Recommended image dimensions
The tables below outline our recommended image dimensions for each of our product sizes, split between paper and canvases. For the best results, we recommend ensuring that your artwork is between the minimum and maximum values below. The printed quality may start to suffer if you drop too far below our suggested minimum, but we’ll automatically notify you if we think there could be an issue with the quality.

Bleed Areas
A bleed area is the part of your image that is outside of the actual product size and is therefore typically not visible on the finished product. They ensure that your artwork is printed edge to edge, with no unexpected borders visible where they shouldn't be.
Where we require a bleed area, it will be highlighted with a dotted line when you create your products and edit your artwork. We recommend ensuring that these areas don’t include any key parts of your artwork - where your design reaches right to the edge, consider uploading a version with an extended background, to ensure your entire image is captured and printed in full.
In addition, for image-wrap canvases, approximately 40mm from each side of your artwork is wrapped onto the edges of the canvas, so please ensure that no important parts of your artwork are within this area.
Colour Profiles
We have ICC profiles available for all of our paper and canvas products, available to download here. Using these profiles will ensure that the colour space is as accurate as possible, matching your original artwork with excellent reproduction and consistency.
