Some of your favorite moments are already on your phone: a family vacation, your wedding day, or an everyday photo that always makes you smile. With the Shutterfly app<\/a>, you can turn those memories into a canvas print without moving your photos to a computer. Choose a design, upload your pictures, and customize the layout, size, and frame right from your phone.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to create a canvas print<\/a> in the Shutterfly app, from finding a template to reviewing your finished design.<\/p>\n

1. Find Canvas Prints in the App<\/h2>\n

Open the Shutterfly app and select Categories<\/strong> in the bottom menu. Tap Wall Art<\/strong>, then Canvas Prints<\/strong> to browse designs.<\/p>\n

Use the filters to narrow your options by size, number of photos, orientation, frame type or color, and design style. If you already know you want a landscape canvas with three photos, for example, filtering first can help you find a template that fits.<\/p>\n

For a design that keeps the focus on your photography, start with a Photo Gallery Canvas Print<\/a>. If you\u2019ve already created a finished design, choose Upload Your Own Design<\/a> to use your artwork.<\/p>\n

2. Choose Your Canvas Size and Frame<\/h2>\n

Select a template to see its available product options. Before opening the editor, choose your canvas size, decide if you want a frame, and set your quantity. If you select a frame, choose an available frame color, too.<\/p>\n

You can adjust these selections later in the editor, so you have room to make changes as your design comes together. When you\u2019re ready, tap the orange Personalize<\/strong> button at the bottom of your screen.<\/p>\n

Our gallery-wrapped canvas prints are stretched over a solid wood frame and include a metal sawtooth hanger. Choose an unframed canvas<\/a> to display the wrapped edges, or add a decorative frame to finish the look.<\/p>\n

3. Add Photos to Your Canvas Print<\/h2>\n

The app will prompt you to add photos. You can choose pictures from your phone, your Shutterfly account, Amazon Photos, Google Photos, or Facebook. If you select an account that isn\u2019t connected yet, follow the prompts to connect it.<\/p>\n

Your selected pictures will appear in the Photos<\/strong> tab. From there, add them to the photo spaces in your template. You can upload several pictures to compare your options, even if you\u2019re only using one in the finished canvas.<\/p>\n

Start with a clear original image whenever possible. A screenshot or a photo saved from social media may have less detail than the original file, which matters more when you enlarge it for your wall.<\/p>\n

4. Adjust Your Photo Layout and Crop<\/h2>\n

Once your photos are in place, adjust the crop for each one. Check that everyone\u2019s face is fully visible and that important details have enough room around them. Pay attention to the edges of the canvas, too, so the final placement works with the gallery wrap.<\/p>\n

Open the Layout<\/strong> tab to explore different arrangements. Depending on your design, you can change the number of photos, choose a layout with text, or switch the canvas orientation.<\/p>\n

Try a few layouts before deciding. One favorite portrait may work well on its own, while a set of vacation photos can tell more of the story in a collage.<\/p>\n

You can also explore the available AI photo tools if you want to make additional edits. Options include applying creative filters, adjusting faces to look toward the camera, opening closed eyes, or expanding an image. Review any changes closely before keeping them.<\/p>\n

5. Customize Text, Backgrounds, and Product Options<\/h2>\n

Use the editor tabs to finish your canvas print:<\/p>\n
