Product Overview
Smile Art Design is a Custom Canvas Print service that takes your favorite personal photographs and turns them into beautiful, ready to hang pieces of wall art for your home or as a gift for friends and family. After uploading your photograph to our site and choosing a size, we print the photograph onto high-quality canvas and stretch it over a sturdy, solid wood frame. This makes each photograph look like it was taken in a professional photographer's studio.
Our custom canvas prints are ideal for printing family photographs, wedding pictures, baby photos, pet portraits, vacation photos, graduation photos, memorial photos and many other types of personal photographs. Our custom canvas wraps the entire piece of artwork around the solid wood frame creating a complete work of art which does not require additional framing.
Customers Say
Many of our customers have liked the quality of printing we do and said their photographs were very sharp, vibrant, and appeared just like they did in the digital version. Several customers have noted that their finished canvas looked heavier and felt more high-end than anticipated at this cost.
Buyers also enjoy the fact that their canvas arrives with it already attached to a stretcher bar so all you need to do is attach your hanger. Most buyers have described the wood frame as light weight yet strong enough to support normal wall mounting. Many of our buyers have stated that the finished print makes for a great personalized gift.
Several customers have pointed out that depending on the resolution and cropping of the photograph used will greatly affect how the final image looks. Some customers have also reported issues when using dark images, low-quality resolutions (i.e., 72 dpi), or poor placement of the area cropped within the image which may cause the resulting image to appear differently than they had envisioned.

Bottom Line
Smiley's Custom Canvas prints are an ideal choice when you want to turn your favorite memories into beautiful wall art at an affordable price. They have a unique feature of being gallery wrapped so that they can hang right out of the box, along with the ability to size them to fit your needs, and add your own touch. They work particularly well for family pictures and photo gifts. Keep in mind, however, that it is how good the picture looks that will ultimately determine the look of your print. A higher resolution image, which has been cropped carefully, should provide the best possible results.
