Canvas Print Size Guide: Which Size Is Right for Your Wall?
Choosing the right canvas size can feel overwhelming when you're ordering online. You can't hold it up to your wall first. This guide breaks down each size so you can pick with confidence.
8×10" — Perfect for a Desk or Shelf
About the size of a standard piece of paper. This is the most compact option — ideal for a desk, bookshelf, nightstand, or as part of a gallery wall grouping. It's also the most affordable entry point at $45 (or $69 bundled with a digital portrait).
Best for: small spaces, gifts, desks, shelves, gallery wall arrangements.
12×16" — The Most Popular Size
This is our most-ordered size, and for good reason. It's large enough to appreciate the detail in the portrait, but small enough to fit almost anywhere — above a nightstand, in a hallway, on a bathroom wall, or as part of a larger arrangement.
At $65 (or $89 bundled), it hits the sweet spot between impact and affordability. If you're unsure, go with this one.
Best for: bedrooms, hallways, home offices, above furniture.
18×24" — Statement Piece
Now we're talking. At 18×24", the portrait becomes a focal point in any room. This size works beautifully above a couch, over a fireplace, or as the centerpiece of a living room wall. You'll notice details in the brushwork and lighting that smaller sizes can't show.
Priced at $94 (or $118 bundled). Worth it if you want the portrait to be the first thing people see when they walk in.
Best for: living rooms, above couches, dining rooms, entryways.
24×36" — Gallery-Sized Showstopper
This is the full gallery experience. A 24×36" canvas dominates a wall and turns your pet's portrait into genuine wall art. It's the size you'd see in an actual gallery or museum.
At $134 (or $158 bundled), it's an investment — but it's also the size that gets the most reactions from visitors. "Wait, is that a painting of your dog?" Yes. Yes it is.
Best for: large living rooms, above king beds, entryway feature walls, high-ceiling spaces.
How to Measure Your Wall Space
A simple trick: cut a piece of paper or cardboard to the size you're considering and tape it to the wall. Step back and see how it feels. Most people underestimate how much space they have — when in doubt, go one size up.
Leave at least 6-8 inches between the canvas and any furniture below it. The center of the canvas should be roughly at eye level (about 57 inches from the floor).
