How do I prepare my image for printing on canvas?

This is without a doubt our most-asked question. Its actually pretty easy once youve got the first one under your belt.

Gallery Wraps
You need 2 inches extra ON EACH SIDE for the wrap. So - a 16x16 finished size becomes a 20x20 when its submitted. Heres what you do:
1. Open a blank 20x20 file in Photoshop, 300 dpi (or the same dpi as your image). Bring your ruler guides in 2 inches from the top, bottom, left and right.
2. Place your file into this one on a new layer. What you see in the middle is the FACE of your canvas, and what is outside your guides is the wrap! EASY!
If you have enough real estate in your original file, great! If not, you can:
A. Add a colored or patterned border - ANY color or pattern. Add this extra space on the Canvas layer - not your image layer.
B. Add more space on the canvas layer and clone the sides. 

Standard Wraps
Same as above, only you need 1 inch extra on each side. The wrap does not have to be a color - the image can wrap as well.

If you do not feel comfortable formatting your image yourself, we can help! Just upload your image as is to the website and choose the crop you want for the front of the canvases using the editing tool. We will use any extra (if any) to create the sides.
