Question

Can you make canvas prints from phone photos?

Answer

Yes. Modern phone cameras produce enough resolution for most canvas sizes.

  • Today's smartphones capture 12 to 48+ megapixels, plenty for prints up to about 20x30 inches.
  • For larger canvases, aim for at least 150 DPI at the final print dimensions.
  • Shoot in good light to keep noise low and detail sharp.
  • Avoid heavy cropping, since it throws away pixels you need for a clean enlargement.
