Picture Framing Software FAQ

What is SimulArt?

SimulArt is cloud-based custom picture framing software for frame shops, galleries, art professionals and photographers. It lets you upload artwork, design frames with mats and mouldings, calculate prices, preview the finished piece in 3D, and turn designs into orders and quotes, all from a web browser.

Who is SimulArt for?

Independent and multi-location custom framing shops, art galleries, print studios and photographers who want to price and present framing jobs in-store, or sell custom framing online through their own website, Shopify or WooCommerce store.

How does the custom framing price calculator work?

You price mats and mouldings using your costs and markups or your own price tables, then add components like glazing, backing, printing and mounting. SimulArt calculates the price of every design instantly and generates PDF orders and quotes you can print or email.

Which moulding and mat vendors are included?

Over 40,000 mats and mouldings can be installed in one click, including Larson-Juhl, AMCI, Antons, Centrado, Decor, DJ Simons, Eurobaguettes, Fotiou, International, Lion, Michelangelo, Nielsen, Nurre Caxton, Omega, Roma, Studio, Universal Arquati, Wessex, Artique, Bainbridge, ColourMount, Crescent and Peterboro. You can also import your own items individually or in batches.

Can I show customers a 3D preview of their frame?

Yes. The 3D frame designer shows canvas wraps, floater frames, shadow boxes and matted frames with real moulding and mat textures, so customers can see exactly how the finished piece will look before ordering.

Does SimulArt integrate with Shopify and WooCommerce?

Yes. You can add the SimulArt design tool to a Shopify or WooCommerce store, or to any website, and accept payments with Stripe or PayPal. A picture framing API is also available for custom integrations.

Can I cut mats with a computerized mat cutter?

Yes. Design single, double or triple mats with up to 36 openings and export DXF files to import into your computerized mat cutter software.

How much does SimulArt cost?

Plans start at $32.95 USD per month for small businesses, with medium and large business plans and options for customer access and 3D visualization. All plans include free email support, and you can cancel or change your plan anytime.
