Not necessarily. Even if the pixel count falls slightly short of what’s recommended, the sheer quality of our cutting-edge printing facilities should compensate for this. For example, an 8” x 8” photo canvas will do just fine with a 310 x 310 px image – but a framed photo of the same size will need 420 x 420 px.
What pixel size should my canvas be?
Pixel sizes: Use around 500-1000 pixels for little easy paintings where the final quality doesn’t matter (e.g. sketches, stuff you’re just going to post online) Use 2000-5000 pixels a side for the stuff you might quite like to print, or want to turn into a Proper Painting and need some decent detail for.
Does resolution affect canvas size?
As a general rule of thumb, performance is effected by the resolution of the images you are drawing and the size of the canvas.
What resolution should I use for canvas?
Pick a photo with a resolution of at least 13.2 megapixels, i.e. an image size of at least 3,100×4,480 pixels. For a smaller canvas format you will need an image with a significantly lower resolution.

What size canvas should I paint on?
If you’re unsure of which size you prefer, stick with medium sizes between 8″ x 10″ and 16″ x 20″. These sizes are versatile and affordable enough that you can try out several techniques and see which size works for you, or if you are craving a larger or smaller surface.
Is 300 dpi or 600 dpi better?
Generally, 600 DPI scans are your best bet if you’re scanning family photographs for preservation. A lower resolution like 300 DPI will result in less image detail, but it will save you time and storage space.
Is 300 dpi good for canvas?
It is generally a safe rule of thumb to assume nothing less than 300ppi is going to be good enough but 240ppi and 180 ppi are acceptable resolutions where the viewing distances are sufficiently wide enough to assist the observer with seeing a continuous colour image.

What DPI should I use for canvas printing?
This is the standard format and the best combination of file size and image quality. For this reason, 95% of all canvases are printed from a JPEG file. The printing results of the photo canvas are already very good for a resolution of 100 dpi, especially when the compression rate is set at the highest quality level.
What size should a large canvas image be?
Large Canvas Prints Have your photo or digital art printed onto canvas for artwork displays. Digital photos of five megapixels (2560 x 1920 pixels) or more will generally work well. For canvas prints larger than 36×48, it works better to print your canvas and ship it to you rolled up.
Why are my canvas blurry?

Is 600 dpi good for digital art?
600 dpi is good for printing things. As for size, I usually use A5 (1748 x 2840 pixels) or, rarely, A4 (2840 x 3508). However, many sites for posting art have a recommended size that you should look out for.
Why does my digital art look blurry?
Do your paintings look a little blurry around the edges? Chances are, you’re over-using soft brushes, without going in and defining enough sharp details with a hard brush. Using ONLY hard edge brushes won’t work either though – you’ll lose the smooth edges necessary to create soft transitions and gradients.

How large can you print a 300 dpi image?
But it typically will also allow changing that dpi, called scaling (to fit the paper size). For example, if an image dimension is 3000 pixels, then specifying that file number as 300 dpi printing resolution will print it to be 3000/300 = 10 inches print size (even if the paper is 4×6).
