We’re happy to help you decorate your walls with your most precious souvenirs. To begin, pick a type of support for your photos (eg. canvas, metal plate, acrylic). Then, upload your pictures to our free online editing tool. Make touch-ups by resizing, cropping, and/or adding filters to your picture. Come see us in-store for a pick-up, or have your order delivered anywhere in the country.
You can order and make touch-ups from a computer or a mobile device.
Step-by-step process
1. Pick a type of support for your photo
For this demo purpose, we picked the canvas print. The process however remains the same no matter which product you chose.
Select a type of support for your photo. Metal, acrylic and laminate are more resistant, whereas canvases and frames are more fragile choices. Then, pick the attributes from your product’s choice of attributes.
2. Upload a picture to our online image editing tool
Before you get started, here are a few tips.
- Group your pictures in a folder.
- To select several pictures at a time, hold the CTRL (PC) / CMD (Mac) key.
- To select all the pictures in a folder, hold the CTRL+A (PC) / CMD+A (Mac) keys.
Then, import your image files into our server, in our online editing tool. Files can come from a computer or mobile device, a social media account, or an old project stored on our servers. This digital studio experience is free, and available online, on a computer or mobile device – at your convenience.

To access images on our server, select the Image zone (a grey area in the layout). Then, select the Photo button in the toolbar on the left side of your window. Select the photo that you want to add, and you will be able to edit the picture and add text.
