Polaroid pictures come in various sizes, depending on the film type used. Here are some common sizes for Polaroid pictures:
- Mini Polaroids : These are about 2" x 3 1/2" in size, including the white border
- Original Polaroids : The original Polaroid picture measures approximately 5.25" x 6.35"
- Standard Polaroids : Standard Polaroids, which are commonly used with Instax film, measure around 2.4" x 3.9"
When framing a Polaroid picture, consider the following:
- Border Space : Polaroids have a classic white border that you may prefer to show. If you want to showcase it, select framing options with enough space to accommodate the border without cropping it. If you don't want to show the border, you can cover it with matting
- Matting : The colors in Polaroid pictures can be a bit muted, so finding the perfect color matboard can be tough. Don't worry, though, as the experts at Frame it Easy or FastFrame can help you choose the right matboard for your Polaroid picture
If you're aiming to recreate the classic look of Polaroid pictures in a digital format, the dimensions for the photo itself are 3.0625 x 3.125 inches, while the iconic frame that gives Polaroids their distinctive style measures 3.4 x 4.2 inches
