Imagine transforming your favorite photos into stunning canvas wall art that looks like it belongs in a gallery.
With our new Framed Canvas Prints, you can do just that. We're taking the familiar concept of canvas prints and pushing it to the next level with true museum-quality materials and craftsmanship.
The result is a framed canvas piece that showcases your image in vivid color and fine detail, ready to hang and enjoy with no fuss. In this post, we’ll explore what makes our framed canvas prints special and how they can help you rethink what’s possible with wall decor.
Everything You Need to Know About Canvas Prints
Canvas has been a preferred medium for artists since the Renaissance, lending a classic, textured look to artwork. Our framed canvas prints combine this timeless appeal with the polished look of a custom frame, allowing you to tap into this artistic tradition for your home or office décor.
Here’s a quick summary of what to expect, and why you should frame with us if you are thinking about printing on canvas:
Easy Customization - Whether you have a vacation photo or a high-res copy of a classic painting, our online interface makes it crazy simple to get it framed. Just upload your image, choose the ideal canvas size and frame style, and check out – all in minutes. We’ll deliver your custom framed canvas to in about a week, ready to hang.
An Elevated Take on Canvas Prints - You may have seen cheap stretched canvas or unframed canvas wraps before. The Level Frames version is different. These are museum-quality framed canvas prints, meaning every component – from the premium canvas fabric to the archival inks to the hardwood frame – is of the highest caliber. The result is a truly upscale piece of art that will have you reconsidering what a canvas print can be.
Premium Quality Materials - We use a heavyweight 425 gsm poly-cotton canvas and archival pigment inks for vibrant, sharp colors that won’t fade. Each print is then stretched or dry-mounted and framed in solid wood, for a finished piece built to last decades.
No-Glare, Gallery Look - High quality canvas prints don’t require any glass or acrylic cover. No glass means you can enjoy your art from any angle without reflections. The textured matte canvas surface gives a more artistic, glare-free viewing experience.

The Museum-Quality Difference
You might be familiar with inexpensive canvas prints from big-box stores or online print shops – those canvas pictures that come stretched on a simple frame, often promoted as budget-friendly décor.
While those can be fun, our framed canvas prints are a different breed entirely. We’ve taken the concept of a canvas print and elevated every aspect to create a product that belongs alongside fine art in its quality and presentation.
Not Your Average Print
The canvas we use is a heavyweight 425 gsm poly-cotton blend – thick and durable, so it stays tight and resists deformation. Another major difference is in the printing process and inks. Budget canvas prints often suffer from dull colors or fuzzy details because they use lower-resolution printing and dye-based inks that can look washed out or even fade over time.
We only use state-of-the-art, color-calibrated giclée printers with archival pigment inks. Giclée printing produces crisp details and beautifully saturated colors that do justice to your original image and are guaranteed not to fade for over 100 years in typical indoor conditions.
This means your framed canvas print won’t just look amazing out of the box; it will stay looking amazing for decades.
Framing & Presentation
Most unframed canvas wraps have the image just stretched around the edges, giving a casual, modern look.
We take it further by adding a custom decorative frame around the canvas, turning it into a true showpiece. The frame adds a polished border that can make the artwork stand out more distinctly on your wall.
You will find a curated range of frame styles – from classic gallery black or white, to rustic farmhouse wood tones, to sleek modern metallics – so you can choose the look that best complements your image and interior design. This level of customization is usually not available with bargain prints which often come in limited standard options.
In short, not all canvas wall art is created equal. The museum-quality approach means thicker canvas, richer inks, real wood frames, and careful craftsmanship at every step. The difference is something you can see and even feel when you hang the finished piece – it has a presence and authenticity that cheap canvas prints just can’t match.
If you’ve ever been underwhelmed by a low-cost canvas print that faded or felt disposable, our framed canvas prints will be a revelation you’ll be proud to display for years to come.
When to Choose Canvas for Your Photos and Art
If you already have framed photos or prints on your walls, adding a framed canvas print will fit right in and give a nice textural contrast (you’ll notice the canvas weave in contrast to smooth photo prints). And if you’re starting fresh, a framed canvas can be the anchor piece that sets a sophisticated tone.
One big benefit of canvas prints is that no glass or acrylic is needed at all. Your image is printed directly on the canvas, which is durable and protective. So when you hang a framed canvas print, there’s no reflective barrier between you and the artwork, and you can appreciate the image from any angle without catching reflections from windows or lamps. Some photographers and art collectors prefer canvas for bright rooms for this reason.
Cleaning a canvas print is also easy, simply provide a light dusting or a gentle wipe with a soft cloth (the canvas and ink are water-resistant, just avoid harsh chemicals). This simplicity makes framed canvas prints great for households with kids or high-traffic areas.
As far as subject matter, this is a format that can flatter all kinds of images. But there are a few categories of photos and art that particularly shine well on canvas.
If you have a photograph that almost looks like a painting – perhaps a heavily edited or filtered photo, an image of a textured subject, or a scan of a painting – canvas is the perfect medium. For example, a photograph of an old barn or a close-up of a flower might have lots of texture and color that canvas complements. Even black-and-white artistic shots take on a new character on, as the fiber adds a slight film-like grain to the image.
Some other great uses cases for framed canvas prints:
Landscapes and Travel Photography - If you have a beautiful shot from a vacation – say a sunset over the mountains or a city skyline – printing it on canvas can amplify its artistic quality. Canvas wall art is often associated with landscapes and nature photography for good reason, as the medium brings out the colors of sunsets, the textures of forests, and the grandeur of wide panoramas. With a framed canvas, you also get to complement the image with a frame style (maybe a rustic wood for that mountain scene, or a sleek black for the cityscape) that enhances the mood. The result is a piece that wouldn’t look out of place in a gallery of fine art photography.
Reproductions of Paintings - Here’s where things get really fun. You can use our framed canvas prints to create reproductions of famous paintings or any artwork you admire. Because we print on actual canvas, the final product has a very authentic feel, similar to the original painting. This is an especially great idea if you love classic art. In fact, many public domain paintings (think Van Gogh, Monet, Vermeer, etc.) are available in high-resolution online. We have a curated a number of sites where you can find and download public domain art and photos. If you can't find something specific you are looking for, drop us a line and we'll see if we can find it for you.
Digital Art and Illustrations - If you’re an artist or just have a piece of digital artwork you love (perhaps from a favorite illustrator), canvas is an excellent choice for printing it. The canvas texture can give digital art a more tangible, painted feel. Our high-resolution printing ensures even fine line work or text in illustrations comes out crisp. And without glass, the colors in digital art – which are often vibrant – maintain their full impact. Framed canvas art is popular among illustrators and graphic artists as a way to present their work professionally. The wood frame adds a polished finish that can elevate a playful print into something sophisticated.
Family and Wedding Photos - The textured canvas surface can give personal photos a warm, soft look that’s very appealing for memories. A wedding photo, for example, printed large on canvas and framed elegantly, becomes a center-piece that feels like fine art in your home. The absence of glass means there’s nothing between you and that smiling moment. Skin tones come out wonderfully with our pigment inks, and the depth of canvas adds a subtle dimensionality. Many homeowners choose framed canvases for life’s big moments – they make stunning, heartfelt décor that’s also a conversation starter (“Wow, where did you get that done?”).
