Wall fit calculator: how wide is a print compared with your wall?
Enter your wall width and the share of it you want the art to take. The calculator turns that into a width in inches and cm and lists the five largest listed framed canvas sizes whose longer side fits. For example, 50% of a 72 inch wall is 36 inches, and a 24 x 36 inch piece hung landscape is exactly that wide.
Drawn to scale: a 36 inch wide piece on a 72 inch wall.
How wide each listed size is, as a share of the wall
For each listed framed canvas size, the longer side across the wall (hung landscape) as a percentage of the wall width. Hung portrait, use the shorter side: the CSV below has both.

The arithmetic
- Measure the wall width in inches (cm divided by 2.54).
- Multiply by the share you want, for example 50% = 0.5.
- Compare with the longer side of each size, or use several pieces: see gallery wall spacing.
Which share looks right is your choice; this page only does the arithmetic. For a chart by wall width with prices, see what size canvas for your wall.
