Paper Photo Frames

What is a paper frame?
A textured paper background with one or more openings that your photos sit inside, so the picture reads as though it has been placed in a real frame. It gives a post a quiet, handmade character.

What can you design?

  • Frames with a single opening or several

  • Paper backgrounds in different textures and colours

  • Frames with Arabic ornament around the photo

  • Several photos collected inside one frame

  • Square post and story sizes

Can you write on the frame?
Yes. Add a title, a date or a name in an Arabic font on the paper around the photo. Export at high quality for posting or for print.

الأسئلة الشائعة

When should I put a frame around an image?
When the photograph is busy at its edges, since the frame contains it; when you are gathering several images, since it unifies them; and when you want a heritage or nostalgic character. Do not frame a simple clean image, where it adds noise for nothing, and keep the frame's thickness even on all four sides. Andalusi has paper and ornamental frames ready.
Which frame types exist and where do they suit?
A simple white frame suits any image and reads like a polaroid; a torn-paper frame suits a nostalgic character and collage; an ornamental frame suits Islamic cards and occasions; and a fine gold one suits luxury invitations. Use one type per design. Andalusi's library carries them all.
How thick should a frame be?
A tenth to a sixth of the image's width in most cases; too thin and it goes unseen, too thick and it swallows the picture. Make the bottom margin slightly deeper than the other three if you will write a caption or date beneath, and keep text off the frame itself. Andalusi sets those proportions in its frame templates.
Where are frames used besides around photographs?
Around the text on a greeting card, around a quotation in a post, as a border on a menu, around a certificate, and as the border of a print. A frame around text makes the words look deliberate rather than incidental. Use the same frame across all of one occasion's designs. Andalusi has frames suited to both text and image.
