Panoramic photo prints are when your favorite photos feature a wide view horizontally. It’s also known as wide format photography. It’s an incredible ratio aspect to show off cityscapes, wildlife, your family reunion, or any large group or team.

Panoramic canvas prints don’t require special equipment today

When you get panoramic canvas prints, your photo is best when it’s an actual panoramic photo print. In the past, this technique of photography often used special equipment or computer software or expensive cameras.

Can I use my phone to get panoramic canvas prints?

You can use your smartphone if it has panoramic settings and you set your resolution to the proper aspect ratio with high resolution for a large print. Furthermore, you’ll need to make sure these numbers are high enough for a large print.

Why can’t I use the photos I already have if the image size is too small for printing panoramic images?

You can use a lower resolution for digital panoramic photography if you are using it for online purposes or getting small prints. If you’re sharing photos online according to lifewire, 1200 pixels wide is best, but you can, however, go as low as 640 pixels wide. Printing panoramic photos is a different story when you want something more substantial The reason we like to have a larger size panoramic picture is that if we print panoramic photos with a small file size (less than 300 dpi) — you’ll end up with a blurry image. That’s why we ask that you have the proper settings before you print panoramic photos with us.
