## What is MatGlass?

MatGlass is a framing studio for photographers and art lovers.

Before you print, see the finished piece on iPhone or iPad: choose a frame, lay the mat, add glazing, then hang the work at true size in a room — every wall has a real width and light, so shadows follow the windows and lamps. Group several pieces into a photo wall, preview the whole arrangement, and export a spec sheet a print shop can follow, plus a hanging guide marked nail by nail.

— Rooms —
• A hundred-plus realistic rooms in a dozen-plus categories, and growing: living rooms, bedrooms, galleries, studies, dining rooms, and more
• Each wall is marked with its true width, a hangable area, and where the light comes from; the piece hangs at real size, at standing eye level
• Or use a photo of your own wall; after a three-step calibration it hangs at the same true scale

— Framing —
• 30 frame finishes: classic woods, brushed metals, European carving, Chinese hardwoods
• 11 mounts: window mat, float, floater frame, glass sandwich, shadow box, acrylic face-mount, gallery wrap, dry mount, hanging scroll, and more
• Mat styles: single / double / triple, museum, weighted bottom, oriental proportions, French mat, float
• Multi-opening mats: 2 to 6 windows in one board — grid, stack, diagonal, staircase, hero, and more — with adjustable gaps and margins
• Layered mats: width, colour, and bevel set per layer
• Deckle edges, paper borders, and a signature, all adjustable to the millimetre (inches too)
• Enlarge a corner sample, the way you would in a framing shop

— Smart & efficient —
• Smart colour: pull a palette from the photo and build a full mat + frame + wall scheme in one tap (Pro)
• Materials & cost: usage from the same sizes as the preview; you enter the unit prices; export with the spec sheet (Pro)
• Print-quality check: DPI updates with the output size, and warns if it falls below press standard
• Undo / redo, variant compare, save and share framing presets
• 12 built-in samples so you can see the styles at a glance

— Photo wall (Pro) —
• Arrange several pieces freely, at millimetre-true scale
• 14 layout templates, plus auto-arrange; adjustable grid snap and alignment guides
• Hang them in the rooms above, or on a photo of your own wall
• Export the mock-up, a full spec sheet, and a hanging-guide PDF in one go (single-nail cord or two D-rings)

— Preview & export —
• Live 3D preview, with real shadow and depth
• Hold the peek control while you design to see frame thickness; the layout itself never tilts
• Showcase: four camera angles, drag to look around, export at original / 1:1 / 4:5 / 9:16 (Pro)
• AR preview: place the framed piece in a real room (Pro)
• Export a high-resolution image to Photos or share it; spec-sheet PDF in millimetres and inches (Pro)

— Data —
• Unlimited local saves; one-tap backup and restore (.matglass archive)
• Fully offline. No account. No tracking.

— Languages —
Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, 日本語, Deutsch, Français.

MatGlass Pro (one-time purchase) unlocks more rooms, Showcase, premium frames and mounts, smart colour, materials & cost, photo walls, your own wall photo, AR preview, and the spec-sheet PDF. The free edition is enough for everyday framing.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.2 — 2026-08-21

3.2

Hang your work in a real room.

A hundred-plus realistic rooms in a dozen-plus categories — living rooms, bedrooms, galleries, and more. Each wall has a real width and light that matches the space.

Your piece hangs at its true size. A 40 cm print looks 40 cm on a 3-metre wall, at standing eye level — the way it would at home.

Light belongs to the room. Shadows follow the windows and lamps already in the picture. You still choose how strong they are.

New with Pro: Showcase. Four camera angles, drag to look around, and export at 1:1, 4:5, or 9:16 for social.

While you design, hold the new control next to 3D to see how thick the frame is. The layout stays straight — nothing tilts.

If you previously placed a piece on your own wall photo, please move it back into place once after this update.
