Canvas print size guide
Image Guidelines
As a rule of thumb the largest size your image can be printed (in inches) can be determined by dividing the pixel height and width of your image by 70.
For example if your image is 1680 pixels by 1400 pixels, then the maximum recommended size it can be printed at is 24 inches by 20 inches. Using this guideline helps avoid any pixellation
You can also simply upload your image through our order system which will scan your image and give you a list of recommended sizes that will work well.
How big can my megapixel camera print?
For the most accurate advice you will need to know the height and width of your image in pixels. Alternatively we can make a rough estimate if you know the number of megapixels of the camera from which the picture was taken. Please also remember that our ordering system will take a quick scan of your image and only provide you with sizes that we recommend will work well.
If you have set your digital camera to take photos at its maximum quality/size then you should be able to get a rough idea of maximum print size from the following list.
- 3 Megapixel = 2048pixels x 1536pixels | approx 20inch x 28inch canvas print
- 4 Megapixel = 2448pixels x 1632pixels | approx 24inch x 32inch canvas print
- 5 Megapixel = 2580pixels x 2048pixels | approx 28inch x 36inch canvas print
- 6 Megapixel = 3000pixels x 2000pixels | approx 28inch x 40inch canvas print
- 7 Megapixel = 3072pixels x 2304pixels | approx 32inch x 44inch canvas print
- 8 Megapixel = 3456pixels x 2304pixels | approx 32inch x 48inch canvas print
- 10 Megapixel = 3648pixels x 2736pixels | approx 40inch x 48inch canvas print
