3 Great Sites for Ordering Canvas Art

Thinking of buying someone a sentimental gift or just want to update a gallery wall? Turn to one of these three sites to transform personal photos and artwork into canvas prints.

We ordered canvas art from wide range of sites. Then, Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) engineers, our magazine designers and a few consumers were the judges. What we looked at: the photo clarity, brightness and color as well as where an image fell on a gallery-wrapped canvas, the frame's sturdiness and construction and ease of designing.

Top Pick: CanvasWorld ($94)
Free minor retouching (removing red-eye; sharpening shots), accurate color, and great construction wowed users. Shows a model of how the image would wrap on the frame.

Budget Buy: Walmart ($41)
This low-priced option bagged the highest score for image clarity and construction. Pros: simple uploads, fast shipping, in-store pickup. Cons: image was off-center; few editing options online.

Worth the Splurge: CanvasPop ($113)
Engineers and consumers agreed that this site, which offered the most editing tools of our top three, produced the prettiest pictures: centered, crisp, and true. There's a 100% lifetime guarantee, too.
