How to Choose the Right Size for Your Custom Diamond Painting (With Real Photo Examples)
So, you've decided to turn your favorite photo into a dazzling piece of diamond art. Amazing choice! But before we get started, there’s one question that will affect the final result more than anything else: What canvas size should you choose?
Why Canvas Size Matters
The larger the canvas, the more space there is to render tiny details — especially when it comes to human faces, hair, or background elements. A small canvas might be budget-friendly, but it often leads to blurry or pixelated results. On the other hand, a larger canvas brings your photo to life with vibrant clarity.
✨ Quick Size Guide Based on People in Your Photo
- 1 person: Recommended size 40x50cm+
- 2 people: Recommended size 60x80cm+
- 3 or more: Recommended size 80x100cm+
📸 Real-Life Example: From Photo to Sparkling Artwork
Let’s say you have a beautiful wedding photo of a couple. Choosing a 30x40cm canvas might seem sufficient — but faces will appear blurred. Upgrading to 60x80cm allows for crisp features, better color transitions, and a result that’s worthy of display.
🧵 Other Factors That Affect Canvas Size
- Background complexity: Detailed backgrounds need more space
- Number of colors: Larger canvases allow more color variation and accuracy
- Viewing distance: If you plan to hang it on a wall, a bigger size looks better from far away
