How to Choose the Right Format for Your Custom Paint-by-Number KitUpdated a month ago

Do I Need a Landscape, Portrait, or Square Canvas?

The aspect ratio of your original photo should match the aspect ratio of the canvas. This prevents unwanted cropping and keeps the composition intact.

📸 Landscape (horizontal) photo → Choose a rectangular canvas
âś… Recommended sizes: 40x50 cm, 50x60 cm, 60x80 cm


📸 Portrait (vertical) photo → Choose a rectangular canvas
âś… Recommended sizes: 50x60 cm, 40x50 cm


📸 Square photo → Choose a rectangular canvas
We currently do not offer square canvases. Choose the format that best fits your image or crop your photo before uploading.


What Happens If My Photo Doesn’t Match the Canvas Size?

🚨 Important: If you choose a rectangular canvas for a square image, or vice versa, the photo may be automatically cropped. This means some parts of your image could be cut off.

đź’ˇ Want full control over how your image is displayed?

  • Check which canvas format best matches your photo.
  • Use a free photo editing tool or the crop function on your phone to adjust your image before ordering.
  • When in doubt, choose a size that keeps the most important elements of your image visible.

Following these tips will help you get the best results for your paint-by-number kit without losing important parts of your photo. Need help? Feel free to contact our support team—we’re happy to assist you!
