Framed Art Prints Made from Your Photos
Framed art prints from Shutterfly turn your favorite photos into ready-to-hang wall pieces with a clean, modern finish. Unlike traditional framed prints with glass, these are printed on premium matte cardstock and displayed without a cover—giving your images a soft, glare-free look that feels more like printed artwork than a standard photo frame.
Each piece is designed to highlight your photo with sharp detail, true-to-life color, and a smooth matte surface that reduces reflections in bright spaces. Whether you’re showcasing a single image or creating a designed layout, framed art prints offer a polished way to display your memories.
Matte Cardstock Photo Prints with Glare-Free Framing
These framed art prints are built around high-quality photo printing, not mass-produced artwork. Your image is printed on FSC®-certified signature cardstock with a smooth, matte finish that enhances detail while keeping the overall look soft and natural.
The frame is intentionally designed without glass or acrylic, which:
- Eliminates glare from windows and lighting
- Keeps the focus on the print itself
- Creates a lightweight, modern wall display
Each frame includes:
- A kraft paper backing
- Built-in wire hanger for easy display
- A clean, minimal profile in black or rustic finishes
Framed Photo Print Sizes for Every Space
Choosing the right size is one of the most important parts of creating framed wall art. Shutterfly framed art prints are available in popular photo print sizes, making it easy to match your space or existing decor.
Available sizes include:
- 5x7 – Fits smaller spaces like desks, shelves, or nightstands
- 8x10 – Ideal for portraits and single-subject photos without heavy cropping
- 11x14 – Gives group photos or detailed shots more room to breathe
- 12x12 – Designed for square photos and layouts without awkward cropping
- 16x20 – Best for large-scale display where you want one photo to stand out
These standard sizes also make it easier to design gallery walls or pair multiple prints together without guesswork.
Customize Your Framed Art Prints with Layouts and Designs
Framed art prints aren’t limited to a single photo. You can choose from a wide range of templates to create a layout that fits your style or occasion.
Customization options include:
- Single-photo prints for a clean, minimal look
- Collage layouts to combine multiple memories
- Text designs for names, dates, or captions
- Themed templates for occasions like weddings, graduations, and family milestones
This flexibility makes it easy to create something that feels intentional—not just a photo in a frame, but a designed piece of wall art.
When to Choose Framed Art Prints vs. Framed Photo Prints
If you’re deciding between framed art prints and traditional framed prints, the main difference comes down to finish and display style.
- Framed art prints: Matte cardstock, no glass, glare-free, softer and more modern
- Framed photo prints: Glossy photo paper, acrylic cover, more traditional look
Framed art prints are a great choice for bright rooms, gallery walls, or spaces where you want a more natural, low-reflection finish.
