Handcrafted in the UK
12" x 12" Picture Frames
In the UK, these frames hold square artwork measuring 30 × 30cm. In the US, the same frame is sold as 12 x 12 inch, holding a 30.5 × 30.5cm picture. Perfect for square art prints, album-cover artwork and photography, and a striking unit for symmetrical grids.
Framing an actual record sleeve? Sleeves measure around 31.4cm, too big for this frame, so a made to measure frame is the best fit. For other squares, see 25 × 25cm (10×10in) and 40 × 40cm (16×16in); for a rectangular option, 30 × 40cm (12×16in). Square prints pop in black and neon frames.
All our frames are handmade to order by Guild Certified Framers and finished with gallery-grade, shatterproof acrylic with UV protection. Explore 100+ finishes in all picture frames.

What size is a 30 x 30 cm frame?
In the UK, it holds a 30 × 30 cm picture. The outside is bigger by the moulding width, for example about 37 × 37 cm with a 35 mm moulding.
Is 30 x 30 cm the same as 12 x 12 inches?
Nearly, but not exactly. 12 x 12 inches is 30.5 × 30.5 cm, a few millimetres bigger. In the UK we make this frame at 30 × 30 cm, and in the US at 12 x 12 inches. If your print is in exact inches, measure it, and choose made to measure if it's larger than 30 × 30 cm.
Will a vinyl record sleeve fit?
No. A 12 inch record sleeve is about 31.4 cm square, so it needs a made to measure frame.
