CanvasPop's Instagram prints: Art from your iPhone

by Steven Sande Nov 22nd 2011 at 9:00AM

See those nice art prints on the wall in the image above? They were all taken using Instagram on an iPhone, and then printed on canvas by CanvasPop. The canvas prints are a wonderful personalized gift idea, and come ready for hanging on your wall.

The introductory pricing for the Instagram prints is pretty nice, too -- a 12" x 12" print sells for US$29.95, while the 20" x 20" is a big bargain at $59.95. If you have an Instagram photo or three that you're particularly proud of, then CanvasPop turns them into works of art that are the ultimate in personalized gift-giving.

I have one of their prints, which is an Instagram photo of the Blue Yeti microphone that I use for TUAW TV Live and the Daily Update. As you can see from the photos in the gallery, these prints are high quality, featuring a canvas wrap over a wood frame. There's a braided hanging wire on the back, and it works well for hanging the print over a few nails or a picture hook. Canvaspop even puts little clear silicone bumpers on the bottom back of the print to complete the professional touches.

By the way, if you don't use Instagram, the folks at CanvasPop can take any of your other digital photos -- iPhone or not -- and do the same nice treatment for your other images.

If your budget (or your display space) isn't right-sized for large prints, on the other hand, you can get a lovely micro-magnetic version of your Instagram photos via Stickygram. $14.99 gets you a pack of nine magnets for your fridge or other metal surface. The company is running a 'Print My Feed' contest this month, where one winner will get his or her entire Instagram feed made into magnets. Time to get a bigger refrigerator!

Please allow me to clarify a few things:
@josh: The results we've had so far have been amazing and I'm sure you will find them to look great. We've done thousands of them since we launched less than a month ago. They are also backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are using a 3G phone i recommend going with the 12x12 size only. Otherwise they look great even at 20"x20" ! We specialize in working with low res. images. We use a combination of a proprietary process and we take advantage of the fact that canvas has a forgiving texture that allows for low res. images to look great.

@chuck lane: one important thing to note is that we print on archival quality *canvas* and they come stretched on high quality wood stretchers. Hipstamatic prints come on paper. There's no comparison between a paper print (poster print) and a stretched and mounted canvas.

@Sean_burgess: please go here: http://www.canvaspop.com/instagram prices start at $29 for a 12"x12"- normally we sell that size for $79 off our main site.

Hope this helps!

I wonder the same thing as kaulbr. I used Hipstamatic's printing service with a few Instagram images and the results (even at 4"x4") were not very good. Pixelated compared to photos out of the actual Hipstamatic app, which are generally in full resolution. Anyone have info on how they are printing 20x20? I know the new Instagram lets you save full resolution, even though it uploads a 600x600 image.

Hipstamatic also does prints and i think their 30x30 is the same price as the 20x20 you mentioned... They also tend to release coupons for their printing service on fridays... I used one for 30% off a 30 inch print and it looks pretty amazing.

How do you find the Instagram intro pricing? The prices they list are all more expensive on their site.

I don't get how these prints can be high quality. Doesn't instagram save images at something like 600x600 pixels??
