Stretched canvas, floating frame or framed print?

Canvas buyers often can't name the product they want, so your photos have to show it. Here is how the three look on a wall.

Stretched canvas

No frame. The canvas wraps around a wooden bar frame and hangs bare, so the side edge and a soft shadow on the wall are the main details. Relaxed and modern.

Floating-frame canvas

The same canvas set inside an open frame with a narrow gap all round. The gap and frame colour are what buyers look for. Reads as premium.

Framed print

Paper behind a frame, often with a mat and glazing. No gap and no canvas edge. See the frame mockup generator for this product.

What is a floating frame, and why the gap matters

A floating frame, or floater frame, is an L-shaped frame. The canvas sits inside it, fixed from behind, with a small space between the canvas edge and the inner side of the frame. From the front you see a dark line of shadow around the art. That line is the whole point: it makes the canvas look as if it hovers inside the frame.

Many generic frame mockups draw a canvas tight against the frame, like a framed print. A buyer who orders a floating-frame canvas from that photo may expect a different product. WallMock draws framed canvas with the gap visible, so the photo and the parcel agree.

What canvas listing photos should show

A full room view. The canvas above a sofa, bed or sideboard, so the size is obvious at a glance.
The edge. For stretched canvas, a view where the canvas edge shows. For a floating frame, a closer room where the gap and frame finish show.
Each frame finish you sell. Floating frames come in black, white, natural oak, walnut, espresso, gold or silver. Custom frame colours are also available. The same canvas in each finish you sell, in the same room, makes choosing easy.
Its real shape. Canvas is often sold square, panoramic or tall. Show each shape in a room that suits it; see panoramic and tall art mockups.

WallMock shows canvas stretched or in a floating frame. It does not show rolled, unstretched canvas, so if you sell rolled canvas, say so clearly in your listing text.

Questions

What is a floating frame canvas?

A stretched canvas mounted inside an open frame with a narrow gap between the canvas edge and the frame. The canvas is fixed from behind, so it looks as if it floats. It is also called a floater frame.

Does a canvas print need a frame?

No. A stretched canvas is ready to hang as it is, with the image or a colour wrapped around its sides. A floating frame is an upgrade that adds a finished edge and protects the corners.

What is the difference between stretched canvas and framed canvas?

A stretched canvas is fabric pulled over a wooden bar frame and hung bare. A framed canvas is the same stretched canvas placed in a frame, usually a floating frame. The image is the same; the edge and the price are different.

Why should a canvas mockup show the gap?

Because the gap is what tells buyers it is a floating-frame canvas and not a framed print. A mockup that hides it, or draws a mat instead, sets the wrong expectation.

Can I show panoramic or tall canvases?

Yes, in rooms reviewed for those shapes. Your file keeps its own proportions and is never stretched, from square to wide panoramic and tall pieces.

Will the canvas texture change my artwork?

WallMock places your file as it is: it is never redrawn, repainted or upscaled by AI. The colours and details in the photo come from your own file.
