Our tips for your gifts..

 

… for your relatives?

Big Prints at Pixum

According to your taste, you can get different kinds of images printed on canvas, e.g. a beautiful landscape or garden or a great family portrait . You can even use our Acrylic- and Aluminium Prints outside to decorate exterior walls (e.g. of your house).

Be assured to earn many impressed comments about a triptych you designed yourself. This is a piece of art consisting of three parts – but it is also possible to create a triptych with photos, as this one proves:

You need:

  • three photos (from the same series) that suit each other or
  • a photo that was separated into three parts by an image editing program

Steps to do:

  • if applicable, edit or crop your photos (Please pay attention to the format your photos shall have later on!)
  • choose your desired product, e.g. canvas print or acrylic print
  • upload every photo, you prepared, with the corresponding product editor and put it into the shopping basket
  • Please check: there should be three products in your shopping basket!
  • Place your order and you are able to look forward to a great Christmas gift :)
