How to Choose an Art Print Size
A good print size starts with your wall and the shape of the artwork. You do not need to force every image into a standard frame size.
1. Measure the space you want to fill
Measure the clear wall area and note furniture, switches and nearby artwork. Mark a possible outside size with removable paper or tape suitable for your wall, then step back to your normal viewing position.
2. Keep the artwork’s proportions
The print studio preserves the image’s width-to-height ratio. For example, a 3:2 landscape image at 30 inches wide is 20 inches high. A square artwork stays square. A different shape would require cropping or borders; discuss those changes with the studio rather than assuming they are included.
3. Allow for the finished frame
Print dimensions describe the image, not necessarily the outside of a framed piece. Mats and frames add to the overall size. If the finished work must fit a precise space, contact us with that outside measurement before ordering.
4. Inspect detail at the intended size
Use the artwork detail view, especially for maps, lettering and faces. Available sizes depend on the individual source image. For your own photograph, upload the original file rather than a screenshot or a copy downloaded from a social post. A larger pixel count alone does not guarantee sharp detail.
5. Review the selection before checkout
Confirm the artwork, exact dimensions, finish and pickup or delivery choice. A room preview helps you explore appearance, but the listed print dimensions are the measurements used for the order.
