--- title: "Photo framing and canvas prints in Bengaluru: what a frame costs by size, and how to make it last" description: "What it costs to frame a photo in Bengaluru, from about ₹326 for a ready-made frame and a print you buy separately to ₹1,100 to ₹1,300 for a 12x18 and ₹3,800 for a 24x36, glass or acrylic, canvas or frame, how to stop fungus in the monsoon, and how to frame a jersey, a puzzle or a certificate." canonical: https://mytribe.in/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru last_updated: 2026-10-23 --- # Getting a photo framed in Bengaluru We read the price lists that Bengaluru photo studios, print shops and online print sellers publish, what conservation bodies in Canada and the US say keeps a photo safe behind glass, and five requests people in Bengaluru sent us for a frame. This guide answers what a frame costs at each size, which glass and mount to ask for, and how to keep it from going spotty in the monsoon. Updated 23 Oct 2026 Every price is a business's own published price, read 23 October 2026, and each business is named under Sources. Offer prices are marked, with the regular price beside them. A figure marked as our sum or our estimate is worked out by mytribe. Check every price when you order. ## Q1. How much does it cost to frame a photo in Bengaluru? **A 12x18 photo, printed and framed, costs about ₹1,100 to ₹1,300 at a photo studio or a print shop, and a 24x36 about ₹3,800 at one studio. The cheapest way is to buy a ready-made A4 frame and order an A4 print for it: about ₹326 for the two, plus getting the frame home.** The frame shop on your road doesn't publish prices, so ask and compare. - **A store's ready-made frame, with a print ordered to fit:** About ₹326. Three separate buys, our sum: an A4 print online from ₹132, ₹75 shipping on an order under ₹300, and a ₹119 A4 (21x30 cm) frame from a furniture store. Getting the frame home is extra. ![An illustration of a plain black ready-made frame with a white mat and a small landscape print, beside the plain cardboard sleeve it came in](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/tier-readymade-61874ae0f0.jpg) Picture: Illustration by mytribe. - **A 12x18 at a photo studio near you:** ₹1,100. Glass frame with the print, at one Vijayanagar studio. You carry it home: it doesn't deliver glass. ![An illustration of a 12x18 landscape print behind glass in a plain brown frame on a shop counter, with brown wrapping paper and a cloth bag to carry it home](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/tier-studio-glass-f14cf3f032.jpg) Picture: Illustration by mytribe. - **A 12x18 at a print shop with Bengaluru stores:** ₹1,250. Clear acrylic front, the print and a wall hook. Same day if you order before 4:30 pm. ![An illustration of a 12x18 landscape print in a slim black frame with an acrylic front, and below it the frame's back board with a small hanging hook](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/tier-acrylic-hook-965fda9ed8.jpg) Picture: Illustration by mytribe. - **A 24x36 canvas:** ₹2,981 with a code.

Glass frame with the print at the same studio. ![An illustration of a 24x36 framed landscape print over a 6 ft beige sofa, drawn to scale](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/24x36-70f12c2141.jpg) Picture: Illustration by mytribe. - **A custom frame: your moulding, mount and glass:** Ask for the price. The custom framer we read doesn't publish one. Question 2 has what to ask. ![An illustration of a framing shop wall with rows of moulding corner samples in wood, gold and black, and mount board and glass samples on the counter below](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/custom-samples-4c1935ed6a.jpg) Picture: Illustration by mytribe. | Size | Photo studio, glass | Print shop, acrylic | Online, offer price | |---|---|---|---| | 8x12 | ₹550 | Not listed | ₹684, may not include the print | | 12x18 | ₹1,100 | ₹1,250 | ₹1,276, may not include the print | | 16x20 | About ₹1,500, our estimate | Not listed | Not listed | | 18x24 | Not listed | ₹2,917 | ₹2,271, may not include the print | | 24x36 | ₹3,800 | Not listed | ₹4,181, may not include the print | Each business's own page, read 23 October 2026. The studio's and the print shop's prices include the print. The online seller's are offer prices, and its page doesn't say whether the print is in them. **The frame shop on your road** is where most people go, and it doesn't publish prices. A good one has corner samples of its frames on the wall, cuts glass at the back, and can show you a finished job. Ask the price for your size with the print, and hold it against ₹1,100 for a 12x18. **Doing it yourself, print to the frame's size.** Store frames come in centimetres and prints in inches. An A4 print fits an A4 (21x30 cm) frame, but an 8x12 inch print is 5 mm too long for it. A 12x18 inch print is 30x46 cm, so it won't go into a 30x40 cm frame. At one furniture store that frame is ₹599 on sale until 11 November (₹799 regular), and a 50x70 cm one is ₹1,490. **A canvas costs less than a frame at big sizes:** ₹1,002 for 12x16 and ₹2,981 for 24x36, each with an online offer code for one piece (₹1,669 and ₹4,969 without). Question 3 says which photos suit canvas. **16x20 isn't on any list we read.** By area, between the studio's 12x18 and 16x24, it comes to about ₹1,000 for the frame alone and about ₹1,500 with glass and the print, our estimate. Ask for 16x24 too, since a shop may round up to a stock size. **Source of this answer:** each business's own price page, read 23 October 2026. The ₹326 and the 16x20 figures are ours, worked out from those pages. - [A Vijayanagar photo studio's price list](https://www.phometo.com/photo-frames-bangalore), frame only / glass frame and print / laminated print: 8x12 ₹300 / ₹550 / ₹700; 12x18 ₹650 / ₹1,100 / ₹1,300; 16x24 ₹1,200 / ₹1,800 / ₹2,800; 20x30 ₹2,000 / ₹2,600 / ₹3,600; 24x36 ₹3,000 / ₹3,800 / ₹5,200.

What does a custom framer add, and what should the quote say? **A custom framer makes the frame to your size and lets you pick each part: the moulding, a mount, the glass and the backing.** The one we read also delivers and fits it, and publishes no price, so get the quote in writing, a line for each part, and compare two framers line by line. **A stock frame at a print shop, 12x18, ₹1,250** - A stock frame in a few styles - Clear acrylic front, the print, a hook - Same day before 4:30 pm ![An illustration of a 12x18 landscape print in a slim black frame with an acrylic front, and below it the frame's back board with a small hanging hook](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/tier-acrylic-hook-965fda9ed8.jpg) Picture: Illustration by mytribe. **A frame made to order, Ask for the price** - Your pick from 1,000+ mouldings - Plain, non-reflective or UV glass, or acrylic - A mount board and acid-free backing - Delivery and fitting at home ![An illustration of a framing shop wall with rows of moulding corner samples in wood, gold and black, and mount board and glass samples on the counter below](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/custom-samples-4c1935ed6a.jpg) Picture: Illustration by mytribe. Two different jobs, from each business's own pages, read 23 October 2026. The custom framer, on Old Madras Road, publishes no price. **Ask for the quote in writing, one line each:** - The moulding: wood, synthetic or metal, and how wide - The glass: plain, non-reflective or UV-filtering - The mount, and whether the board is acid-free - The backing, and whether the back is sealed - How it hangs, delivery and fitting - The date it's ready Then you can drop a part to bring the price down, and compare two framers line by line. **What did the framer mean?** - **Mount:** ![An illustration of one corner of a framed print: the wooden moulding, the glass, a cream mount with a bevelled edge, and the print set back so it doesn't touch the glass](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/term-mount-f96e0571ca.jpg) **A card border inside the frame, with a window cut for the picture.** It keeps the photo off the glass, which matters in damp weather. Ask whether the mount is included, and its colour. Picture: Illustration by mytribe. - **Acid-free board:** **Mount or backing card that won't turn a photo or a painting yellow over the years, as cheap card can.** Ask whether the mount and the backing are acid-free, and the price of each. - **Moulding:** ![An illustration of a framing shop wall with rows of moulding corner samples in wood, gold and black, and mount board and glass samples on the counter below](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/custom-samples-4c1935ed6a.jpg) **The strip of wood, synthetic or metal that makes the frame.** Wider and carved costs more. Ask to see corner samples at your size, with prices. Picture: Illustration by mytribe. - **UV-filtering glass:** **Glass that blocks most of the light that fades prints and marker signatures.** Plain glass lets most of it through. Ask whether they stock it, and how much more it costs than plain glass. - **Non-reflective glass:** **Glass treated to cut the shine from a window or a tube light.** It can make the picture look slightly duller. Ask to see a sample beside plain glass in the shop's light. - **Acrylic:** ![An illustration of a 12x18 landscape print in a slim black frame with an acrylic front, and below it the frame's back board with a small hanging hook](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/tier-acrylic-hook-965fda9ed8.jpg) **A clear plastic sheet in place of glass.** Light and doesn't shatter, but it scratches and pulls dust. Ask how to clean it, since a rough cloth scratches it. Picture: Illustration by mytribe. - **Box frame:** ![An illustration of a plain blue cricket jersey with a marker autograph, pinned inside a deep black box frame on a wall](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/tier-jersey-66ee6275c0.jpg) **A deep frame with space between the back and the glass,** for a jersey, a medal or anything that isn't flat. Ask how deep it is, and whether the jersey is pinned or glued.

Ask for a preview, so no head ends up on the side. Picture: Illustration by mytribe. - **Rolled canvas:** **The canvas print alone, rolled in a tube.** It still needs stretching or a frame. Ask what stretching or framing it costs before you order the cheap roll. Meanings in plain words, from the framers' and conservation bodies' pages under Sources. [Ask us what it means (WhatsApp +91 63600 04054)](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi!%20I'd%20like%20to%20get%20something%20framed%20in%20Bengaluru.%0AThe%20word%3A%20) **Source of this answer:** each business's own pages, read 23 October 2026.

Its blog lists UV glass, matboard and acid-free backing. Its page asks you to send an enquiry for the price. - [The print shop](https://printo.in/p/photo-frames-in-bangalore), as in question 1. ## Q3. Should I frame my photo or print it on canvas? Are canvas prints tacky? **Frame anything on paper. Canvas suits a big photo on a wall: no glass to catch the tube light, lighter, and at 24x36 ₹2,981 with an online offer code (₹4,969 without it) against ₹3,800 framed.** Whether canvas looks tacky depends on the photo. A soft family photo or a landscape suits it, and a group photo with small faces looks better under glass. **A 24x36 canvas, ₹2,981 with a code** - No glass, so no glare - Light, on a wooden bar - The picture wraps round the sides - ₹4,969 without the code. About a week ![An illustration of a canvas print of hills and a lake, stretched on a wooden bar with no frame, the picture wrapping round its thick side edge](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/tier-canvas-a7a54cc42e.jpg) Picture: Illustration by mytribe. **A 24x36 framed print, ₹3,800** - Glass keeps off dust and fingers - Heavier, needs a drill - The whole picture shows on the front - At a Bengaluru studio, you collect it ![An illustration of a 24x36 framed landscape print over a 6 ft beige sofa, drawn to scale](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/24x36-70f12c2141.jpg) Picture: Illustration by mytribe. An online seller's canvas price and a Bengaluru studio's frame price, each from its own page, read 23 October 2026. **On a canvas, the edge of the photo goes round the side.** If a face or a head is near the edge, it ends up folded round the bar. Ask for a preview before it prints. **Rolled canvas is cheap,** ₹679 with the code for 24x36, but it comes in a tube and still needs stretching or a frame. **An acrylic print** is the photo behind, or printed on, a thick clear sheet. It looks glossy and catches light the way glass does. We found no Bengaluru price for one at a stated size. **For a gift,** there's also a small framed piece with a message. These are from The Artsy Co., a Bengaluru gift maker on mytribe: - **A quote frame in a white frame:** Ask for the price. ![A small white frame held in a hand, with a printed silhouette of a woman's head filled with flowers and a short line of words](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a8df6d94-fdda-4016-8680-e6ed4ee7d4f3) - **A printed piece in a gold-finish frame:** Ask for the price. ![A small gold-finish frame held in a hand, with a pastel rainbow and an old radio printed inside](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f6543e55-2d37-4df7-9efd-f980cb3d164e) Small gift frames from The Artsy Co.'s own posts, 2025.

Casper Photography's is from its own site, read from a screenshot our team took on 30 September 2026. ## Q4. Should a photo frame have glass or acrylic? **Glass for most photos and certificates. Acrylic for big pieces, anything over a bed or a cot, and anything couriered: it's light and doesn't shatter, but it scratches.** Plain glass lets through most of the light that fades a print, so ask for UV-filtering glass for a sunny wall, or hang it out of the sun. | | Glass | Acrylic | No glass | |---|---|---|---| | Weight | Heavy at big sizes | Light | Lightest | | If it falls | Can shatter | Doesn't shatter | Nothing to break | | Scratches | Hardly | Easily | The picture is open | | Light that fades | Plain glass lets most through | Plain acrylic too; UV-filtering kinds exist | All of it | | Shine | Yes, unless non-reflective | Yes | None | | Best for | Photos and certificates | Big pieces, over a bed, couriered | Oil and acrylic paintings on canvas | From the Canadian Conservation Institute's note on glazing, and the businesses' own pages under Sources. **Plain glass doesn't stop fading.** Clear glass only cuts the shortest UV, and even UV-filtering glass and acrylic don't stop all of it. So a signed jersey or a photo on a sunny wall fades either way, only slower behind UV-filtering glass. **Paintings on canvas usually go without glass,** as framers do it. Oil and acrylic paint is tough enough, and glass over it can trap damp. Watercolours and drawings on paper go behind glass with a mount. **Anti-glare glass** cuts the shine from a window or a tube light but can make the picture look slightly dull. Look at a sample beside plain glass before you pay for it. **No price for UV or museum glass** appears on any Indian framer's page we read, so ask for it as its own line on the quote. **Source of this answer:** the Canadian Conservation Institute's note on glazing for works on paper and the US Library of Congress's page on framing. That paintings on canvas usually go without glass is the trade's practice; these sources don't cover it. - [Canadian Conservation Institute, glazing](https://www.canada.ca/en/conservation-institute/services/conservation-preservation-publications/canadian-conservation-institute-notes/glazing-materials-framing-works-paper.html): "Clear glass transmits over 90% of visible light and only cuts out UV below 300 nanometres"; "none of these materials filter out all of the harmful UV"; uncoated plastic is "susceptible to scratching and abrasion"; plastic "readily picks up and holds an electrostatic charge". - [Library of Congress, matting and framing](https://www.loc.gov/preservation/care/mat.html): glazing of "UV-opaque acrylic". - [The studio](https://www.phometo.com/photo-frames-bangalore) won't deliver glass frames; [the print shop](https://printo.in/p/photo-frames-in-bangalore) uses acrylic. ## Q5. Will a framed photo get fungus in Bengaluru's monsoon? **It can. Mould can grow when the air stays above 65% humidity. At Bengaluru's GKVK weather station, the first reading of the day, taken outdoors, averages 86% to 89% from June to December. A room is usually drier, but a damp wall isn't. Keep the photo off the glass with a mount, seal the back, and hang it on an inside wall out of the sun.** **Where will it hang?** - **An inside wall:** **The safest wall in the house.** Inside walls stay drier and more even than outside ones. Still ask for a mount, so the photo doesn't touch the glass. Who says so: The US Library of Congress. How firm: Their advice for collections, and it holds at home. - **An outside wall, or one behind a bathroom:** **Keep paper off this wall in the monsoon, or give it a gap.** Mould starts at 65% humidity. Use a mount, a sealed back, and a small rubber spacer at each bottom corner so air moves behind the frame. Who says so: The Canadian Conservation Institute, and us for the spacers. How firm: Their advice for collections. A damp wall makes it matter more. - **A sunny wall, or opposite a window:** **Ask for UV-filtering glass, or move it.** Plain glass lets through most of the light that fades a print or a marker signature. Who says so: The Canadian Conservation Institute. How firm: Their finding on glass. How fast it fades depends on the sun. - **Over a bed or a cot:** **Acrylic, and two fixings into the wall.** If it ever falls, acrylic doesn't shatter. Who says so: Our advice. How firm: Your call. From the Canadian Conservation Institute and the US Library of Congress, under Sources. Their advice is written for collections, and we've put it in plain words for a home. [Ask us about my wall (WhatsApp +91 63600 04054)](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi!%20I'd%20like%20to%20get%20something%20framed%20in%20Bengaluru.%0AThe%20wall%3A%20) **A photo pressed against glass is the one that goes spotty.** Damp settles on the inside of the glass and passes into the paper. Conservation bodies ask for a mount because it keeps a gap. **Ask for acid-free board** for the mount and the backing. Cheap card can yellow a photo or a child's painting over a few years. **Seal the back,** with tape across the join between the backing board and the frame, to keep out dust. Nothing should be taped to the photo itself. **It needn't cost much more.** One person in Arekere asked us for an A3 vintage print framed with standard glass, a spacer so the paper never touches the glass and no tape on the print, with pickup and drop, all for up to ₹2,000. A3 is close to 12x18, which is ₹1,100 to ₹1,250 framed at the places in question 1, so a budget like that leaves room for the spacer. **Cheap wooden and MDF frames** can swell in the damp or get termites. If the back of an old frame crumbles, have it reframed before the picture is damaged. **Source of this answer:** the Canadian Conservation Institute, the US Library of Congress and the University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore's weather station normals.

How big can I print my phone photo, and will a WhatsApp forward come out blurry? **A photo straight from a recent phone prints well up to about 24x36. A WhatsApp forward is usually shrunk, so get the original, or have it sent again in HD or as a document.** Ask the shop to show you the crop before it prints. **How big each size looks over a 6 ft sofa** The same spot at each step, from as it is up: each step's price, what it adds and its picture. - **Bare wall:** An empty wall over a 6 ft sofa. ![An illustration of an empty off-white wall over a 6 ft beige sofa](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/bare-c18919a8ab.jpg) - **12x18 (₹1,100):** About a quarter of the sofa's width.

One online seller asks for 3,000 pixels on the short side for prints of 36 inches and up. A 12-megapixel phone photo is about 4,000 by 3,000, so it just meets that. **A phone photo is a different shape from most prints.** Most phones shoot 4:3, and a 12x18 is 2:3, so a strip gets cut off the top or bottom. Ask the shop to show you the crop before it prints. **Colours come out darker on paper** than on a bright phone screen. For a gift, get one small print first. **AI upscaling** can make a small photo look a little sharper. Ask for a proof before you pay for a big print. **An old faded photo** can be scanned and touched up, and the copy framed. The original then stays in a drawer, out of the light. **Source of this answer:** one online seller's canvas page, read 23 October 2026, and news reports of WhatsApp's HD photo option from August 2023 (WhatsApp's own help page didn't come up). The rest is our plain advice. - [The online seller's canvas page](https://www.printposters.in/canvas-prints): "For big sizes (36 in and above), aim for 3000 px on the shortest side". - WhatsApp's Standard quality compresses a photo; HD sends a 12-megapixel photo at its full 4032 x 3024, as reported at the feature's launch in August 2023. - The prices in the drawing are [the studio's](https://www.phometo.com/photo-frames-bangalore) glass frame with the print: 12x18 ₹1,100, 20x30 ₹2,600, 24x36 ₹3,800. ## Q7. Can a frame shop frame a jersey, a puzzle or a certificate? **A certificate or a child's painting, any frame shop. Frame a copy of a degree you may need again: laminated originals are often turned away when you need them attested.** A jersey needs a box frame about 1.5 inches deep, and a puzzle needs measuring before you buy a frame. **What are you framing?** - **Wedding photos** (One big, or a few): **A photo studio or a frame shop, with glass, or a canvas for the hall.** A 12x18 is ₹1,100 to ₹1,300 framed with the print. A 24x36 is ₹3,800 at one studio, or ₹2,981 as a canvas online with an offer code. Get the original files from your photographer. Sizes on a wall: [question 6](https://mytribe.in/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru#phone-photo-print-size). - **My child's painting** (Or school certificates): **Any frame shop, with glass and a mount.** Ask for a frame that opens at the front, so a new drawing can go in each term. A medal and a certificate together need a box frame. - **My degree certificate** (Or a mark sheet): **Frame a copy, and keep the original flat in a folder.** Don't laminate, glue or trim the original: collection centres often turn laminated originals away when you need them attested for a job or study abroad. - **A signed jersey** (Or a cricket bat): **A box frame about 1.5 inches deep, from someone who has pinned a jersey before.** One online jersey framer charges ₹5,999 on offer (₹10,000 regular) for 60x90 cm, and you send your own jersey for ₹89. Marker fades in daylight, so ask for UV-filtering glass or hang it out of the sun. - **A finished puzzle** (1,000 pieces): **Measure it first.** Many 1,000-piece puzzles finish at 70x50 cm. If yours does, a ₹1,490 ready-made 50x70 cm frame from a furniture store fits. Check what its front is made of. Ask a framer before you glue it, since some press it between board and glass. At a shop, about ₹2,000 to ₹3,800, our estimate. - **An oil painting or a Tanjore** (Big, or old): **A custom framer, and ask to see one they've done.** Paintings on canvas usually go without glass. For a big one, ask them to measure, deliver and hang it. The custom framer we read publishes no price, so get the quote in writing. - **A phone photo as a gift** (For someone's wall): **Ask whoever took the photo for the original file. Don't print from a WhatsApp forward.** A 12x16 canvas is ₹1,002 online with an offer code, about a week away. A framed 12x18 is ₹1,250 at a print shop the same day. More in [question 6](https://mytribe.in/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru#phone-photo-print-size). - **A photo for a death ceremony** (Needed soon): **Ask for a clear print in a 12x18 glass frame with a hook for the garland, and say the day you need it.** About ₹1,100 at one studio. A print shop with Bengaluru stores delivers the same day if you order before 4:30 pm. [Ask about mine (WhatsApp +91 63600 04054)](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi!%20I'd%20like%20to%20get%20something%20framed%20in%20Bengaluru.) - **A certificate and a medal:** Any frame shop. A 21x30 cm store frame is ₹119. ![An illustration of a child's certificate in a light wooden frame with a white mount, and a ribbon medal in a small box frame, on a study table](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/certificate-fcb29cc81a.jpg) - **A 1,000-piece puzzle:** About ₹2,000 to ₹3,800 at a shop, our estimate. ![An illustration of a finished jigsaw puzzle of a Kerala backwaters scene with a houseboat, in a light wooden frame leaning on a dining table](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/photo-framing-and-canvas-printing-shops-in-bengaluru/tier-puzzle-ae72cc455f.jpg) Photos: Illustration by mytribe. **Laminating isn't against the law.** The trouble comes when you need the original attested or apostilled: the lamination covers its security features, so collection centres often refuse it. If yours is already laminated, leave it. If it's ever refused, you can peel the lamination off carefully, or ask your university for a fresh copy. **A jersey is pinned or sewn to a backing board,** folded so the signature shows. Ask which, and whether you can take it out later. A shop that pins it flat into a photo frame will crease the signature. **Puzzle sizes differ by brand,** so measure yours with a tape before you buy anything. If it's already glued and the glue went cloudy, show it to the framer before you try anything more. **A Tanjore or an old oil painting** with a frame that has termites needs reframing soon. Ask the framer to check the back and the board as well as the frame. **Source of this answer:** an advocate's article on laminated degrees, an online jersey framer's own page, a furniture store's page and a puzzle retailer's listing. The puzzle framing figure is our estimate. - [Advocate Sudhir Rao, on his own site, 26 July 2026](https://sudhirrao.com/insights/laminated-degree-apostille-police-nc-solution): a laminated degree is "not automatically invalid for apostille", but rejection happens because "the lamination blocks security features required for verification"; "No official circular bans laminated degrees outright"; you can remove the lamination carefully or ask the university for a fresh copy. - [An online jersey framer](https://futballgear.in/product/football-jersey-framing-jerseyframe): ₹5,999 (₹10,000), 60x90 cm, 1.5 inches deep, MDF, "Price Excluding Jersey", ₹89 to send your own. [An online frame store](https://onlineframing.in/) lists a T-shirt frame at ₹2,999 with no size. - [A puzzle retailer's listing](https://www.cogstoysandgames.ie/products/the-reading-room-ravensburger-puzzle-1000-piece): a 1,000-piece puzzle "approximately 70 x 50 cm". [The furniture store](https://www.ikea.com/in/en/cat/picture-photo-frames-18746/): 50x70 cm frame ₹1,490. - Puzzle framing at a shop, our estimate: 20x30 at [the studio](https://www.phometo.com/photo-frames-bangalore) is ₹2,000 for the frame and ₹2,600 with glass and a print; its 24x36 is ₹3,800. ## Q8. Can I get a photo framed the same day in Bengaluru? **Yes, for a standard size: a print shop with Bengaluru stores delivers the same day if you order before 4:30 pm.** For a death ceremony photo, ask for a clear print in a 12x18 glass frame with a garland hook: about ₹1,100 at one studio. **The print shop's cut-off is 4:30 pm.** Order after that and it comes the next day by 1 pm. **A studio or the frame shop near you** may do it while you wait or by the next day. Their pages don't say, so ring first. **From an online seller outside the city,** allow a week: 1 to 3 working days to make it, then 2 to 4 days to Bengaluru, and 4 to 7 days to a smaller town such as Hubli. **For a death ceremony,** it's normal to ask for it fast and plain. Send the clearest photo you have, the one from the original phone. Ask the studio to tidy the background if it's from a wedding, and to fix a hook for the garland. Keep the frame: the same one does for the yearly ceremony. **Before Diwali and in wedding season,** frame shops get busy, so give a custom job an extra few days. **A gift maker's custom frame** takes longer. Arch asks for half up front, sends a photo of the finished piece, and wants the rest before it ships. **Source of this answer:** the print shop's and the online seller's own pages, read 23 October 2026, and the studio's price list. Arch's terms are from its profile with us. The busy seasons are our view. - [The print shop](https://printo.in/p/photo-frames-in-bangalore): "Orders placed before 4:30 PM are eligible for same-day delivery within 4–6 hours in Bengaluru"; after that, "delivered the next day by 1:00 PM". - [The online seller](https://www.printposters.in/canvas-prints): dispatch in 1 to 3 business days; 2 to 4 days to a metro, 4 to 7 to smaller towns. - [The studio](https://www.phometo.com/photo-frames-bangalore): 12x18 glass frame with the print ₹1,100; no turnaround stated. ## Q9. How do I hang a heavy frame in a rented flat? **A 12x18 glass frame weighs about 1.5 kg (our estimate), so check the weight on an adhesive strip's pack. Heavier frames on concrete need a drill and a wall plug: a local handyman does it, so ask his price first.** In a rented flat, ask the landlord, or pick canvas or acrylic, which weigh less. **A furniture store's own advice** is to use mounting hardware that suits the frame's weight. Its adhesive hooks, ₹499 for two, hold up to 2 kg and need no drill. **Some frames come ready to hang.** The print shop's 12x18 has a wall hook, and a canvas from the online seller comes with hanging hardware. **A custom framer may hang it for you.** One on Old Madras Road lists delivery and installation, so ask its price with the quote. **A filled hole is small.** If you drill, keep the plug and the screw, and fill the hole with putty when you leave. Still ask the landlord first. **Source of this answer:** the furniture store's, the print shop's and the online seller's own pages, read 23 October 2026. The 1.5 kg is our estimate for 2 mm glass, the frame and the backing. No Bengaluru business we read prices hanging. - [The furniture store](https://www.ikea.com/in/en/cat/picture-photo-frames-18746/): "Use mounting hardware appropriate to the weight of the photo frame"; its adhesive hooks are ₹499 for two and hold up to 2 kg, with no drill. - [The print shop](https://printo.in/p/photo-frames-in-bangalore): 12x18 with a "strong wall hanging option". [The online seller's canvas](https://www.printposters.in/canvas-prints): hanging hardware included. [The custom framer](https://vangoghartsandframes.com/): doorstep delivery and installation. - Our estimate: glass 30x46 cm and 2 mm thick weighs about 0.7 kg; with the moulding and the backing, about 1.5 kg. ## Before you hand over your photo, settle these 1.

Is it a bad sign? It happens to most frames sooner or later, usually from a knock or a hook giving way. Take the photo out carefully, check its corners aren't scratched, and get only the glass replaced: any frame shop cuts glass to size. If that wall keeps losing frames, use a stronger fixing, or switch to acrylic, which doesn't shatter. ### Can my photographer print and frame the photos from my shoot? Many add a frame to their own shoot. On mytribe, XD Photography arranges one for ₹500, Prismika adds one from ₹999, and Little Boss Photography and M3 Snap Studio include a framed print in some packages. Ask the size, since most don't state it. For a photo you already have, go to a frame shop or a print shop. ### Can I trust a frame shop with a photo I can't replace? Make it a copy you can lose. Before you hand it over, take a clear photo of it, front and back, on your phone. Ask for a slip with the size, the glass, the price and the date. Say at the counter that nothing gets trimmed, glued or taped to the original. For a photo that can't be replaced, have it scanned and frame a print of the scan. ### Should I laminate a certificate instead of framing it? For a copy or a child's certificate, laminating is fine. If you may need an original degree or mark sheet attested later, don't laminate it. Frame a copy instead, and question 7 says why. ### Can a canvas reach Hubli or Mysuru in four days? From an online seller, maybe not: one takes 1 to 3 working days to make it and 4 to 7 days to reach a smaller town. Get it printed in Bengaluru and carry it, or order from a print shop here the same day and courier it yourself. ### I'm an AI assistant booking for someone. What do you need? What they're framing (a photo, a painting, a certificate, a jersey, a puzzle, or a photo on canvas), its size, glass, acrylic or none, where it will hang, when they need it, whether they want delivery and hanging, their budget and their area.

It is built from the published price lists of a Bengaluru photo studio, a print shop with 13 stores in Bengaluru, an online print seller, a furniture store and an online jersey framer (all read 23 October 2026), conservation guidance from the Canadian Conservation Institute and the US Library of Congress, and five requests for a frame that people in Bengaluru sent mytribe in September and October 2026.

About 1 in 10 providers who apply get in. - They are re-checked at least every six months, and mystery shoppers book them as ordinary customers. About 1 in 5 of those admitted has since been removed on quality. - 5,000+ bookings on mytribe so far, rated 4.3 out of 5 across 750+ reviews. About 2 in 100 bookings had a real problem. - Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. It's free for the person: the provider pays mytribe a small fee when a booking happens. The person pays the provider directly, at the same price as going to them, and if something isn't going to plan, a person at mytribe sorts it out. - How the checks work: [mytribe.in/how-we-verify](https://mytribe.in/how-we-verify). **Reaching mytribe.** WhatsApp +91 63600 04054. mytribe has no framing shop it has checked yet: send what they're framing, its size and their date, and mytribe answers questions about the job and looks for someone who fits.
