WHAT IS THE MAT CALCULATOR:
The Mat Calculator is a simple app that allows users to determine the missing information within their framing project. When I worked in a frame shop I found out that this simple calculation is often difficult for people to perform. When not performed correctly then it can lead to costly mistakes of needing to scrap incorrectly cut mats or the appearance of the mat is incorrect.
With the low one-time cost of this app, even if it saves you from scrapping one mat then its already paid for itself. There are no In-App Purchases or subscriptions to sign up for. Our hope is that DIY framers will be able to use the matting calculator for all projects both big and small.
HOW DOES IT WORK:
The Mat Calculator works off of the principle that custom framers will start with a known image, mat, or frame. Then they need to size the unknown items to make the frame work. With this in mind then there are 3 calculation modes:
MAT CALCULATION: This mode allows for the user to enter in their frame size, and picture size and let the calculator determine the boarders needed to complete the frame. In this calculation there is an option to specify the bottom mat boarder to be wider, which is common in many frame styles. This is the most common calculation needed.
IMAGE CALCULATION: This mode allows for the user to calculate what size to print an image when they have an existing frame. The user will be prompted to enter the frame size and the desired mat boarders, then the calculator will specify the image size needed for the framing project to work.
FRAME CALCULATION: This mode allows the user to calculate the frame size. The user will specify the image size and what mat boarders to use, then the calculator will determine the custom frame size needed to make the project work.
All calculations end with the option to preview your mat. Helps users to see if the mat proportions look good. Previews are free of watermarks and can have screenshots taken for later use or sharing.
Many customers say that these are easy calculations and can be done by hand. Yes, that is true. It can also be said that all math can be done by hand, but we use calculators everyday to make our life easier. This app is no exception. We are trying to make your life easier and reduce your mistakes.
WHO IS THIS APP FOR:
This app is targeted towards galleries, frame shops, and DIY framers. If you are wanting to frame any crafts, fine art, child’s art, needle point, cross-stitch, polaroid, drawing, quilt square, photographs, watercolors, posters, and any other image or picture you love. Then this app will help you accomplish that framing project with success so you can display it on your wall with pride.
There are many companies that sell mat cutters: Fiskers, Logan, and more. These along with mat cutters users will need to buy supplies and these can be found from many craft stores including: Michaels, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn’s, Dick Blick’s, local art gallery, FramesUSA.com, MatShop.com, and more.

And don’t get this very simple yet clumsy app. Easier to use paper and pencil. It can’t do anything that you can’t do…and faster. Would be great if there were more frames plus accommodation for double and triple matting. OK, if you are hopeless with math, this will help. Otherwise…fergitaboutit.

WORST APP IN THE HISTORY OF APPS!!

Im an amateur photographer and new to mat framing, using a Logan mat cutter, this app is almost essential for me. Well worth the purchase!

Great Reference Tool

I've used this app many times and it never fails to get the job done. I find it easy to use and takes the guess work out of marking the opening for your mat.

Worked great!!!

I’ve had this app on my phone for maybe 3 years now (at least), because being a DIY’er I knew I’d need it eventually, and since it’s been 20 years since I worked in the framing dept at Michaels I basically forgot everything I learned, haha! Anyway, cut some mats last night and this app calculated the perfect dimension. Great app, can’t wait to cut more mats!

Don’t waste your time

This app is not only useless but has a terrible, outdated UI. It does not support more than one cut-out in its calculations, which seems to be a pretty standard use-case for a “Mat Calculator”. Did absolutely nothing for me, better off with pencil and paper until these developers try a little harder.

App has now been updated to work under iOS 11. If you cut your own mats or do framing, this is a handy app to have. Not only has it saved me from making stupid math errors, but it allows saving mat cutting data for future reference.

Updated App ROCKS!!!!!👍

It had been awhile since I used this app and to be honest with you I thought it sucked back then. NOW, since this app has been updated I find it even more useful. I love the additional features such as the Mat Board Optimizer and Proportional Scale. Awesome! When matting a photo or project, you need to know what you want to achieve and then this app will help you conceive and plan your matting and framing requirements. It would help if you are already familiar with how to perform mat cutting but not necessary if you can perform some basic critical thinking and aren't an of entitled spoon feed me or read my mind kinda person. I love the app now and it is even better with the ability to load a picture from my photo album or even take a pic on the fly to visualize the mat. Heck you can even change the mat color too. Thanks again for the update!
