2021 Canvas Print Company Reviews

Simple Canvas Prints

• Cost: Starting at $104.22, or $4.99 with likely discounts

Simple Canvas Prints may not have been in business as long as some of the companies in our review, but they've made a splash in just a few years. Based in Central Florida, this business has a whole list of perks designed to inspire your trust, earn your business, and, most of all, to provide you with "museum quality canvas prints, guaranteed for life".

Grabs your attention

Right away, Simple Canvas Prints wanted to grab our attention. We had overlapping pop-ups/notifications asking if we'd like to be notified of any Private VIP Deals, as well as a $10 + 10% discount for entering our email address. Plus, at the time we visited the site, there was an ongoing promotion of free shipping, 75% off, and a $10 discount on any orders over $100.

100% Love It guarantee

So, what about those perks we mentioned? First, Simple Canvas Prints has a "100% Love It" Guarantee - that they stand by completely. You'll be blown away by their policy: no matter if the mistake is yours or theirs, no matter the reason, you can get a full refund on any canvas print you order, no questions asked. They'll even refund your original shipping costs. You only need to send in a small section of the canvas - not the whole thing - so even your return shipping costs can be as inexpensive as a stamp.

Image touchup available

If you'd like professional help in making your image flawless, Simple Canvas Prints has three choices:

• Simple Touch-Up: for $5.99, their experts will make small adjustments to color/contrast and remove red-eye
• Simple Enhance: for $12.99, you'll get a lot more "help" for moles/scars/blemishes, adding eye sparkle, replacing a background, and more
• Simple Makeover: for $19.95, this is where it gets fun. You can get all of the smaller retouching from the other two choices. But, if Aunt Martha couldn't make it to the wedding? Guess what! You can add her into the photo! (In contrast, if you really wish she hadn't made it to the wedding after all, you can discreetly remove her from the image. Sorry, Aunt Martha.) You can also restore torn/stained/faded photos with this service.

Try portrait and landscape

Creating your finished product is easy with Simple Canvas Prints. Pick your favorite photo from Instagram or Facebook, or choose a saved image from your computer to get started. At first glance, we were disappointed: it looked like we were only being offered a total of four canvas sizes: 8x8, 10x10, 12x12, and 20x20. Then we realized that we had to select the layout we preferred, and it defaulted to "square". We found many more sizes under the Portrait and Landscape buttons, ranging from 8x10 up to 30x36.

Customize your look

Next, you'll start customizing your overall look. You can get your canvas rolled or with a 0.75" wrap at no extra charge, or pay an extra $20 for the 1.5" wrap. Then, choose whether you want the image to wrap over the sides, or if you'd prefer black or white sides. If you want to crop your image, resize it or zoom, you'll find that on the following screen. You can also get photo filters; black/white and sepia or free, and oil painting, comic book, and pop art are available for an extra $4.99. You won't see a preview of how your uploaded image will look with these filters, so you may want to try that out on your image first.

Want a museum quality image? You can get a Fine Art Pearl Finish for $6.99. Need a black frame? That's $32.40. Hardware for hanging is also extra, but reasonably priced.

Confusing price display

We were puzzled as we watched the price of our canvas go up and down as we clicked through the order screens. We started with a basic 8x8 with an exorbitant initial price of more than $100 - but, like many canvas print companies, there were discounts available. When we clicked through the different ordering screens, that price went up and down dramatically. Fortunately, by the time we got to the order page, everything was as expected.

Free shipping

We were really excited to see that our order would ship for free if we spent at least $10; that definitely motivated us to buy an extra print. When we did this, however - simply by changing our quantity from 1 to 2 - we found that we were being charged $4.99 for the first print and $26.05 for the second copy of the exact same image and style. There was no explanation as to why the price changed. It did make us eligible for that free shipping, though, so we could expect that they would take 14-18 business days in production and another 4-6 for delivery.

If you're in a hurry

If you need your order faster than that, you can opt for $9.98 regular delivery (6-8 business days production, 4-6 for delivery) or $16.98 expedited (1-2 business days in production, 1-4 business days for delivery). Even those fees are some of the most reasonable we found among companies selling canvas prints.

Happy customers

It's easy to see why customers are crazy about Simple Canvas Prints. Low prices, reasonable shipping costs (with the possibility of free shipping too), and an ironclad customer satisfaction guarantee are all extremely compelling when you look at what other businesses have to offer. And, across the board, people are very pleased with the end results: high-quality canvas prints that last and a business that stands by what it sells.

Although we saw a few glitchy things during the order process, our overall experience was a good one. As you consider the various companies that want to earn your business, you'll have a hard time finding many that offer as much as Simple Canvas Prints.
