Artworks, images and frames

Paintings, prints and rugs: upload, real dimensions, cutouts and frames.

Current software · WordPress 0.5.0 · Updated 7 October 2026

Upload and describe an artwork

  1. Choose Painting, Photo/print or Rug and upload PNG, JPEG or WebP. Transparency works with PNG/WebP.
  2. Enter the actual width, height/length and depth; pixels are not physical measurements. Default thickness is about 5 cm for paintings, 0.3 cm for prints and 1 cm for rugs.
  3. Add title, description, artist, year, material and optional installation/care information. Product links must be HTTP/HTTPS and appear publicly only when the plan permits.
  4. Place the object and check both its face and side view.

Frames and transparent cutouts

New paintings and prints have no added frame. If the uploaded photograph already includes a frame, leave Frame off. For an extra frame, choose its style, colour and width. In Image workshop, remove a connected background colour with tolerance, trace a polygon, or use erase/restore brushes and Undo. The edited image is saved separately; there is no AI reconstruction. Side depth follows the visible alpha silhouette, not hidden carved ornament.

Hanging and floor rugs

Choose wall or floor placement. For a wall rug, the hanging height is the top edge measured from the floor. Its full length is preserved; excess length bends onto the floor when it extends below the hanging point. Give it enough unobstructed floor space. The shape is calculated geometry, not a live cloth simulation.

Image quality and originals

Browser uploads retain the original privately and prepare a proportional WebP texture up to 4096 px on the longest side plus a 512 px preview. Images are never enlarged to invent detail. The source limit is 40 megapixels and the complete upload package must fit within 40 MiB. A large high-quality original may need proportional resizing before upload to satisfy these limits. Display quality also depends on Graphics settings and distance.
