Transferring your photos onto canvas - How is it done? What is the process?

Using your favourite, treasured family photographs to ornate the walls of your home is an old concept, yet transferring your photos onto canvas, (thanks to the mainstream introduction of digital photography) is a fairly new one.

Photo to canvas transfers look spectacular compared to other older methods of displaying photos and over the last few years the canvas print has gradually taken the place of large scale framed photographs as an effective and contemporary way to display your favourite images.

How do you transfer photos onto canvas?

The photo to canvas order process can be done in one of two ways. The first is by uploading a digital photograph via our website which will be assessed and edited, before sending you a preview of how your finished canvas will look. The second method is to post us a normal paper photograph which will be assessed, scanned and edited before being printed onto canvas.

Photos printed onto canvas have a unique look and feel and canvas is very durable and long lasting. A canvas print, given a coating of U.V lacquer, can last for up to 75 years without fading.

As well as transferring photos onto canvas, you can also find fantastic predesigned art prints on canvas (also known as giclee prints) which can be anything from modern iconic images through to fine art prints and digital art which is printed onto canvas.

Most commonly, family photographs or family portraits are the preferred source image used when making a canvas photo display. But if you are looking for something a little different then you can also get pop art canvas prints. Modern pop art designs printed onto canvas can be a very effective addition to your home, especially homes with a modern feel and contemporary decor.

Once you have chosen your picture, specified the size of the canvas you would like and selected your extras, the next step is to select your border options.
