CanvasPeople was started in 2009 with the goal of preserving memories as art. CanvasPeople employees are lovers of photography and home décor and figured it would be a great idea to combine them. Fast forward several years, and the company has become a quality source for photo canvases and other personalized products.

CanvasPeople takes pride in delivering exceptional products to its customers. Photo Canvases was the company’s first and flagship product, but now it also offers mugs, throw pillows, desktop plaques, and more.

The Good

  • Simple Ordering Process
  • 100% Satisfaction Guarantee

Simple Ordering Process

Creating a personalized gift with CanvasPeople is a simple and straightforward process. All consumers have to do is select a photo, choose a size, select any artistic effects, and add a frame (optional). After that, CanvasPeople will take it from there. CanvasPeople customers can expect their customized product to be meticulously wrapped and all prints will be finished with an environmentally friendly protective coating. Lastly, hanging equipment will come with the canvas.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

CanvasPeople guarantees its products. The company simply asks that all requests for replacements are submitted within 30 days of the date that the item is received. All replacement requests must be sent through the company’s contact form.

The Bad

  • Limited Refund Policy
  • Shipping Limitations

Limited Refund Policy

Because CanvasPeople creates custom personalized items, most of the products cannot be refunded for reasons other than defects in materials or workmanship.

Shipping Limitations

Currently, CanvasPeople doesn’t ship orders internationally. Also, express and priority shipping options are currently only available on single item orders. 

Additionally, CanvasPeople will only guarantee the shipment date if the consumer was shown a shipment guarantee while placing an order. The guarantee only applies to orders that don’t include services such as photo editing (edits, enhancements, etc.). If an order is not shipped out before the guaranteed shipping date, CanvasPeople may offer a 50 percent refund on the shipping and handling cost.

The Bottom Line

CanvasPeople is an excellent option for people looking for a personalized gift. Ordering a canvas (or another item) is an easy process and the company prides itself on delivering its products promptly. However, CanvasPeople has a few shipping limitations, such as not being able to ship outside the continental United States, and the fact that there is no express or priority shipping on single canvas orders. If you plan on ordering a product as a holiday gift, it might be best to order sooner rather than later.

Doraine Redwood City, CA

The final product made the photo look washed out and blurred. The background was totally blurred. Perhaps the size I ordered was too big to represent the photo properly. This should be told to the purchaser. I felt like I wasted the money on this purchase which could never be placed on the wall. If I had known ahead what the washed out effect would be, I would have ordered a smaller version. It was about the photo/subject, not the size that I was interested in. Very disappointing, especially giving it as a gift to my daughter-in-law to be. A canvas fail!

I had issues with their website and had multiple orders go through without any sort of confirmation as it kept returning to the payment page. I was charged for 9 orders when only 4 had been confirmed. When I realized what had happened, the company refused to issue a refund until I disputed the additional charges with the credit card company. The images came out great but it’s a shame that I had such trouble with the ordering process and the customer service. I will not be ordering from them again.

Order was placed based on an email received that it would be delivered in time for Christmas- it was received the day after and I had to purchase other gifts so it isn’t needed. Such a shame because the product looks great.

Photo quality was awful when put onto canvas and the pic used was from a photographer so quality should have been excellent. Also should have been done in landscape not portrait on the canvas. Poor quality overall—went right in the trash! Will not order from you again!

Picture quality was horrible on both items. I will not order again. I wasted about $80.00. Could not even use them for Christmas gifts. Very disappointed in the quality. I unsubscribed from future mailings from Canvas people.

They weren't want I thought for the money nothing to stick with so I don't think I would get them again. They have no frame to protect the picture itself. I thank you but to much money for what you get.

I’m sorry I was hugely disappointed. I went to Wal Mart and made another canvas . The pic had a black stripe at the top and I couldn’t tell because of the black frame I had it set in .
