Gallery wall planner

Arrange frames to scale and export a hanging guide with exact nail positions measured from the wall’s top-left corner.

Step by step

How to use it

  1. 01

    01Start with the real dimensions

    Measure the wall area and enter its width and height in millimetres. Add frames and set each frame’s outside dimensions. Use meaningful names so the hanging guide can identify the correct print or photograph.

  2. 02

    02Edit and inspect

    Drag the frames into a balanced arrangement and use the exact coordinate controls for even spacing. Set the hanger distance below each frame’s top edge. The red marker shows the assumed single hanger position.

  3. 03

    03Export and verify

    Review overlaps and out-of-wall warnings. Export the nail-coordinate CSV and save the editable project. Measure from the same top-left reference point on the real wall rather than using the scaled PDF as a drilling template.

Why this one

What this tool does differently

Frame size is the outside size

The gallery planner positions complete frame footprints, including their borders. Artwork dimensions alone underestimate the space used by a framed print. Measure the outer edge before planning an arrangement with narrow gaps.

Hangers change the nail position

The nail’s horizontal coordinate is the frame center and its vertical coordinate is the frame top plus the hanger offset. Wire slack, sawtooth hangers, and offset hardware change that offset; measure the actual installed hardware.

A transferable reference

Every hanging coordinate uses the wall’s top-left corner. Using one origin avoids cumulative errors from measuring each frame from the previous frame. The current model assumes one centered hanger, so dual-hook frames require a separate hardware calculation.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

Can I get exact nail locations?

The gallery wall planner exports a hanging-guide CSV with each frame’s nail X and Y in millimetres from the wall’s top-left corner.

Does the gallery planner support picture wire?

The gallery wall planner accepts a measured hanger offset. For picture wire, measure the loaded wire position rather than the loose wire position.

Can I plan frames of different sizes?

The gallery wall planner gives every frame its own outside width, height, position, and hanger offset.

Can I print a full-size drilling template?

The gallery wall planner PDF is a scaled reference. Use the nail-coordinate CSV and physical measurements instead of drilling through the printout.
