Find Your Size
Before you buy. Once your download arrives, your Print Guide takes it from there.
Every painting in the studio comes in 10 sizes. Some come in 7 sizes. Picking one takes three questions.
A note on shape: when the art is landscape or wide. An 8 × 10 print is 10 inches wide and 8 inches tall. Each file carries a soft paper border that works like a mat, so a simple frame is enough.
1. Where will it hang?
| The spot | File Size: Start With | Landscape (wide × tall) |
|---|---|---|
| Desk, shelf, or nightstand | 8 × 10 | 10 × 8 in |
| Bedroom or hallway | 11 × 14 | 14 × 11 in |
| Over a dresser or console | 16 × 20 | 20 × 16 in |
| Above a bed | 16 × 24 | 24 × 16 in |
| Living room wall | 18 × 24 | 24 × 18 in |
| Above a sofa | 24 × 36 | 36 × 24 in |
| Gallery wall or square frame | 12 × 12 | 12 × 12 in |
| Outside the US | A4 or A3 | International paper sizes |
| Art mode TV or digital frame | TV 16:9 | 3840 × 2160 pixels (4K) |
Try it on the wall first. Mark the size with painter's tape or a sheet of paper and live with it for a day. If it looks small, go one size up.
Over furniture, many decorators use a simple rule: the art should be about two-thirds the width of the piece below it. For a long sofa, choose 24 × 36, or hang two prints side by side.
2. One size, or all of them?
- One size when you know the spot and the frame.
- The Collection when you are torn between two sizes, want the art in more than one room, or may move it later. It holds every size, so you can decide after.
3. Print it yourself, or buy it ready to hang?
| Download and print | Ready framed or canvas | |
|---|---|---|
| You get | Print-ready files right away | A finished piece, shipped to your door |
| You choose | Your paper, printer, and frame | From the frame and canvas options listed |
| Best for | A frame you already own, last-minute gifts, art for more than one room | No errands, large walls, a finished look with nothing to assemble |
| What you do | Print at home (8 × 10 and A4) or at a photo lab, then frame | Hang it |
| Timing | Local photo labs often print the same day | Made to order, then shipped. Timing shows at checkout |
Choosing between framed, canvas, acrylic, metal and wood? The Print Format Guide compares the look, glare, weight, and care of each.

After you buy
Your download arrives as one zip file: your size as a JPG and a print-ready PDF, plus Your Print Guide, which shows how to open the files, print at home or at a shop, and frame. Every file is set at 300 DPI in sRGB, the color standard that printers and photo labs expect.
A download is for your own home. Hanging the art in a business, rental, or office? That calls for a Business Display License.
Still not sure?
Tell me the spot and roughly how wide the wall is, and I will help you choose. Write to me through the contact page.
Life should not be lived in a hurry. Take your time choosing.
