Puzzle Frame Size Finder

Measure your finished puzzle, enter the dimensions, and this finds the smallest standard frame that fits it — plus how much bare backing will show.

Measure the assembled puzzle, not the box. Box dimensions are approximate and vary by print run. A frame that is slightly too big is fixable; one that is too small is not.

Typical assembled puzzle sizes

Piece count does not determine finished size — brands cut to different standards, and two 1000-piece puzzles can differ by inches. Treat these as a starting point and measure before you buy anything.
