Lay out picture frames by the hook locations you actually need

Hanging a group of frames is more than dividing a wall into equal spaces. Frame widths, heights, gaps, hanger positions, and the desired visual center all affect where each hook belongs. MeasureMarks calculates the actual X/Y hook coordinates rather than stopping at frame spacing.

Uniform and mixed-frame layouts

Use uniform mode when every frame is the same size. Use custom mode for arrangements such as a larger center frame with smaller frames on each side. Each custom frame can have its own width, height, and hook offset from the top of the frame.

Example: Three frames can use 16×20-inch pieces on the sides and a 24×30-inch frame in the middle while maintaining a 4-inch visible gap. The blueprint shows the actual frame proportions and the hook coordinates from the left wall and floor.

Measure the hardware, not just the frame

What is hook offset?

It is the vertical distance from the top edge of the frame down to the point that actually hangs on the wall.

Can different frame sizes share one center height?

Yes. That is often the cleanest gallery arrangement, and the calculator automatically changes each hook height to preserve it.
