For the best printing results, do not print larger than the provided sizes, as the image may appear pixelated.

If you need a ratio not included, you can crop the file yourself using design tools such as:

  • Adobe Photoshop

  • Photopea

  • Canva

  • Procreate

Which Size Should I Use

Choosing the right size depends on both your space and how you plan to display the artwork. Here are some points to consider when making your decision.

Based on Room & Space

  • Small spaces (hallways, shelves, bedside areas):
    5×7 in, 8×10 in, or A4

  • Medium spaces (living rooms, desks, above furniture):
    11×14 in, 12×16 in, 16×20 in

  • Large walls or statement areas:
    18×24 in, 20×30 in, 24×36 in, or A1

Based on Furniture

  • Above a desk or console: choose artwork about ⅔ the width of the furniture

  • Above a sofa or bed: larger sizes or a pair/set work best

  • For gallery walls: mix smaller sizes with consistent spacing

Single Print or Sets

  • A single large print creates a calm focal point

  • Multiple smaller prints work well as a narrative or devotional grouping

A Simple Tip

Use masking tape or paper to outline the size on your wall before printing. This helps you visualize scale and placement easily.

Print Material & Frame Recommendations

Print Material Types

  • Poster prints: affordable, versatile, easy to change

  • Canvas prints: textured, frameless look, artistic presence

  • Fine art paper prints: best for detail, depth, and color accuracy

Paper Recommendations

For best results, use thick, firm white paper.

Suggested options:

  • Heavyweight matte paper

  • Fine art paper

  • Cardstock-like paper (avoid thin copy paper)

Thin paper may absorb too much ink, which can cause waves or texture issues.

Frame Style Recommendations

For our modern yet artistic Christian wall art style, we recommend simple wooden frames for most interiors.

Plain wood frames are:

  • Timeless and warm, a perfect companion for contemplative faith-based art

  • Suitable for modern, minimalist, or classic spaces

  • Available in light or dark tones to adjust the mood of the room

Natural wood frames pair especially well with the calm, contemplative nature of Christian wall art.

If you prefer black, white, or bolder frame styles, those can also work well—your personal taste and the room’s environment should always come first.

Where to Print

Our high-resolution JPG files are in RGB mode and compatible with most home and professional printers.

You may print your artwork:

  • At home (using high-quality settings)

  • At local print shops

  • Through online printing services

Please note that colors may vary slightly depending on your monitor, printer settings, and paper type. This is normal for all printed artwork.

High-quality print settings or professional printing will usually give the best results.
