GalleryPlanner vs generic design tools
Generic design tools can help with moodboards and visual mockups, but they don't know what a frame is. GalleryPlanner is purpose-built for the physical install — from measuring to drilling:
| GalleryPlanner | Generic tools | |
|---|---|---|
| Real wall dimensions | Yes — inches or cm | Freeform canvas |
| Ready-made layouts | 100+ Starter Layouts | Blank canvas |
| Retailer frame sizes | Brands, with mat openings | Manual shapes |
| Fixtures like windows, TVs, and sofas (Pro) | Wall Objects with real sizes | Manual shapes |
| Auto-Layout algorithms | 6 styles | None |
| Photo-to-frame matching | Smart Fill (on-device) | None |
| Hanging Guide with measurements | PDF export (Pro) | Not available |
| Photo privacy | Never leaves device | Cloud upload |
