Compare Digital Article Framing Services

Written By Alex Couture

If you want to frame a digital news article, the frame is the easy part. The hard part is turning a web page full of ads, menus, and pop-ups into a clean, readable print. YourFramedArticle (that's us) does that work for you: we rebuild the article as an ad-free layout styled like the publication, email a proof within 48 hours, and frame it. Framebridge, Simply Framed, and Frame It Easy are general custom framers. They're excellent when you already have a print-ready file, and less suited when all you have is a link.

The short answer:

  • YourFramedArticle: you have a link, a PDF, or a scan or photo of the printed page and want it rebuilt, proofed, and framed, with the design included in the price.

  • Framebridge: you already have a clean file and want all-in, size-based pricing and a wide choice of frame styles.

  • Simply Framed: you want a traditional custom-framing finish with a mat and a mockup.

  • Frame It Easy: you want to choose the size, paper, mat, and glazing yourself.

Price, size for size: YourFramedArticle vs Framebridge

"From $79" and "from $70" are not comparable: Framebridge's $70 tier is for prints up to 5 x 7 inches, which is too small for most articles. Matched by size, here is what each charges to frame a digital article:

Frame size YourFramedArticle (article layout included) Framebridge digital item (you supply the file)
8 x 12 in $79 $90 (Small, up to 9 x 12)
12 x 16 in $89 $125 (Medium, up to 12 x 18)
16 x 20 in $119 $175 (Large, up to 18 x 24)
18 x 24 in $159 $175 (Large, up to 18 x 24)
24 x 32 in $229 $225 + $25 shipping (Extra Large, up to 24 x 34)

Three differences matter when you read this table. Our price includes rebuilding the article into a print-ready layout; Framebridge's assumes you already have that file. Framebridge's price includes shipping up to the Large size. We ship free on orders over $100 with the code FREESHIP100, which covers every size from 16 x 20 up; below that, shipping is calculated at checkout. And Framebridge's price includes an acid-free mat and UV-protective acrylic.

1. YourFramedArticle: best when all you have is the article

We built YourFramedArticle around one job: turning press coverage into a finished piece for the wall. Founders frame their exits, families frame tributes, athletes frame their biggest wins, and companies frame the coverage their teams earned.

What we do that general framers don't:

  • We start from whatever you have. A link, a PDF, or a scan or photo of the printed page, which also works for articles that are no longer online.

  • We rebuild the article. Ads, menus, cookie banners, and "related stories" are removed. The headline, byline, photos, and body text are laid out to look like the publication: masthead, headline style, columns. When a publication's typeface is proprietary, we use the closest match we can license.

  • You approve before we print. A proof arrives by email within 48 hours on weekdays, and we revise it until you're happy. Nothing prints before you sign off.

  • We size it for you. As a guide, 8 x 12 inches fits about 400 words and one image, 16 x 20 about 1,500 words and two to four images, and 18 x 24 about 2,200 words. If your article doesn't work at the size you picked, we tell you and adjust.

Materials: Ayous wood frame, 0.75 inch (1.9 cm) thick, in black, white, natural wood, or dark wood; premium 10.3 mil (0.26 mm) paper; Acrylite acrylic front; hanging hardware included. Acrylic plaques in 4 mm acrylic start at $169 at regular price.

Delivery: within about a week of approving the proof, with express shipping available. We ship to the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and Western Europe.

Returns: 30 days, with free return shipping, no restocking fee, and no final-sale exclusions. Every frame we make is custom, and every one is covered. If a frame arrives damaged, we reprint and reframe it free.

Track record: more than 1,400 orders shipped, with a 5.0-star average rating. One in three orders comes from a business.

Best for: founders, executives, athletes, families, and companies who want press coverage turned into a finished keepsake without doing the production work.

Limitation: we specialize in articles. If you already have a print-ready image and want to choose from dozens of molding styles, specialty mats, or float mounts, a general framer like Framebridge or Frame It Easy gives you more options.

2. Framebridge: best for all-in pricing on a clean file

Framebridge is the most straightforward option when you already have a print-ready image of the article. Its pricing page lists all-in prices by size for digital items: $70 up to 5 x 7 inches, $90 up to 9 x 12, $125 up to 12 x 18, $175 up to 18 x 24, $225 up to 24 x 34, and $300 up to 32 x 40. The two largest sizes carry a $25 shipping fee unless you pick up in a store.

The price includes the frame, an acid-free mat, acrylic glazing with UV protection, kraft-paper backing, and hanging hardware. Enhanced UV acrylic, which blocks up to 99% of UV rays versus 93% for the standard option, is a $15 to $50 upgrade. Framebridge's Happiness Guarantee promises to make things right for up to a year if you're not happy with your order.

Best for: shoppers who have a clean file and value transparent pricing, standard framing materials, and a wide range of frame styles.

Limitation: the digital-item workflow frames the file you upload. Ask before ordering if you need someone to extract the text, remove web clutter, or rebuild the article as a newspaper-style page.

3. Simply Framed: best for a traditional finish with a mat

Simply Framed has a dedicated online-article page. It prints online articles with archival inks, displays them in a custom mat, and lets you start by choosing a frame and adding the article link. A team member sends a mockup within two business days of the order, which gives you a chance to catch an awkward crop or headline break before the frame is made. Its frames are custom-built in the USA in 100% wood and metal moldings.

The page does not show a single fixed price; the total depends on the frame and configuration you choose. It also gives less detail than we do about removing web clutter or rebuilding the article as a publication-style layout.

Best for: a traditional custom-framing finish with a mat and a human-reviewed mockup.

Limitation: you need to configure the order to see the final price.

4. Frame It Easy: best for doing it yourself

Frame It Easy is the most flexible option if you want to design the frame yourself. Its online designer lets you set the size, upload an image, and choose the paper, frame, mat, and cover, with an interactive preview as you go. For text-heavy images, it describes photo paper as a good fit. Its conservation-clear acrylic offers 99% UV protection, compared with 66% for standard clear acrylic. On October 15, 2026, the designer showed a production time of 4 to 6 business days plus shipping.

Prices depend on the size, printing, matting, and cover you configure. You also prepare the article image yourself: capturing it, cleaning it up, and cropping it before you upload.

Best for: people who want control over dimensions, paper, matting, glazing, and the final crop.

Limitation: it is a frame designer, not an article-layout service, so the preparation work is yours.

Framing articles for a company

One in three of our orders comes from a business, and we have framed for 92 companies, including Tarte Cosmetics, JLL, Johnson Controls, Yale University, and People Inc. Companies use us in two ways:

  • Gifts and recognition: one frame per person, shipped to each home or office with no invoice in the box, and one invoice for you.

  • Press walls: matching frames and formats across a set, with a wall layout mockup, even when the articles come from different publications or different decades.

Orders of three to four pieces get 10% off each piece, five to seven get 15% off, and larger projects are quoted. We accept invoices and purchase orders. See our framed articles for companies page.

How to choose

Choose based on the work you want to avoid:

  • If the hard part is turning a web page into a finished, readable article, choose YourFramedArticle.

  • If you already have a clean file and want all-in pricing and lots of frame styles, choose Framebridge.

  • If you want a mat and a traditional custom finish, choose Simply Framed.

  • If you want to set every detail yourself, choose Frame It Easy.

Wherever you order, hang the frame out of direct sunlight. The Library of Congress recommends keeping paper and photographs away from strong light, high heat, and high humidity.
