Hook drop already accounted for. This measurement is where you place the hook — not the top of the frame. Measure from the floor, not the skirting board.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. 1

    Measure your frame

    Get frame dimensions and hook drop (the distance from the frame top to the hanging point). See our Hook Drop Guide if you need help.

  2. 2

    Enter measurements

    Input frame size, hook drop, and desired hanging height. The default is 57 inches (1450mm) — standard eye level.

  3. 3

    Choose your mode

    Single frame, horizontal row, or grid layout. Each mode calculates nail positions tailored to that arrangement.

  4. 4

    Read the result

    The calculator shows exactly where to place your nail/hook on the wall — measured from the floor and from the left wall.

  5. 5

    Hang your frame

    Measure up from the floor with a tape measure, mark the nail position, and hang with confidence.
