Custom Collage Frames, Matboards and Shadow Box Frames Online
The Frameshop Collage Creator is an online design tool for creating a custom collage matboard or custom collage frame. Use it to plan multiple photo openings, choose the overall matboard size, select mat colours, add an optional double mat, and decide whether you want photo printing included.
You can order the design as a collage matboard only, continue to frame it online, or use the layout as part of a custom shadow box frame. It is designed for personal photo displays, family photo collages, sports and school memories, awards, memorabilia, milestone gifts and any project that needs more than one opening in a single mat.
What You Can Design
- Custom collage frames with multiple photo openings.
- Custom collage matboards that can be ordered without a frame.
- Custom shadow box frame layouts for deeper framing projects.
- Single or double mat designs with your chosen matboard colours.
- Layouts with optional photo printing and fitting by Frameshop.
How To Use The Tool
- Select a shape category and choose the opening style you want.
- Enter the exact opening size, then add openings to the matboard.
- Drag openings into position and adjust the overall matboard size.
- Choose whether you need photo printing, then select your mat colours.
- Add the collage mat to cart, or continue to choose a frame.
Useful Features
- Gridlines help line up openings while designing.
- Matboard pricing updates as you build the layout.
- Photo upload and crop tools help fit images into each opening.
- The final price covers the collage mat selections made so far, excluding framing.
- A plaque designer link is available if your collage needs a custom plaque.
Design Notes
The on-screen preview is a design guide. If your openings are not perfectly aligned in the browser, Frameshop will tidy the layout before production. You can also add special instructions in the order comments during checkout.
This older design tool does not save your layout after you leave the page, so check the matboard size, opening positions, colours, printing choice and final pathway before clicking Add a frame or Add to cart.
