If you shoot with a camera rather than a phone, 60 x 40 cm is the size that respects your framing. Nearly every DSLR and mirrorless camera produces a 3:2 image, and 3:2 is exactly what this canvas is - so what you saw through the viewfinder is what ends up on the wall. Nothing shaved off the sides to make it fit.
This is the size for above a console table, a 90 cm sideboard or a chest of drawers. The old decorating rule is that wall art should run about two thirds the width of the furniture underneath it, which puts 60 x 40 cm right where it should be over most single pieces. It also works as the centre canvas in a three-piece arrangement.
Because 3:2 is the native shape of almost every interchangeable-lens camera, your photo transfers without a single pixel being cut. Phone photos shot in the standard 4:3 setting will need a small trim off the top and bottom - the editor shows you the crop before you commit, so you can move it away from anyone’s head.
A 24 x 16 inch canvas works out at 61 x 40.6 cm, so this 60 x 40 cm is within a centimetre on both edges - and because both are exactly 3:2, a photo prepared for one drops onto the other with nothing changed at all. The two measuring systems arrived at the same shape from different directions. It does not always land that neatly: if you have been shopping for a high-street frame size instead, our 50x70 canvas print page explains which of our formats to order and what the crop costs you.
Aim for around 3543 x 2362 px, roughly 8.4 megapixels. Every current phone and camera manages that without breaking a sweat. Files from social media are the ones to watch: an image saved off Instagram or WhatsApp has usually been squeezed down and may not hold up at this size.
The canvas is tear-resistant and stretched by hand over a solid pine frame, so it stays taut instead of dimpling in the middle after a summer. We print with solvent-free inks, which means no odour and nothing you would worry about in a child’s room or around anyone with allergies.
| Compared with | How it differs |
|---|---|
| 40x30 | Two thirds the size and 4:3 rather than 3:2. Better for phone photos, less presence on a wall. |
| 75x50 | Same 3:2 shape, 15 cm wider. Identical crop, so you can switch between the two without reframing. |
| 60x30 | Same width, 10 cm shorter, and 2:1 rather than 3:2. A panoramic look for the same wall width. |

No. A 3:2 file - which is what nearly all DSLRs and mirrorless cameras produce - fills a 60 x 40 cm canvas exactly.
Almost precisely. 24 x 16 in works out at 61 x 40.6 cm, so if you have been shopping in inches, this is your size.
23.6 x 15.7 inches, which is why it is all but identical to the American 24x16 inch canvas.
Upload your photo, pick your edge design, and we will have it hand-stretched and on its way within 24 hours.
