    Yes, a photo of 5x7 in inches is going to need a frame that's bigger than a 4x6 print. It should be the same size as the picture or sized to fit with a mat, Visuals Clipping said. When selecting a decorative frame border or matting, bear in mind that the frame will be larger than the photograph. If you know the size of the space up front, it will help you decide on the right frame.
