The single best thing about canvas prints is the fact that they provide for an elegant, yet super affordable way to surround yourself and decorate your home or office with your favorite photos and memories. Thanks to the recent advances in both printing and mobile photography, we’re all able to create canvas prints that allow us to cherish special moments forever. 

It’s safe to say that mobile photography is by far the most popular style of photography these days. No matter where we are, we all have incredible cameras in our pockets thanks to our smartphones. Whether you’re on vacation with your family, on a long day hike, or just out to eat with your friends, smartphone cameras allow us to so easily and quickly capture fleeting moments with just a few swipes and taps. Likewise, some of our favorite canvas prints to create are made with photographs that display these moments.

Combine our mission with smartphone and mobile photography, and you get a budget friendly way to hang up gallery quality canvas prints in your home. 

We can create all kinds of canvas prints to fit any situation or wall space available in your home. At the core of our business is the standard canvas print, available in over 1,000 different sizes, and up to 40 inches tall or wide! Starting at just $11.98 our 8” x 8” square canvas print is one of our best selling products. Perfect your office, nightstand, kitchen, or any smaller area in your home and 8” x 8” canvas print is a great way to display a small reminder of one of your favorite moments. They also make for thoughtful, meaningful gifts for any special person in your life to celebrate any occasion. Want to go bigger, another one of our popular print sizes is a 24” x 36” canvas print. Displaying the same aspect ratio as most cameras, this means you won't have to worry about cropping your image. We love this size because it’s large enough to be a centerpiece of a decently sized room, without drawing too much attention from the other pieces of home decor you worked so hard to arrange. A 24” x 36” canvas print is the perfect way to seamlessly display your photo in your home. 

If you’re looking to show off multiple photos from a certain event like your last family vacation, or even your wedding, canvas wall displays are truly the way to go. Our canvas wall displays consist of 3 to 9 individual canvases of differing sizes, and allow you to create a dynamic and unforgettable way to showcase your memories. 

If you’re in the market to display multiple photos all in one place, but don’t have the luxury of a large amount of wall space, our custom canvas collages are for you. They even allow you to put up to 16 photos all on one canvas! We offer 8 unique collage designs so you can pick the perfect one for your story and photos. 

One of our newest products, canvas triptychs, is simply the most unique way to display your favorite photo. A triptych consists of 3 large individual canvases that work in unison to showcase one huge image. Originally created as a way to transport large religious artwork, the triptych has recently gained a solid foothold in the modern art world, and is now one of the most popular ways to display fine art photography and artwork. Our easy online canvas triptych designer makes it easy to upload your photo and see an instant preview of your image as a triptych canvas print.

It all starts with our canvas. Our custom cotton blended canvas, woven in Austin Texas, ensures incredible image sharpness and ensures that your rich and vibrant colors won’t fade.

This lightning-fast speed means we can apply large discounts to every single order. Meaning you get a personalized museum-quality art for a wallet-friendly price, created with just your smartphone.

Once your photo is uploaded, we’ll recommend a canvas print size specifically tailored to your image. Of course, you’re also free to choose from our collection of over 1,000 canvas sizes.

For example, you can choose from our standard .75 inch frame depth, or upgrade to our 1.5 inch depth to make your photo stand out even further. Also, you can customize your image wrap to be black, white, grey or mirrored!

Once your order is complete, we’ll be hard at work turning your photo into a piece of art, and you’ll have a wall ready canvas at your door in just a matter of days! Don’t forget to send us a photo of your new canvas hanging on your wall to info@canvasprints.com to get a free $10 gift card for your next canvas! 

FAQ - How To Take Better Smartphone Photos 

Because mobile photography has been becoming so extremely popular, there are now plenty of ways to take your smartphone photography game to the next level. Here’s a couple ways to take even better photos on your phone. 

Use A Third Party Camera App

While the standard camera app allows you to take great pictures already, using a third party camera app can give you even more control over your images. Check out apps like Adobe Lightroom, VSCO, Darkr, and Pro Camera to control camera settings like your shutter speed, ISO, and aperture.

Use A Tripod 

One of the best ways to get sharp, in-focus photos is by keeping your camera as still as possible! The easiest way to achieve this is by getting a mini smartphone tripod. Super portable and easy to use, they make getting sharp shots and taking larger group photos much more convenient. No more leaning your phone against a rock! 

Take Photos In Good Light

Pretty much any experienced photographer will tell you the key to getting good photos is understanding light! Better light = better photos! If you’re shooting indoors, try to take photos next to a window, and maximize your light sources by turning on any available light lights in your room. When outdoors, you’ll find that often the best lighting occurs around sunrise and sunset, when the sun is not directly overhead. These times provide for softer, “golden” light that will make your photos look dreamy!

Take Photos In Both Orientations

When taking pictures with our phones, it’s easy to only shoot in portrait orientation, or vertically. You’ll find that you can often capture much more of your scene when you rotate your phone and shoot in landscape orientation, or horizontally! It’s a good idea to always take a few in each orientation!
