About Canvas Prints at print24

Canvas prints have become increasingly popular in the age of digital photography — and for good reason. While artists have painted on canvas for centuries, now anyone can turn a favorite image into a beautiful work of art.

At print24, your canvas print is produced with care and quality in mind. From the printing process to the stretching on the wooden frame, everything is done professionally in-house using modern printing technology. The result: stunning color reproduction and high-end materials at fair prices.

Canvas prints from your favorite photo

You don’t have to be a professional artist. Just choose a great photo — maybe a wedding moment, a vacation snapshot, or a portrait of your kids or pets. Upload it, design your layout in the online editor, and place your order. Your canvas will be printed and delivered right to your door.

Canvas prints for artists and designers

Canvas prints are a popular decor trend, especially for creative professionals. Whether you’re a designer, artist, or gallery, you can print custom slogans, graphics, or artwork in high quality. Bulk orders of up to 250 canvas prints are no problem.

Looking for a stylish display tip? Instead of hanging your canvas on a wall, place it on a shelf or sideboard for a more flexible and elegant look.

Great for offices, clinics, and waiting rooms

Canvas prints also make excellent wall decor for professional spaces. In clinics or practices, they offer a warm and personal touch. In maternity wards, for example, canvas prints of newborns create a joyful and comforting atmosphere.

Style tip: Use a floater frame (also called a shadow gap frame) to give your canvas an even more polished look. No glass needed — just clean visual depth.

Sizes & Frame Options

Print24 offers two types of stretcher frames:

• Standard frame (20 mm deep)
  300×300 mm (square) | 300×400 mm (portrait) | 500×500 mm (square)
• Thick frame (40 mm deep)
  (Only availabe through the Print24 professional shop)
  500×500 mm (square) | 400×1000 mm (wide panoramic) | and other options

Thicker frames give your artwork more depth and presence. The image wraps around the edges for a beautiful 3D effect.

How are canvas prints made?

Each print consists of a high-quality artist canvas stretched over a wooden frame (called a "stretcher frame"). The canvas is printed using 4-color CMYK printing, which gives strong, vivid colors for photos, graphics, and illustrations.

The frame is built from interlocking wooden bars and tightened with wedges — the same traditional technique used by painters for centuries. Today, instead of nails, staples are used to attach the canvas. Once mounted, the canvas stays in place and cannot be swapped out like a photo frame, making each piece a unique creation.
