Choosing how to display a cherished photo is a big decision. Do you want a modern, vibrant look, or something more classic and artistic? The three most popular choices are sleek metal prints, textured canvas prints, and traditional framed photos. Each one has a unique personality. This guide will help you understand the key differences, so you can confidently choose the perfect style for your space and your memories.

Appearance & Feel: What’s Your Vibe?

Metal Prints: Modern & Vibrant

A metal print is all about clean lines and brilliant color. We print your photo directly onto a high-grade metal sheet, creating a sharp, almost luminous effect. With elegant rounded corners and a sleek finish, the artwork feels modern and substantial.

Canvas Prints: Soft & Artistic

Canvas prints have a warm, painterly feel. The image is printed on textured fabric, which gives it a soft, matte quality. This texture can be very forgiving for photos that aren't perfectly sharp and adds a touch of classic charm.

Framed Prints: Classic & Timeless

This is the most traditional way to display a photo. A paper print is placed behind glass within a frame of your choice. A frame adds a sense of importance and can be matched to your decor, but the glass can create glare.

Durability & Care: Made for Real Life

Metal Prints

Our prints are built for longevity. They are moisture and chemical resistant, so you don't have to worry about placing them in kitchens or bathrooms. The rigid metal panel won't bend or warp, and cleaning is simple. Handle with care to avoid surface scratches.

Canvas Prints

Canvas can be vulnerable to moisture and dust. Over time, it can sag, and direct sunlight may cause the colors to fade. Cleaning is usually limited to gentle dusting.

Framed Prints

The frame protects the print, but the glass can break. Humidity can also sometimes get trapped behind the glass, potentially damaging the photo paper over the long term.

Ease of Display: Up on the Wall in Minutes

Metal Prints

It doesn’t get easier than this. Our prints come with a simple, no-drill magnetic wall sticker or a desk stand. You can hang your art in seconds without any tools or damage to your walls.

Canvas Prints

These are lightweight and typically easy to hang with a simple nail or hook, but careful measurement is needed to get them level.

Framed Prints

These often require more care, needing sturdy hooks and precise measurements. The weight of the glass and frame can make hanging a more involved process.
