A canvas print is your image printed with inkjet printers onto our high-quality archival canvas material. The canvas is then stretched, also known as gallery-wrapped, around an internal wooden frame allowing it to be visible from all sides.

We recommend measuring the space you're aiming to fill. If possible mark the corners with a pencil to best decide the size you're happy with. Start with a few standard sizes to see which one fits your wall best. For a small spot in a hallway or kitchen, we'd normally start with 18"×24". If you're filling a space above a small couch or in a dining room we'd start with 24"×36". Above something like a queen bed or full couch we'd usually check 32"×40" first and go from there!
From a small 8"×8" to a large 32"×40", we offer the largest selection of canvas prints in the industry. We make it easy by suggesting sizes that work perfectly with your desired image. We are known for our large wall art prints.

Every canvas we create has a unique coating with chemistry perfect gloss and UV inhibitors that produces the highest quality images using our UL Certified GREENGUARD GOLD Inks to help promote sustainability. This means your print will never crack, flake, fade, or bubble. Guaranteed for life.
If you accidentally spill something on your canvas, we recommend dabbing it with a moist cloth. Only rub if dabbing isn't proving successful.
You have the option to add a frame to your personalized canvas prints. The standard wrap canvas fits snugly inside the frame, with the floating frame lip positioned above the canvas. This stylish addition creates a 1.75” depth to your print.
Our frames are made of solid pine and come in espresso brown, black, white.
When placing an order the dimensions you put in will always be for the image itself. If adding a frame to your canvas it will be in addition to the size you've selected.
