Explainer videos for wall art: size, pixels and hanging
Six short, silent, captioned videos answer common wall art questions: which size fits a wall, how many pixels a print needs, how high to hang it, how far apart frames go, what a phone photo can print and how canvas differs from framed print. Each page has a transcript with sources.
Which size for your wall
0:30, silent, captioned. Multiply your wall width by 40, 50 or 60 percent, then pick the largest listed framed canvas that fits. Worked on a 96 inch wall.
Photo pixels to print size
0:31, silent, captioned. The Studio 100 ppi file rule in 30 seconds: multiply inches by 100. Three examples, 4 x 6, 12 x 18 and 24 x 36 inches, with a quick check.
How to hang art at 57 inches
0:30, silent, captioned. Centre the picture about 57 inches above the floor. See the diagram, the bottom edge arithmetic and what four sources say. Check hardware ratings.
Gallery wall spacing, 2 to 3 inches
0:30, silent, captioned. Sources suggest 2 to 3 inches between frames for a gallery wall. Watch the formula and two worked rows of three 12 inch frames: 40 and 42 inches.
Phone camera megapixels to print size
0:30, silent, captioned. What can a 12, 24 or 48 megapixel phone photo print? At 100 pixels per inch: 30 x 40, 36 x 48 and 48 x 60 inches. Actual size depends on the mode.
Canvas vs framed print vs poster
0:30, silent, captioned. Canvas is fabric on bars, a framed print is paper behind glazing, a poster is paper alone. Weights and gsm from seller guides, not tests.
How these videos work
Each video is about 30 seconds long, has no sound, and shows its words as captions. Every page carries the full transcript, the key facts, the sources and the date the figures are as of, so the numbers can be read and quoted as text.
