Picture Hanging & Frame Spacing Calculator

How to measure

1. For one frame, enter its outer height and your chosen center height from the floor. The editable 145 cm start is a preference, not a universal eye-level rule.
2. For a row, measure the wall section and identical outer frame widths. Choose equal gaps including both ends, or choose a gap between frames and center the group.
3. Above furniture, measure the furniture top from the same floor reference, choose your clearance, and add the frame height. Use the optional top-to-support drop only after measuring your actual hardware.

What the calculator shows

• Single-frame bottom, center and top heights, with an optional centered support point.
• Left, centerline and right positions for up to 20 equal-width frames in a row.
• Above-furniture position from a chosen clearance and the furniture top height.
• Switch between centimeters and decimal inches without changing the underlying measurements.

Common uses

• Center a picture on a chosen vertical line without guessing a wall width.
• Arrange three identical frames across a measured section with equal end spaces.
• Find a frame bottom above a sofa or cabinet using your own chosen clearance.

Measurement guide and limits

Outer frame dimensions include the border. Horizontal row coordinates start at the left edge of the measured wall section; vertical heights share one floor reference.

Equal gaps divides unused wall width into N+1 spaces. A chosen between-frame gap instead centers the full group, leaving equal end margins.

A blank hanger drop means unknown; an explicit zero places the support at the top edge. The drop is measured from the top to the actual contact point when the frame is hanging.

The support point is not a nail or screw hole. Hardware geometry, wire sag, multiple hooks, wall obstacles and ceiling clearance are not calculated. Verify the wall and follow manufacturer instructions.

Calculations stay in your browser. Normal site services can still make requests; your measurements are not sent by this calculator.

Displayed values may be rounded, but layout feasibility uses unrounded numbers. Verify all marks against the actual frame and wall before fixing anything.
