Hanging pictures well is a craft of inches 📏. Paper Lantern 🏮 gives that craft a studio: photograph 📸 the wall you want to fill, and arrange gilded frames 🖼️ directly over the photo until the composition feels right. Drag each frame into place, watch live spacing measurements appear between neighbours 📐, and keep everything anchored to the classic 57-inch eye line 👁️ — or set your own.
Six curated layout archetypes 🎨 — grids, salon clusters, staircase runs and more — can dress an empty wall in one tap 👆, each with its own specification sheet 📄 and curator's notes 📝 on where it works best. Your art lives in a collection of framed pieces 🖼️ with brass-plaque captions 🪙: title, artist, medium, dimensions and the walls each piece hangs on. Add new acquisitions in seconds ⏱️ and swap frame styles to suit the room 🏡.
When the arrangement is settled ✔️, the Hang Guide turns it into hardware instructions 🔧: a to-scale diagram 📊 with nail markers 📍, a measurements table 📏 in inches or centimetres, and a five-step hanging protocol 🪜 from marking the eye line to the final level check ⚖️. Wall photos stay on your device 🔒 and can be retaken 🔄 or removed at any time, and every project, piece and setting is kept offline 📵.
