Stampa di Luce

Plan the print before you make it. Borders, mat opening, crop and effective PPI from your image to any paper or frame — in mm or inches, offline, free.

Stampa di Luce is a print planner for photographers.

You have a 3:2 file and a 40 × 50 cm frame. What gets cropped? How wide do the borders end up? What should the mat opening be? Does the file have enough pixels? Stampa answers all four in one screen, and shows its working so you can check it against a ruler.

FROM IMAGE TO FRAME • Start from the image: pick a ratio, type the pixel dimensions, or read them from a photo • Choose the paper or frame: ISO A, US sizes, common frame, square and panoramic dimensions — or your own • Fit with borders, or fill with crop — the diagram shows exactly what is lost and from which edges

BORDERS AND MAT • Set a minimum border and a heavier bottom weighting for classic fine-art presentation • See the borders as they actually land on the sheet, not just the number you asked for • Mat opening with overlap, float-mount option, and the outer mat size

RESOLUTION • Effective PPI at the printed size, corrected for cropping • A plain-language quality note — advisory, never a gate

SHARE • Send the plan as text to a lab or framer: every input and every result, in mm or inches, never mixed

MADE FOR THE PRINT ROOM • Works completely offline • No account, no tracking, no data collection — the picked photo is never copied or uploaded; only its pixel dimensions are read • Saved sizes stay on your device • English, Swedish and German

Stampa di Luce is free. It belongs to the di Luce family — Diario, Forma and Schema — made under the Volto di Luce photography brand by INNOMEGA AB.
