Can I reprint any photo?
The Copyright Act protects photographers by giving the author of a photograph the exclusive right to reproduce the photograph. This includes the right to control the making of copies. If your photograph was taken by a professional photographer, you may need to obtain a release.
How long will it take to receive my canvas?
Most orders are generally delivered within 10-12 business days. Production times may vary if the uploaded photo does not meet our resolution requirements. Please allow additional time if you applied an enhancement or special effect to your photo. Please note that during holidays, delivery may take slightly longer due to increased order volume. Please allow up to 12-14 business days during peak holiday seasons.
If you have not received your tracking information from us after 10 days, there might be an issue with your photo. Please contact us at Support@CanvasPeople.co.uk. Low resolution or poor cropping may trigger an automatic email to be sent to you requesting a new photo. These emails sometimes get caught in spam filters, so we suggest you make CanvasPeople@eml.canvaspeople.co.uk a "trusted sender" to ensure you receive this important correspondence from us.
What delivery options are available?
We deliver using standard postage by Royal Mail and FedEx UK. Most of our orders are delivered in approximately 10-12 business days. Please allow additional time if you applied an enhancement or special effect to your photo, or we will notify you if there is a problem with the photo submitted. Please note that during holidays, delivery may take slightly longer due to increased order volume. To ensure your canvas arrives when you need it, order approximately 12-14 business days before you'd like your product(s) to arrive.

Product Options
How thick are the canvases?
All of our canvases are gallery wrapped around a stretcher bar and most are available in both 1.9cm and 3.2cm thickness.
What size photo is acceptable?
Images that are 2MB or higher are great, and images under 2MB but higher than 700KB are almost always workable. Please note we do not accept images larger than 26mb.
Helpful Hint: The resolution from most digital cameras work perfectly for our canvas products. You can check the file size by right clicking on your image, and then clicking "properties" where the size will be displayed. Compare that number to the recommended resolutions listed above.
Note: Mobile phone images may not meet our minimum resolution requirements. Please upload the largest image possible to ensure the highest resolution.
How will my photo be wrapped?
Your photo will be wrapped around the sides of the canvas stretcher bar. Make sure the main subject of your photo is within the blue border (this is the front face of your canvas). We can also add a black or white border for you. Please make sure to select your wrapping preference when placing your order.
Note: As you change the canvas size, be sure to check out the wrapping preview again as it will change based on the size selected.
Please allow 3.8cm – 5.08cm for the canvas wrapping. If something is cut off or wrapped around the sides, you may want to edit your photo using our cropping tool or upload a different photo.
What is a floating frame?
By adding a floating frame, a perception of depth is created by the shadow around your photo. This is the same technique that Art Galleries have used for years to draw additional attention to their stunning works of art. The lighting creates a dramatic effect and calls attention to the image in a sophisticated way. Similarly, CanvasPeople’s floating frames will let your photo speak for itself, providing a professional and polished finishing touch. Frames are available for all gallery wrapped canvas sizes.

Will my canvas appear slightly different than my photo?
RGB Colours - what you see on screen
CMYK Colours - how printer ink may appear
Yes, they may appear slightly different. Keep in mind our high-quality commercial canvas printing process utilises CMYK colours. Unlike commercial printers, household printers and monitors use RGB.
CanvasPeople will reproduce colour from your submitted photograph file as closely as possible but cannot exactly match colour and density because of limitations in the printing process, monitor calibration and image resolution requirements. You most likely won't notice this kind of colour shift in a colour photograph. It is more likely to happen if you pick a very rich, vibrant colour for a background or some other element of your layout.
What colour profile does CanvasPeople print in?
CanvasPeople recommends images using the sRGB colour space. We also recommend using RGB colour mode for uploaded images. Our printers default to an sRGB colour profile and adjust to CMYK for printing.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards as well as PayPal.

Can I hang my artwork outside?
Your canvas should be hung indoors only. While we treat your canvas with a special protective coating to safeguard against cracking, fading and other sorts of damage, no artwork should ever be hung in direct sunlight.
Can I hang my artwork in a bathroom or humid area?
Because canvas is a natural product that will shrink and swell due to significant changes in temperature or humidity, it should not be hung in a bathroom or directly over a heat source.
How do I clean/maintain my canvas?
The best way to clean your canvas is with a soft duster.
Do you offer discounts for designers, artists or photographers?

No, the price paid will not be included. To order as a gift, just specify the recipient's address in the delivery details at checkout.
How do I know if the photo I want to use is of high enough quality?
No worries. We'll tell you. When uploading your image, if the resolution size is too small you will receive a message prompting you to upload a new image. If your photo has a slight blur to the naked eye, our system will not pick this up and your canvas will also have the slight blur.
