A photo on canvas is a timeless way to bring memories or artwork to life on your wall. But how do you make sure the end result looks truly spectacular? In this article, we share our best tips for the perfect canvas result.
1. Choose the Right Photo
Not every photo is equally suited for canvas. Pay attention to the following:
- Resolution – The higher the resolution, the sharper the print. Ideally use photos of at least 300 DPI. At MakeMeFame, we automatically upscale your AI portraits to the optimal resolution, so you do not need to worry about that.
- Lighting – Well-lit photos produce the most beautiful results. Avoid underexposed or overexposed photos, as they lose detail on canvas.
- Composition – Keep the canvas edges in mind. With a gallery wrap, the edges of the image continue around the sides.
2. Choose the Right Size
The size of your canvas makes a big difference in how it comes across on the wall:
- Small (30x40 cm) – Ideal for a subtle accent or as part of a gallery wall with multiple pieces.
- Medium (50x70 cm) – The most popular choice. Large enough to impress but fits in virtually any space.
- Large (70x100 cm and up) – A true statement piece. Perfect above a sofa or bed as the room's focal point.
Tip: Measure Your Wall
Before ordering, measure the available space on your wall. Allow for at least 15 centimeters of space on each side for a balanced look. A canvas that is too large in a small space can be overwhelming, while one that is too small may get lost.
3. Where to Hang Your Canvas
The location affects how your canvas looks and how long it stays beautiful:
- Avoid direct sunlight – Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause colors to fade.
- Avoid humid rooms – Bathrooms and kitchens are not ideal due to moisture.
- Eye level – Hang your canvas at eye level, typically with the center at approximately 150 cm from the floor.
