Framky vs myposter (Fotowand)
myposter's Fotowand is one of the very few products like Framky β a real S/M/L gallery-wall set of your own photos. The differences are the design experience and the frame. Fotowand is app-only (no desktop), uses fixed city-template layouts, and ships standard wood frames with glass. Framky designs on desktop in a 3D configurator, lets you build a free composition (not a fixed template), and ships glassless MDF β no glare, nothing to shatter in transit.

Design experience
This is the biggest practical gap. Fotowand can only be built in the MYPOSTER app β myposter states it's "exclusively in the MYPOSTER iOS and Android app" β and app reviews report it crashing when you select the full ~300-image set. If you're on a laptop, or you just want a bigger canvas to arrange a considered, high-value purchase, you can't.
Framky runs a 3D configurator on the web/desktop: design a free composition or start from a ready layout, preview it in space, and order β no app required, no fixed template.
Product & materials
Both are credible, craft-led products β myposter has an in-house frame workshop and a strong dΓ©cor reputation. The difference is glazing. Fotowand uses standard framed pieces with glass, and reviewers note two related issues: frames arriving scratched or broken (one customer repaired theirs with super glue) and glare β "die glΓ€nzende OberflΓ€che spiegelte oft" ("the glossy surface often reflected").
Framky's glassless MDF removes both at once: nothing to shatter in transit, and a matte pigment print with no reflections.
Print quality
myposter is genuinely praised for detail ("even the very smallest details are clearly visible"). Framky's 12-ink pigment on matte paper matches that intent while the glassless, matte finish avoids the glare reviewers mention on glossy surfaces.
Pricing
Fotowand uses a fixed "Set-Preis" per S/M/L, but the actual prices are only visible inside the app β frustrating for comparison shoppers. Framky is a premium curated set with transparent, on-site pricing.
Delivery & service
myposter is praised for fast dispatch and accommodating service, though there are recurring complaints about packaging on flat/large items and delivery delays despite paid express. Framky fulfils across the EU/UK (incl. DE/AT) with a 30-day money-back and print-replacement guarantee.
Who Framky is best for
- You want to design on desktop with a real 3D preview, not only on a phone.
- You want a free composition, not a fixed city-template layout.
- You prefer glassless MDF β no glare, nothing to break in transit.
Who myposter Fotowand is best for
- You're happy designing on your phone with AR preview.
- A ready city-template layout suits you and you like myposter's wood-frame range.
- You're firmly in the German market and already trust the brand.
Switching from myposter
Same idea β your photos as an S/M/L wall β but you design it on a larger 3D canvas on desktop, choose any composition rather than a fixed template, and receive glassless MDF frames that won't glare or shatter.
