Turn Your Photos into Art

With couples getting more and more creative when it comes to their weddings and honeymoons, it helps to think outside the box when it comes to gifts. Pixuru is a unique, easy way to create custom prints of your own photos to give as gifts or commemorate your destination wedding or honeymoon. Best of all, you can create your own artwork straight from your iPhone in a matter of minutes.

Once you’ve selected a photo which you want to be large and on display in your or your friend’s home – you’re able to choose the type of art you want to create and also the size. Choose from canvas, wood, metal or framed art. You also have the option of splitting one image into three or four panels. It’s easy to import your photo; simply choose an image from your camera gallery, Facebook or Instagram account.

The entire process is done within Pixuru’s free mobile app. We were able to try out the process and it honestly couldn’t have been easier. From start to finish, it took me under five minutes to choose my image, art type, edit, size and even fill in all my payment and shipping information. I chose a shot from a recent trip to Morocco and now have a beautiful canvas image to commemorate one of the toughest hikes I’ve ever done!

If you’re honeymooning and capture the shot of your dreams, download Pixuru, order a print and it will be waiting at your front door when you return. Prints start at just $20 and with Pixuru, shipping is always free. Ordering a gift? Not to worry – Pixuru’s branding and packaging is cute enough that you can have the print shipped straight to your loved one’s door. For more information, visit pixuru.com.
