Now Accepting Beta Testers
Don’t waste your time, or your money, on a gallery that no one is ever going to visit.

With FilledFrame, your fans can purchase fine-art prints of any image on your grid - right from their DMs. Better yet, it is fast, easy, and free to use.

Why FilledFrame?
FilledFrame is the best way to get your work onto the walls of your friends, family, and followers. Here are a few of the reasons why:
- It only takes seconds (literally) to get started
- Our service is free to use - we only take a commission when you sell a print

- ...while your customers get world class service

FilledFrame Versus a Gallery
Cost - Galleries are expensive. In fact, most photographers end up spending more to host their galleries than they ever earn from them. FilledFrame is free to use. We only take a commission if and when you make a sale.
Time - Galleries require lots of of time and effort to set up. FilledFrame only takes seconds to get started.
Selection - Galleries pick and choose which photographs to include. With FilledFrame, all of your posts are included, instantly and automatically.
Traffic - With a gallery, you need to constantly work to drive traffic to your site. FilledFrame meets your customers where they are (your posts, your profile, in their DMs).
FilledFrame Versus DIY Print Sales
- Awkwardness - customers are often reluctant to "DM for Prints" because it creates an awkward situation if they don't end up making a purchase. Having a third party involved solves that problem, leading to more print inquiries.
- Presentation - We are really good at presenting your work in a professional manner.
- Options - We don't just sell prints, we also offer a host of mounting and framing options.
- Fulfillment - Finding a photo lab takes a lot of time, and buying a high-end printer to do it yourself can be really expensive (a whole lot more than you will make off of a single print).
- Quality - We work with one of the best photo labs in the country, ensuring that your work will look amazing, wherever it is hung
- Customer Service - We are set up to deliver excellent customer service, so you can spend your time taking more photographs
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Your Service Cost?
Our service is free to use. We will never even ask you for a credit card. We make our money by taking a commission on sales.
What is FilledFrame's Commission?
Our commission is 25% of the markup on any prints you sell. The markup is the amount charged over the physical cost of the print (+ mounting, framing, and payment fees) charged by our fulfillment partners
Do you sell prints for me?
FilledFrame makes selling prints quicker and easier than ever before, but...
You still need to be the one selling prints. Don't worry though, we are here to help every step of the way, with videos, resources, and support.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Add to Your Bio
Adding "Share any post to @filledframe for prints" to your bio lets everyone visiting your page know that prints are available. It also adds a link your followers can click to visit our page and important resources, like our explainer videos (available as of 3/1/2025).
Prints Now Available Video
When you sign up with FilledFrame, we will put together a short video for you to let your followers know that prints are available, and how to get a quote.
(trouble viewing the video? - click here)
This video can be leveraged in the following ways:
- Post to your social media channels - on Instagram these work best as a Reel.
- The last frame (before the collapse animation) is designed to work as a cover for your Reel. The key elements will also fit in your profile grid.
- Pin to your profile - to let anyone visiting your page know that prints are available, right when they have all of your posts in front of their eyes.
- Share as a Story - Stories give you another chance to engage with your followers, and get your video in front of a larger audience.
- Save Story as a Highlight - this is another way to get the message out to anyone viewing your page. Bonus points for requiring less valuable page real estate than pinning a Reel.
- Add a voice over - If you are someone who regularly lets your followers hear your voice, replacing the music in our videos with your own voice-over can be very effective.
- Edit away - We think our videos are pretty slick, but if we accepted your application or invited you to be a beta tester, chances are you have some pretty solid content-creation skills yourself. Feel free to pop our video into your editor to produce your own even-more-compelling content.
Posts
Adding something to the effect of, "If you are interested in purchasing a print, share this post to @filledframe for a no-obligation quote" to the captions on your posts can capture the attention of anyone viewing your content, whether they are following you or not. This can also be done in the comments instead of the caption.
Messages
If people are messaging you about a specific post, that could be a great time to let them know that prints are available. If someone specifically asks about purchasing prints, you can always request a quote from us yourself, and then share it them through your own DMs (instead of having us send it to them).
Final Thoughts
Of course, these are all just suggestions. You know your followers better than we do, and are likely to have other ideas that work really well.
With FilledFrame, you do not have to worry about justifying all of the time and money you spent setting up and hosting a gallery (since we are quick, easy, free-to-use, and all) so you can do as much, or as little, as you feel like.
How Do You Create Quotes Without the Full-Resolution Image?
Social media apps scale down your uploads before posting them. Instagram, for example, scales images to a width of 1080 pixels. While this is not large enough to create large prints, it is big enough to look great on a screen. We are therefore able to use your social media or portfolio images for the quote. Once a sale is made, we will send you a link to upload the full-resolution image for production.
The use of down-scaled social media images in our quotes also prevents people from using them as a way to pirate your high-resolution content.
How Much Do Prints Cost?
We are currently charging $38 for an 8x10 paper print - this includes the $18 physical cost and a $20 markup (what your earnings and our commission come from). We use a formula to determine the prices for different sizes. You can get a better sense of our prices looking at one of our sample Quotes.
We plan to roll out separate pricing tiers to let photographers charge different amounts soon.
