The Golden Ratio in Photo Framing: Why Weighted Bottoms Look Better

In traditional art gallery framing, the bottom margin of a passe-partout mat is deliberately cut 10% to 20% wider than the top and sides (a phenomenon known as the optical center correction). Because the human eye naturally perceives the visual weight of an image below its geometric center, a slightly weighted bottom frame prevents the photo from appearing as if it is sliding downward.

Presetpedia's Polaroid and Museum Mat generators mathematically compute these optical offsets on the HTML5 Canvas to deliver authentic gallery aesthetics.
