How to Transfer a Photo to Canvas


In every person’s life there are a few special occasions they would like to remember forever. This could be the birth of a child or grandchild, a wedding, a christening or bar mitzvah, or perhaps a special anniversary. Whatever the memory, if we’re lucky enough, we get the perfect picture of the occasion.

And if we do capture that perfect picture, we might want to do something special with it, rather than hiding it in some dusty old photo album. That is why many people have decided to turn that favourite photo to canvas .

When we say canvas, we mean an actual painter’s canvas that can be displayed on the mantelpiece or hung on the wall. These canvases can be customized with regard to thickness (from .75” to 1.5”) or size (from 8” X 10” to 40” X 60”).

The companies that perform these services are easily found online. All you have to do is send them your favourite photos—either digitally, online, or you can mail your prints and they will transfer them onto the canvas of your choice and ship them to you usually within a week.

As you might expect, the cost of this service varies depending on the size of the canvas you select and the difficulty of the job. For example, if you are attempting to convert an older photograph to canvas form and the image is fuzzy, it may require a few touchups, which will likely cost you a bit more.
