How to Choose the Right Size for Your Custom Diamond Painting

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

Diamond painting canvas size guide infographic – how to choose the best canvas size for 1, 2, or 3 people portraits. Recommended sizes: 40x50cm+, 60x80cm+, 80x100cm+. The bigger the canvas, the better the detail.

📸 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
