The 22x28" frame is a popular large-format option for posters, commercial prints, and statement wall art. It offers a sleek balance — large enough to be a focal point without overwhelming a space. Whether you’re displaying a true 22x28 print or matting it for an 18x24 piece, this guide covers every setup, including larger frames that accept a 22x28 mat.
