Everyone today has Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with lots of photos associated with each social media profile. But what do we do with all those photos we have uploaded in to Cyber Space? Most people never do anything with them other than sharing them hoping that lots of people will like them and maybe share them. At CanvasDesign we make it very easy to get your photos transferred on to canvas from the two man social media platforms. Facebook and Instagram. Here we discuss how to get the most out of both platforms.
Everyone wants the best pictures to put on your Instagram page, so they obviously take several shots before deciding on the perfect one. And since you can easily turn your Instagram pictures into décor-worthy canvas prints, you definitely want to make sure that you’re snapping amazing photos worthy of being hung on your home or office’s walls. The popularity in canvas prints is making people want to take awesome and perfect Instagram pictures to display, so here are some tips to make your IG snaps look like works of art:

Your smartphone’s flash will create harsh shadows that won’t come out well when you transform the snap into a canvas print.
- Use a camera app
Sometimes, the best snaps don’t necessarily come from your smartphone’s camera, but rather your favorite camera app. Test out different camera apps to see which one you’re not digging IG’s camera app so that you can get the best snaps possible to transfer to a canvas print.
- Use photo editing apps
Again, you don’t necessarily have to use IG’s filters or editing tools and can easily find an editing app that you like better so that you can create canvas-worthy snaps that will look great on your walls.
- Try different angles
To get the best snaps, try different angles so that you can compare to see which ones would look great on a canvas print. Try taking some from above, below, to the side and other unique viewpoints to make the snap fresh and unexpected.
- Take snaps of things you like

We have had a lot of enquiries recently about Facebook Canvas Ads 101, which has nothing to do with Facebook canvas prints, but we thought we would share a little information about it as it seems to be a popular topic.
Facebook Canvas Ads 101
Facebook now wants to provide advertisers with a new way to reach potential customers without making them ever have to leave the social network with their new Canvas Ads. It’s sort of like instant articles meet instant ads, so when users click on a news feed ad connected to the system, it will open a full-screen page inside of the network rather than directing users to go to their mobile website instead. Facebook came up with Canvas Ads because mobile sites had too long of load times that users don’t want to have to wait through to see the ad. So Facebook built the ads in its own app so that it can show them in about one second.
Facebook Canvas also allows cool interactive things like videos, animations, product catalogs, carousels and tilt-to-view images. Currently it’s linked from news feed ads on Android and iOS, but Facebook would eventually like to expand it to other apps like Instagram. Creating Canvas ads is pretty easy, with no code required thanks to an easy-to-use design tool that lets advertisers simply drag around images, videos, GIFs and more. They just have to set certain attributes to start showing their ads. There’s no extra cost to build these types of ads and you simply pay for the same news feed ads as you would normal ones, but you’ll get to build a better place to where they lead. You can even target to different demographics just like normal ads.
Essentially, Facebook Canvas allows advertisers to create all that awesome content you’ve created in one place where it’s guaranteed to be seen instead of sticking it on websites that never get visited. It’s really like delivering a unique small website right to your customer’s Facebook feed.
With Facebook Canvas, you as an advertiser know what you’re getting and know what kind of impressions you’re ultimately paying for. It’s currently be offered to a few advertisers and still needs a few more months of testing to see if users are actually responding to it.
We hope that this article has shed some light on two of the most popular photo sharing sites. Instagram canvas prints seem to be the most popular of the two and if you are using CanvasDesign UK to order your Instagram canvas prints, our uploading system is extremely easy to use.
