Want to know the best canvas print companies? I’ve ordered from most of them so this post will review and compare the bestg photo to canvas print companies and which is the best value!

*POST UPDATED NOVEMBER 2017*

I. Love. Canvases. 

No, really. I LOVE canvas prints. They are beautiful and big and amazing and I have kind of an addiction to ordering photos on canvas. We have, and this is not a joke, close to 15 canvases throughout our home. That’s a lot of canvases (at least in my opinion). Canvases are like ARTWORK! But personal! They can really transform a room.

After having tried a bunch of different companies (and being sent a couple canvases for review with a couple other companies), I thought it would behoove me to share my thoughts / opinions / and experiences with the different companies I have tried and used and share with you the best canvas prints.

I’ll go over each company, quality of canvas, ease of ordering, speed of shipping, customer service (if applicable), price point, etc. and then at the end, I’ll tell you which companies are my favorite and which to stay away from.

I should also add that these really do not compare to ordering a canvas from a professional company through a wedding or professional photographer. While some of our canvases are professional images that I ordered myself, I wish I would have ordered more through our photographer. Not only to get the best quality, but also to support her!

CanvasHQ:

I just recently learned about Canvas HQ and they have quickly become my new FAVORITE best canvas prints company… BY FAR!!! Kristy at CanvasHQ helped me to design 14 (yes, FOURTEEN) canvases to decorate the walls of my sister’s new bakery in Jamestown, North Carolina!

• Quality of canvas: AMAZING. The wrap job on the canvases is tight and seamless. The print quality is PHENOMENAL.
• Ease of Ordering: Quick, fast, and easy. One thing that I also love is that you have the option to get previews and proofs for every canvas. This was especially important for me as we were doing FOURTEEN canvases and so I wanted to make sure they all looked great.
• Shipping: INSANELY FAST. I ordered the canvases on a Wednesday, got proofs in a couple days, and had the canvases on our doorstep within a week or so!
• Customer Service: THE BEST. Kristy even reached out to me because a couple of the sizes of canvases were not right for the way the image was actually oriented. So, she sent me a proof and said, “You know, I actually think “X” size would be better for this particular image. And then we made adjustments. She really went above and beyond! Another thing I love is that CanvasHQ will also help you design a gallery wall or help you with designing an interior space! I LOVE that they provide this service.
• Price Point: Very reasonable! AND, because they are AWESOME, Canvas HQ has even provided my readers with an EXCLUSIVE deal… just use the code “stillbeingmolly” at checkout and that gives you 35% off your order with free shipping… ANYTIME. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!
• Also, I have to say that I love that CanvasHQ is a family owned company that really values their customers! That is SO evident to me and I just love them for it!!

Here are some more canvases I ordered from CanvasHQ… pictures, admittedly, do not do these canvases justice!!!

Canvas on Demand:

(Review updated November 2017)

I have ordered A LOT of canvases from Canvas On Demand. They run specials all the time, so I have acquired quite a few canvases from them over the year. They are also the company that Extreme Home Makeover uses. I will say that I love this company for a lot of reasons… one of them is the owner of the company actually goes to my church. AWESOME dude. Good people.

• Quality of canvas: I recently ordered from Canvas on Demand again (November 2017) and I am BLOWN AWAY by the quality. They have really upped their game in the last few years and the canvases are beautiful. Excellent, professional print quality.
• Ease of Ordering: Very easy! Love that they have so many options and even gallery wall suggestions.
• Shipping: FAST. Like, crazy fast. I recently ordered canvases and received them within a week! I know this is probably not the norm, but I was impressed.
• Customer Service: THE BEST.
• Price Point: Middle of the road… I will say they run specials a lot and so I always am on the lookout for those. RIGHT NOW – Canvas on Demand is offering my readers 50% off their order using coupon code “50MOLLY” through December 4th, 2017.

This wedding portrait canvas is from Canvas on Demand:

CANVAS CHAMP:

I have ordered from Canvas Champ and had GREAT experiences. I have to say, the quality of the printing is amazing. Colors are vibrant and true to color, there’s not any pixelation or feathering (which can happen on canvases), and it looks clear as can be. 

But, honestly, what I love most is how TIGHTLY WRAPPED the canvas is. Seriously – it almost looks as if the canvas has been printed directly on the wood. That’s how tight the wrap is. Pictures don’t really do it justice.  The pricing is also good, too. It’s not the most expensive company and it’s not the cheapest company, but you’re getting a high quality, professional looking canvas for a great and fair price. Canvas Champ does run a lot of coupon codes, so that is super helpful!

• Quality of Canvas: GREAT quality and tightly wrapped
• Ease of Ordering: Very easy to navigate and use website.
• Shipping: They were fast for me, but I have heard from others that this is not the case.
• Price point: Great prices – they also run a ton of BOGO deals! Highly recommend.

*UPDATE NOVEMBER 2016 – I ordered from MyPix2 Canvas years ago and had a very good experience at the time. HOWEVER, I have heard from MULTIPLE people now that they are under new management and are no longer a quality company. I have heard so many complaints about them and can no longer recommend My Pix 2 Canvas. Bummer!!!

My Pix 2 Canvas: Another one I got a deal off of Groupon for… their HQ is local to North Carolina (as is COD).

• Quality of canvas: GOOD quality. Not excellent, but good. The colors are a little muted and the canvas is a little “shiny,” but for the price, it’s good.
• Ease of Ordering: Easy online ordering system. Also they have a cool “preview” feature where you can see how big it will look on your wall.
• Shipping: FAST. Faster than COD. REALLY fast.
• Customer Service: Eh, okay. Good not great.
• Price Point: My Pix2Canvas is pretty comparable to Canvas on Demand in price. They also run specials a lot online. Find a coupon code!

This canvas is from My Pix 2 Canvas:

The three canvases on the left (in the right image) are from Canvas on Demand. The boots picture is from MyPix2Canvas.

Just look at how bright and vibrant the colors are! I LOVE my Canvas on Demand prints.

Don’t know the name of this company…

I just wanted to show you… this canvas was actually ordered for us by our wedding photographer Katelyn James. I don’t know the name of the professional printing company she uses (it’s exclusive to photographers). However, it’s helped me get a good perspective on “professional” quality. It’s obviously an amazing quality canvas… the best honestly. Canvas on Demand’s quality is pretty close to this.

Canvas People: Canvas People runs specials all the time for a *free* 8×10 photo… all you have to do is pay the shipping. So I ordered this 8×10 B&W wedding photo. I can see why they offer it for free… Don’t get me wrong, I love the photo… BUT…

• Quality of canvas: Not great. The colors are “fuzzy” – even in black and white. And the canvas is super shiny… makes the picture look weird in certain light. I’m glad it was only an 8×10 because I think any larger would be really bad. And the canvas was free. So there’s that.
• Ease of Ordering: Website is a little dated in general.
• Shipping: Normal.
• Price Point: Cheap. Too cheap in my opinion.

CanvasPOP: CanvasPOP was the first company to do “Instagrams on Canvas” and they ran a special about two years ago and so I ordered two Instagrams on canvas.

These are my CanvasPOP Instagrams on canvas:

• Quality of canvas: They’re Instagrams so they’re vintage. 🙂 Haha but seriously, they’re pretty good. I think the fact that it’s an OLD iPhone pic on a canvas and still clear is great!!!
• Ease of Ordering: VERY easy. Love their website.
• Shipping: A little slow – took about 5-6 weeks.
• Price Point: A little on the pricier side, but they run specials A LOT! CanvasPOP

These canvases in the nursery are from MyPix2Canvas:

Printcopia: I was sent this 8×10 canvas for review back in November of 2012. I wrote a review on it here. Honestly at the time I did like it, and I do like it now… BUT, I hadn’t compared it to many other canvas companies at the time. It’s a good company, not great. Now that I’ve tried so many different canvas companies, I have a more “diverse” perspective… if that makes sense.

**Updated… Printcopia is now Easy Canvas Prints.

• Quality of canvas: Decent. Not the best. Not the worst. The canvas is a little shiny (as you can see in the picture), but it doesn’t affect the quality too too much.
• Ease of Ordering: Super easy.
• Shipping: Super fast.
• Price Point: Reasonable. They run specials a lot and have a lot of coupon codes out there.

Easy Canvas Prints: I was recently sent a 16×20 canvas from Easy Canvas Prints to review… my FIRST canvas picture of Lilly girl!

• Quality of canvas: REALLY good. Great, even. (And I SWEAR I am not just saying that). The colors are really crisp, the canvas isn’t shiny, the image doesn’t look pixelated. .
• Ease of Ordering: LOVED their ordering system. Really fast, quick, easy.
• Shipping: The fastest of them all. I ordered the canvas and it was ON MY DOORSTEP within a week. And this was around CHRISTMAS time!
• Price Point: Affordable. They also run a lot of good specials and coupon codes.

Closeup of the canvas material:

So, of the companies that I have used and have experience with, how would I rank them? I realize there are more companies than this… these are just the companies that I have used before and have experience with.

TIED FOR FIRST PLACE:   Canvas on Demand and Canvas HQ. I honestly can’t really pick a favorite. The quality of their canvases is AMAZING for the price and is almost as good as the professional quality canvas we got from our wedding photographer.

SECOND PLACE: CanvasPOP. Excellent quality. Great price.

THIRD PLACE: Canvas Champ and Easy Canvas Prints. Great online ordering system.

FOURTH PLACE: Printcopia. Okay quality. Okay price. Just okay all around. I realize this is a little different than what I thought in 2012… but I now have way more canvases and more to compare it to.

FIFTH PLACE: CanvasPeople.

*UPDATE NOVEMBER 2016 – I ordered from MyPix2 Canvas years ago and had a very good experience at the time. HOWEVER, I have heard from MULTIPLE people now that they are under new management and are no longer a quality company. I have heard so many complaints about them and can no longer recommend My Pix 2 Canvas. Bummer!!!

Other great canvas recommendations: Simple Canvas Prints, Great Big Canvas, Artzee Designs, Photo Canvas Land, Canvas Direct, and Pictorem Canvas Prints.

So, what about you? Are you a canvas addict like I am? Have you used any of these companies? What are the best canvas prints out there? Any company that I should check out?

**UPDATED: Here is a review of Artsy Couture, a full review of Canvas HQ, and a full review of Canvas Champ. 

*Full disclosure, I received canvases from CanvasHQ, Canvas Champ, Artsy Couture, MyPix2, and Easy Canvas Prints to review.
