Whether you’re framing a snapshot, an original artwork, or a postcard-sized print, a 4×6 frame offers exceptional versatility. At Frame Amo, our Austin, Texas studio crafts premium solid-wood frames with shatter-resistant tempered glass and archival double matting — all built to help Central Texas photographers and artists display their work beautifully.
Option 1: True 4×6 Frame (No Mat)
Displays: Full 4×6 photo
Visible Area: Approx. 3.5 × 5.5 in (overlap)
Frame Size: 4×6 in
Insert your 4×6 photo directly into a true 4×6 frame for edge-to-edge display. This clean, minimal style is perfect for snapshots or postcards that don’t require a mat — a favorite among local Austin photographers for everyday prints.
Option 2: 8×10 Frame with 4×6 Mat Opening
Displays: 4×6 artwork
Mat Opening: 3.5 × 5.5 in
Frame Size: 8×10 in
For a gallery-style presentation, use an 8×10 frame with a 4×6 mat. The wider border creates elegant white space that draws the eye directly to your image — ideal for weddings, portraits, and fine-art prints displayed in homes and studios across Austin and Central Texas.
