Can I spread my image across multiple canvases of different sizes?
Certainly! We have lots of creative layouts and configurations available for multi-canvas installations. Reach out via chat or contact us at 1-866-619-9574 or support@canvaspop.com for more details.
What kind of laminate/protection do you add to the canvas?
Every canvas we create is treated with an ultra-protective UV-matte laminate. This means your print will never crack, flake, fade, or bubble. Guaranteed for life.
Do you sell large canvas prints?
We sure do! Oversized prints are our specialty and an excellent wall-art option that’s quite easy to achieve. We can print up to 40"×72". Custom oversized prints are available too. We're here to help you choose the right photo to make your big, beautiful custom canvas print come to life. Chat with us to see how we can help!
Do you have other options for border colors besides black and white?
Yup, just contact us and let us know your preference.
How much does a canvas print cost?
The cost varies depending on the size, edge, and frame you choose but canvas prints start at $54.00 USD for a 8"×10" with a 0.75" gallery wrap.
What is a canvas print?
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.
What is archival canvas?
Archival canvas is a specific type of canvas that is made to last a lifetime when printed with a giclee method. Most inexpensive canvas is full of harmful optical brighteners to produce a brighter canvas but this can drastically reduce its lifespan before it begins to crack or fade. Our canvas uses minimal brighteners to ensure you still get that same amazing brightness while maintaining a 100+ year archival guarantee.
How do I clean a canvas print?
If you accidentally spill something on your canvas, we recommend dabbing it with a moist cloth. Only rub if dabbing isn't proving successful.
What size canvas print should I get?
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 36"×54" first and go from there!
How much of my image will I lose if I choose the photo wrap option?
That depends on the depth of photo wrap selected: 0.75" is about 1 inch per side and 1.25" is about 1.5 inches per side. If you'd like to add a bleed we recommend at least that much, but you can always choose the black or white border option as well.
Can I add text to my image?
Yes! Simply choose the "Touch Up" option from the Services tab and include the text, font, color, and placement in the textbox. Our designers will add it for you and send you a proof when it's done so you can approve the design.
What is a giclee canvas print?
A giclee canvas print is a canvas print that has been made with an inkjet printer using archival methods and tools. This means that our canvas material, inks, and methods all guarantee you a print that will last a lifetime.
When I select a size am I selecting the frame or the image size?
When placing an order the dimensions you put in will always be for the image itself. The frame and/or mat will be in addition to the size you've selected.
How do I take the matting into account when measuring for my framed prints?
Our framed prints are crafted with a 1.25” wood frame and we offer a 2” mat border depth. The image you uploaded will be printed at the dimensions you selected in our builder. If you choose a mat there will be an additional 4.5" added to the total height and width of your print. Without a mat, there will be an additional 2.5" to the height and width of your selected size.
How much is a framed print?
The cost varies depending on the size, frame, and mat you choose but framed prints start at $79.00 USD for an 8"×10" without a mat.
What do the frames look like?
Our frames are made of solid pine and come in espresso brown, black, and white.
What is a framed print?
A framed print is your image printed using inkjet printers onto an archival lustre paper. We then insert it into a frame with low-glare plexiglass put on top of the image. You also have the option of a 2.5" mat to include around the image.
How do I clean a framed print?
A damp cloth should be all you need to clean the outside of a framed print! If you have any issues behind the glass please contact our customer service team at support@canvaspop.com. We advise against opening the frame due to how they’re sealed.
Do you offer framed print collages?

What if I don't see a layout I like?
You can always pick different sizes as we have layouts made specifically for each ratio. One may work better for what you had in mind.
How much is a photo collage?
The cost will vary depending on the size and product (framed or canvas collage) you choose but photo collage canvas prints start at $54.00 USD for a 10"×8" canvas print, gallery-wrapped on a 0.75" depth frame.
Do you offer custom triptychs if I want it split across more panels? What if I want one panel to be taller than the rest?
Yes absolutely! Just reach out to our customer service team at support@canvaspop.com and we can set up something custom for you!
How large can a triptych print go?
We can print each panel at 38"×72" for a total of 72"×114" if you have the image to support it.
What is a triptych print?
A triptych print is an image that continues across three individual canvas panels. These three pieces are to be hung with a gap between them to create a unique look. Normally these three panels would all be the same size making up one large print. However, if you’re looking to create a triptych print with custom sizes or a multi-panel layout beyond three pieces please reach out to our customer support team.
What if my image isn’t working?

Can I hang my artwork outside or in a bathroom?

What is metal print wall art?
Metal wall art prints are decorative artworks printed directly on metal sheets that are designed to be hung on walls. Using state of the art print technology your photos are infused onto coated aluminum for a compelling, vibrant, and durable presentation.
How do you hang metal prints?
When hanging metal wall art prints, it's important to consider the weight of the print and the type of wall it will be hung on. There is a hidden fixture on the reverse side of each print that floats the metal print off the wall. Larger prints come equipped with a special 3/4" inset frame and mounting hardware to ensure they are securely attached to the wall. Where smaller traditional sized prints come with 1/2" inset bracket making it easy to hang on a hook or nail. Styles and selection vary based on the size of the print you order.
