What Fits in a 16x20 Picture Frame?
Use a 16x20 frame for a 16x20 print without a mat, or pair it with a separately purchased mat to display smaller artwork. If the artwork itself measures 16x20 and you want a visible mat border, choose a larger frame and a mat with a 16x20 opening.
| Artwork size | Mat choice | Recommended frame |
|---|---|---|
| 16x20 | No mat | 16x20 frame |
| 11x14 | 16x20 outer-size mat with an opening for 11x14 artwork | 16x20 frame |
| 12x16 | 16x20 outer-size mat with an opening for 12x16 artwork | 16x20 frame |
| 16x20 with a visible mat border | Larger outer-size mat with an opening for 16x20 artwork | A larger frame, such as 20x24, depending on the desired border |
Please note: Mats and artwork are not included with the frame. Mat openings are normally cut slightly smaller than the stated artwork size so the edges hold the artwork securely. Shop compatible mats.
Choose a Style That Complements Your Space
A narrow or clean-lined 16x20 wall frame works well with contemporary photography, posters and minimalist decor. Wider moldings create a more substantial presentation for artwork and statement walls, while ornate gold and silver profiles complement traditional, vintage and formal interiors. Review each product's molding width, finish choices and specifications before ordering.
How to Choose the Right Molding Width
Molding width changes both the appearance and the finished outside dimensions of a 16x20 wall frame. Narrow profiles create a clean, understated look for posters, photography and modern interiors. Medium-width moldings offer a versatile presentation for everyday artwork, offices and gallery walls. Wide and ornate profiles create greater visual impact for formal artwork, traditional rooms and statement displays. Because the exterior measurement varies by design, review the molding width on each product page when planning a gallery wall or fitting the frame into a specific space.
Made for Photos, Posters, Prints and Artwork
Choose a 16x20 photo frame for portraits, family photographs and professional prints; a clean modern profile for posters and graphic art; or a decorative gold, silver or wood-look frame for artwork and wall decor. Some models can also accommodate canvas or thicker artwork, but allowable depth varies. Always confirm the individual product specifications before ordering a frame for canvas.

16x20 Picture Frame FAQs
Is 16x20 a standard frame size?
Yes. Sixteen by twenty inches is a widely used standard frame size for photos, posters, prints, artwork, certificates and wall decor.
How big is a 16x20 frame?
A 16x20 frame is designed to hold artwork measuring 16 inches by 20 inches. Its outside dimensions are larger because the molding surrounds the artwork; the exact finished size depends on the molding width.
What size frame do I need for a 16x20 print?
Choose a 16x20 frame when displaying a 16x20 print without a mat. If you want a visible mat border around a 16x20 print, select a larger frame and a compatible mat with an opening sized for the print.
Does a 16x20 frame include a mat?
No. Mats are sold separately, allowing you to choose an opening that fits your artwork. A 16x20 outer-size mat can be paired with a 16x20 frame to display smaller artwork, such as an 11x14 or 12x16 print.
Can a 16x20 picture frame hang vertically or horizontally?
Most of our 16x20 frames include hanging hardware suitable for portrait or landscape display. Confirm the hardware and orientation information on the individual product page before ordering.
What is included with the frame?
Our standard assembled picture frames include clear protective glazing, backing and hanging hardware. Mats and artwork are sold separately. Review the individual product page for model-specific materials and specifications.
Can a 16x20 frame hold canvas?
Some 16x20 frames can accommodate canvas or thicker artwork, but the available depth varies by model. Check the rabbet depth and product specifications before ordering; canvas floater frames remain a separate product type.
Which 16x20 frame style should I choose?
Choose a narrow or modern profile for posters and contemporary photography, a medium-width profile for versatile everyday framing, or a wide ornate design for traditional artwork and a more substantial statement.
