Some moments deserve more than a phone scroll—they deserve a place on your wall. Printing on canvas turns a favorite photo into artwork you can live with every day: warm texture, soft sheen, and a gallery feel that’s both modern and timeless.
Why canvas?
- Artful texture: The weave softens sharp edges and adds depth.
- Low glare: Matte finish looks great in bright rooms.
- Edge-to-edge impact: Wraparound sides create a clean, frameless look (or pair with a float frame for extra polish).
Choose the right photo
- Emotion first. If it makes you smile instantly, start there.
- Clarity counts. Use the original file (not a screenshot). Avoid heavy crops or zooms.
- Light wins. Natural light, even skin tones, and simple backgrounds print beautifully.
- Composition tip: Keep key faces and details away from the edges so they don’t wrap around the sides.
Pick a size and layout
- Measure the wall. Small (8×10–12×16) for shelves, medium (16×20–18×24) for hallways, statement (24×36+) for living rooms.
- Go solo or create a set. One hero piece for drama, or a triptych/gallery wall for storytelling.
- Eye level rule: Center at about 57–60 inches from the floor for most spaces.
Edges & finishes
- Gallery wrap: Image continues around the sides—clean and modern.
- Mirrored/solid edge: Protects important details near the border.
- Framing option: A slim float frame adds definition without the glass glare.
Color & simple edits
- Dial back heavy filters—they can shift skin tones.
- Black & white is timeless for emotional impact.
- If images look different across screens, don’t worry—professional print correction evens things out.
File tips (easy!)
- Send the largest file you have; phone photos usually work great.
- JPEG or PNG is fine. If possible, aim for at least ~2500 pixels on the shortest side for medium sizes.
Care & hanging
- Dust lightly with a dry cloth.
- Keep away from direct sun and heavy humidity.
- Use two hooks for stability and a level for straight lines.
Order-ready checklist
- Original, high-quality file
- Chosen size and edge style
- Space measured and marked
- Light considered (day + evening)
- Optional: caption/date on the back
