Professional Canvas Stretching for Original Paintings & Prints
Create a Flawless Finish for Your Artwork
Canvas stretching is the process of pulling canvas over a wooden stretcher bar frame, tightening it, and securing it in place for a clean, professional display. Whether you’re working with an original painting, a photo print on canvas, or reproducing art in bulk, our team ensures high-quality results every time.
How your artwork is stretched depends on how you plan to display it. If you're framing the piece — or if it’s an original with textured or heavy paint — we typically recommend a museum wrap on regular-depth stretcher bars, keeping the edges clean and flat for fitting into a frame. If the canvas will hang on its own without a frame, a gallery wrap using deeper stretcher bars often provides a more substantial, modern look. In this case, the image continues around the edges of the canvas, allowing it to be displayed beautifully as-is. Either option delivers a polished finish, depending on your preference.
Who Uses This Service?
Our canvas stretching service is trusted by artists preparing for exhibitions, interior designers furnishing homes or offices, and individuals preserving special photos on canvas or vacation artwork they bought abroad.
Free Pickup & Delivery
All Framing & Display locations offer free pickup and delivery, making it more convenient than ever to complete your canvas stretching project. This is especially worth considering depending on your vehicle — once your artwork is stretched, it's significantly larger and more delicate than when it’s rolled up, making transport trickier without the right space. Availability may vary by location, so be sure to contact your local affiliate for details and turnaround times.
