What size is a 13 x 18 cm frame?
In the UK, it holds a 13 × 18 cm picture. The outside is bigger by the moulding width, for example about 20 × 25 cm with a 35 mm moulding.
Will a 7x5 inch photo fit a 13 x 18 cm frame?
Yes. A 7x5 photo is 12.7 × 17.8 cm, a couple of millimetres smaller, and the frame's lip covers the difference.
What fits in a 13 x 18 cm frame?
A 13 × 18 cm picture or a 7x5 photo. With a mount, smaller pictures also work: a 6x4 photo (about 1.4 cm border all round) or an A6 print (about 1.3 cm at the sides and 1.6 cm top and bottom).
