Custom canvas wall art from your photo. Upload one image and we print it onto satin-finish canvas with fade-resistant pigment inks, turning a favorite photo into a warm, textured piece for your wall. Canvas is the classic, painterly way to display a photo, and it suits everything from a single portrait to a room-defining statement piece.

Types of Canvas

Canvas comes in a few forms, and the right one depends on how you want to display it.

• Stretched (gallery-wrapped): the canvas is wrapped around a kiln-dried wood stretcher, with your image continuing around the side edges, so it arrives ready to hang with no separate frame. This is the most popular choice for a clean, finished look.
• Rolled: the printed canvas comes unstretched, ready for you to stretch or frame locally. A good fit if you already have a framer or want a custom frame.

Stretched canvas also comes in different wrap depths that change how far the piece stands off the wall. For how the two compare and which to choose, see rolled vs stretched canvas.

What Makes a Good Canvas Print

A canvas print should read clearly as canvas, with visible texture and color that lasts.

• Printed on satin-finish canvas that holds detail without the glare of glass, so the photo stays the focus.
• Fade-resistant pigment inks keep colors true over time in normal indoor light.
• Stretched formats are gallery-wrapped on a kiln-dried wood stretcher, so the canvas stays taut and flat on the wall.

Where Canvas Wall Art Looks Best

Canvas suits the rooms you live in. A larger piece above the sofa gives your living room a clear focal point, while a softer portrait or couple photo sets the tone over a bedroom dresser or headboard. The satin surface holds up to bright rooms without glare, so place it where you want the photo, not the frame, to anchor the wall.

Living Room

A larger canvas above the sofa or mantel anchors the room with a warm focal point. See our living room wall art guide for placement and sizing.

Bedroom

A softer portrait or couple photo suits the wall above a dresser or headboard. Our bedroom wall art guide covers what works over the bed.

Hallways and Groupings

Smaller canvases work well as a set down a hallway or up a staircase. For arranging several pieces, see how to build a gallery wall with photo prints.

Canvas or Another Material?

Canvas brings a warm, painterly texture that fits traditional rooms and gallery walls; metal and fine-art paper each read differently and suit different walls. There is no single right answer, only the one that fits your space. Still deciding the material? See how canvas compares to metal and fine-art paper.

What is the difference between rolled and stretched canvas?

Stretched canvas is wrapped on a wood frame and ready to hang; rolled canvas comes unstretched for you to stretch or frame yourself.

Is canvas a good choice for photos?
