What's in your Custom Kit?
Your Custom Canvas by Numbers kit includes the following:
✅ Pre-printed numbered 100% finely woven cotton blend canvas.
✅ Numbered acrylic-based paint set. No mix required, non-toxic.

🚨 We will send your canvases rolled in a protective tube to arrive in perfect condition with zero creases. Each tube can contain up to three canvases. Note that 24x32" canvases will ship folded due to standard shipping restrictions unless you choose FedEx expedited at checkout.
You can choose different formats for your Custom Canvas By Numbers kit:
➡️ No Frame: the canvas ships rolled in a protective tube. No frame is included.
➡️ DIY Frame: we will add four pine wood stretcher bars. Easy to mount within minutes! You can watch the video in step 5 of our paint by numbers guide.
➡️ Framed: the canvas is already mounted on the frame. Ready to paint & hang.
How to Order?
1. Pick the SIZE, FORMAT (no frame, DIY frame or framed) and number of COLORS you'd like for your custom kit.
2. Click on the "CHOOSE IMAGE" button. It is mandatory that you upload your picture.
3. Select your photo from your device. The editor will open.
FREE allows you to crop the image as you like, but we recommend using the RATIO options (3:4 or 4:3) options since these will match your canvas. APPLY any desired changes.
5. Once you are happy, click on ADD and you're done!
How to Pick a Good Photo?
1 - Image resolution/quality
The quality of your photo will greatly affect your custom painting result. The sharper your image is, the better!
➡️ You can also check the image properties on your mobile or desktop. The higher more pixels, the better. Try to provide a photo with at least 1000x1000 pixels. If you don't know how to check your image resolution, here's a quick guide to do so on Windows and Mac.
2 - Distance from the camera
3 - Pick a photo with neutral lighting
➡️ Good lighting. Choose images where the light is uniform across the subjects.
➡️ NO instense background light. The light should always come from the camera angle.
➡️ NO shadows on the skin. Shadows can completely change the color palette, creating dark patches.
➡️ NO color filters! The light should be completely natural. Rephrase from using tints such as yellow, blue, purple or green, which are very popular in social media or in some photography apps.
4 - Pick the right canvas size
🚨 Please note that submitting a picture that fails to follow these recommendations might cause delays in your order and a result below your expectations. If you have any questions, feel free to email us your picture in advance at support@canvasbynumbers.com so we can have a look. Happy painting!

What's the difference between 24, 36 and 48 colors?
We will use our software to select a color palette that matches your photo during the design process. The more colors we choose, the greater detail and accuracy we can get.
➡️ 24 colors are ideal for simple pictures such as objects and kids' illustrations.
➡️ 36 colors are suitable for simple portraits (one person) and pets.
➡️ 48 colors offer the best detail and accuracy for any complex image. If you don't care about spending a bit more, this is the best you can get.
