Turn a year of your child's art into a book or poster

Once you've saved a year of drawings, Canvasy can turn them into something you can hold or hang — without any design work on your part.

Make an art book. From a child's gallery you can build an art book: their pieces laid out in order, one per page, ready to print. It's a lovely end-of-year keepsake, a gift for grandparents, or just a tidy record of how their drawing changed over twelve months. If you've added each child's birth month, the book shows their age next to each piece. If you've added each child's birth month, the book can show their age alongside each piece.

Make a year poster. Prefer one thing to put on the wall? A year poster puts a whole year of a child's art onto a single page — a grid of everything they made. It makes a striking print for a bedroom door or a hallway, and a quick way to see the year at a glance.

Pick the year. Both the book and the poster can be made for a specific year, so you can do one per child, per year, and watch the collection grow.

Print it your way. The art book and the poster are print-ready pages. Use your browser's Print, then choose "Save as PDF" to keep a digital copy, or send it to a printer at home or a photo-print shop. Nothing is sent anywhere automatically; you stay in control of what gets made.

It all comes from what you already saved. You don't set anything up specially — the book and poster are built from the pieces you've already uploaded and tagged to that child. Keep adding art through the year and the book gets richer on its own.
