There is a quite wide range of canvas print sizes. The mounted ones are the most popular as they are pre-framed ready to hang anywhere. The photo is printed so that it will cover the sides too. That's why it's used on a bigger canvas.ClickScanShare.com's canvas photo print service makes sure that when the photo is wrapped around the frame, it will fit nicely without "cutting" parts of the photo.

Basically there are four steps to get a great canvas print when you're choosing an online print service: Selecting a good canvas that has extra space, reviewing the real sizes, cropping it to a precise size then previewing it, uploading it and adding it to your cart

You have to know that not all photos work great for mounted canvas. It's really important to choose high quality photos with a great resolution. A crystal-clear one will always look great on canvas, while one that's inadequate to begin with can't get fixed on canvas. Use images with the highest resolution setting on your camera. 

When it's wrapped, it has to maintain a good composition. Each print size corresponds to a certain mounted canvas. This is the size you actually want to get. Usually a mounted canvas print needs 1.75 extra inches that will be wrapped on each side. This means you'll need 3.5 inches both on the height and width. Those will be basically lost as they will need to be wrapped around the wooden frame to make it ready for you to hang it anywhere you want. For example, for a 20x30'' dimension, the print size will be 23.5x33.5''. This wrap width depends on the thickness of the frame.

Each lab needs correct pixels per inch in order to print it right, usually 300 or more.  Photos from modern camera phones are fine to use.  

Canvas prints are an exquisite way to transform a regular photo into a work of art that will be admired by everyone. As long as you have a high resolution photo and you respect the guidelines provided by the print service that you choose, you'll get a wonderful photo in a sophisticated and unusual type of print.
