s position, where to put the hooks, and the space left around the group.
Work out the layout
Everything is worked out on this device. Nothing you enter is saved or sent. Measurements are taken from the left edge of the wall and from the floor.
Example
Two frames of 40 × 50 cm with an 8 cm gap, centered on a 300 × 250 cm wall with the middle of the group at 145 cm, sit 106 cm from each side. The hooks go 126 cm and 174 cm from the left, 165 cm above the floor. Press “Load an example” to try it.
How it works
The wall is a flat rectangle seen from the front. The frames are placed in a row or a grid around the middle point you choose, and the tool works out each frame’s edges, the hook position, and the margins to the wall and to any furniture below.
It is a reference only. It does not check the wall material, whether you can drill, or the weight of the frames.
Frequently asked questions
How high should I hang pictures?
A common habit is to put the middle of the picture or group about 57 in (145 cm) above the floor. It is only a starting point; hang lower over furniture and adjust to your room. The tool lets you set any middle height.
How far apart should frames be?
A gap of a few centimeters to about 8 cm (about 3 in) is common, and keeping the gaps even looks tidy. Enter the sideways and vertical gaps you prefer and the tool lays the group out around them.
Where do the hooks go?
The tool assumes the hanger is in the middle of each frame, a set distance below the top edge. Measure the real hanger on the back, and try the layout first with paper templates or masking tape before you put in any nails.

- The calculation is the same as on the Korean version of this tool. The 145 cm middle height is a common gallery habit used as a site default, not a rule.
