The [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapocket) CanvasPop photos allow smartphone users to create their own personalized artwork. Those who take pictures with the phones may now emblazon those very images on to [stretched canvas frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/layer-canvas), providing interior designers, photographers and even corporate individuals with the opportunity to display their on-the-go snapshots.

CanvasPop allows users to [print their images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-it) upon 12” x 12” or 20” x 20” boards. Those who log on to the site merely have to sign in to their Instagram account and select the dimensions they prefer, making the feature rather easy to use. This approach to office or at-home decor merges technology with art in a new way, furthering the intense connection between digital tools and nearly every aspect of life.
