What are the steps to print on a canvas from a smartphone?
Choose your favorite photo
The first step is to choose a photo from your smartphone. You can choose to take new photos or select your favorite photos from the camera roll on your phone. Any image works well with a canvas print, such as family photos, pet shots, and vacation snapshots. However, when selecting images for canvas prints, be sure to choose images with a higher resolution for better results. It will also be easier to modify and resize them.
The location in which you want to hang the painting also plays an important role in helping you choose the right picture. For example, a family picture might not look good in a guest room, and an abstract painting might not be an appropriate choice for a young child's room. So, choose wisely from your phone gallery to draw everyone's attention to your unique paintings on the wall.
Transfer the photos to your laptop
This is where the real work begins. Once you've chosen the photos you want to print, transfer them from your phone to your PC. Use a USB cable to connect the phone to your laptop. Your phone will ask for permission to give the computer access to the data in your phone. Select all the photos you want to print and move them to any desired folder on your PC.
Adjust image quality and resolution
Once you've selected the photo to print, you can use photo editing apps like Lightroom or Snapseed to improve its quality and make any necessary changes. Minor adjustments to lighting, contrast, exposure, and shadows can make a really impressive image improvement. You can also resize or crop the image to fit the dimensions of the canvas. When changing the proportions of your image, keep the canvas size in mind. It is usually preferable to enlarge the image to a size larger than the canvas. As a result, you can always reduce its size to fit the canvas while maintaining its sharpness.
Printed on a canvas board
Once the canvas and image are of the same size, move on to the next step; It is the print on the canvas. To do this, you first have to print the image on plain paper. Find a sheet of canvas that is a few centimeters larger. This allows you to correctly transfer the image and not leave empty spaces on the canvas on all sides. After follow these steps:
Apply a high-quality, medium-hold shine gel to the surface of the canvas; It's an essential step that ensures your photos print smoothly.
Place the image you printed on the fabric and fold the edges.
To set the image, press the paper you've placed onto the canvas until there are no wrinkles or bubbles.
Repeat the process until the page is completely smooth.
- Finally, let the paper dry for a few hours. You can leave it outside for at least 24 to 36 hours.
- Once the image is completely dry, use a damp sponge to dampen it, avoiding overuse of water, you just have to saturate it.
- Gently remove the paper using the rough part of the same wet sponge, do not press on the fabric as the ink may peel off.
- After removing the paper, the image will be neatly printed on the canvas.
Add the final aesthetic frills to the painting
After the painting is printed on canvas, there is an option to add frames to your painting. You can hang the canvas as is if you want to. However, there are many extras that depend on your room decor and preferences. For example, you can use wood and metal frames with glass covers to protect your canvas from any damage.

However, there are many extras that depend on your room decor and preference. For example, you can use wooden and metal frames with glass covers to protect your canvas from any damage. However, remember that frames take up extra wall space. On the other hand, thicker tires give a vintage look even though they take up more space. So, choose a good frame that goes well with the décor of your space.

Tips for getting the best quality canvases possible
Observe limits and packaging
When making canvas prints, the canvas is stretched over a hardwood frame which is usually ready to hang. This is called wrapping the fabric over the frame. Part of the original image may be lost during this process. So you have to pay attention to these details and leave space in the painting to turn around on the wooden frame.
Determine the size and shape of the canvas
This is a critical step to consider as it will affect the final result of your print. Take, for example, the image of people. When determining the appropriate canvas shape, choose a vertical rectangular frame to fit most of the shape of the focal point of the image. If the focus is mainly on the face or upper body, a square frame can be used. Portraits and landscapes are best placed on tall horizontal frames for maximum effect.
So, while choosing the shape of the canvas, keep in mind the position of the subject in the image and select the appropriate shape for it. For example, you should not choose square frames when your photos contain full-length individuals. Also, if you want to display a large portion of the image on the canvas, choose a rectangular canvas. In the event that you want to print a panoramic image or a landscape image on canvas , choose an extra large canvas format.
Set DPI to 300 or higher
This DPI setting indicates the number of dots the printer drops per square inch of an image. For accurate printing, make sure the DPI is set to at least 300. If you set it to a value that is too low, it will result in blurry and poor quality images. You can adjust the DPI of the images you want to print using Photoshop by following these steps:
- Go to File, and choose New.
- Set the resolution to 300 or higher.
- Select the units Pixels/Inch.
- Click OK.
