Photo blown up and put onto a canvas?

[Maria n Dennis]

My dad has a picture on my mums phone that he would like to try and get blown up and put onto a canvas or just to frame it for christmas. But he has no idea if it can be done or how to go about it , and TBH neither do I .

Any help would be much appreciated

If you google  canvas prints  you will get dozens of results including this one

you can also get them done at most Asdas and Tescos and photo shops

It probably can't be done  

I'm in the same situation, I've got some shots I want blown up for OH's pressie, but I've emailed 3 to the company and they've emailed back saying that the picture quality isn't good enough and they are coming out as pixels not clear images.

I was using HelloCanvas - but I assume it'll be the same for any company.

I managed to get a pic from my phone blown up and put on a mouse mat - but I'm not sure if it could have been made any bigger.
I used Kodak.

I got it wrong it is actually on his camera so is there more of a chance ?

Ill have a look at the site mentioned

How many megapixels is it?  Anything over 5 should be ok.  I've had a photo of the dogs blown up to size A1 without problems.  It was really cheap too!

Just go onto www.ebay.co.uk & type in A1 canvas box photo into the search & pick a seller & just send them your photo via email & they will tell you if it's OK.  Then just pay for it!

I noticed Staples had a deal on when I went in a few days ago.  Might of been Buy one, get one free (or 1/2 price)

Asda do them not sure how much

depends on the quality you want - a lot of the cheaper ones use inferior ink on the canvas which will fade eventually - I like  www.photobox.co.uk

I transfered a picture from my camera on to my PC then onto a memory stick and took it to jessops photo shop and they made it into a lovely canvas. Hope this helps.

We have used photobox recently for a canvas. It is fantastic quality and photo looks great, it was taken on a fairly decent DSLR though so the quality of the photo was good anyway. They give fab service too and get the stuff to you pretty quick xx
