Love that Prisma photo? Hang it as a canvas on your wall with CanvasPop

Add as a preferred source on Google

Your photos deserve a home better than your smartphone. Here to give it to them is CanvasPop, which will turn your Instagram snaps, Prisma photos, or just about any other pictures you can find into works of art — on canvas.

It’s not exactly a newcomer to the photography scene, as CanvasPop has turned people’s favorite Facebook and Instagram snaps into beautiful, wall-worthy pieces for years. But now, the printing company is working with Prisma, whose trendy art filters took the world by storm over the past summer.

Co-founder Adrian Salamunovic told TechCrunch that soon after Prisma’s launch, CanvasPop saw “hundreds” of orders come in, many of which involved Prisma’s painter-esque effects. Now, CanvasPop is in talks with Prisma regarding the integration of its own API with the editor’s iOS and Android apps.

But while that’s still in the works, you can still take your Prisma pieces to the CanvasPop website, and check out the new dedicated Prisma section.

If you have a photo you would like to see adorning your walls, rather than staying trapped in your iPhone or Android device, take it over to CanvasPop, which will optimize and enhance each and every photo it receives to ensure it looks its very best. They are not messing around, either — the company has printed more than 450,000 canvases and they are all guaranteed for life and are made with “only the highest quality materials.” And yes, they are all handcrafted in North America, too.

“Our mission is to surprise and delight our customers in everything we do,” the CanvasPop team says. “From our quality products to our amazing website and our obsessive customer service, we’re here to make you happy.” Thus far, it certainly looks as though the company has succeeded. No detail is spared, as each canvas is even signed by its maker.

So if you’re looking for a unique holiday gift for your friends and family, consider giving them a memory that will look good in any home.

The FCC’s latest crackdown could put more than DJI drones at risk in the US
Robot, Person, Face

DJI may have found creative ways to keep some of its products flowing into the US, but those efforts are now drawing increased attention from regulators. According to The Verge, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has started cracking down on several companies it believes could be helping DJI continue selling products in the country. These businesses have been described by industry observers as "DJI front companies" because they market or import products that appear to be closely tied to the Chinese drone maker while operating under different brand names.

I bought Kodak’s viral keychain camera, and the bad photos are part of its charm
The Kodak Charmera is barely a camera, and I still keep using it
Machine, Wheel, Camera

I bought the Kodak Charmera partly because I wanted a portable digital camera, and partly because I wanted a pretty little collectible. The Charmera is sold as a blind box, so you do not know which version you are getting until the box is opened. There are multiple retro Kodak-style designs, plus a transparent secret edition that looks like the one everyone would want.

I had the shopkeeper pick my box for better luck, and it worked out. I got the yellow variant, which is inspired by Kodak's original 80s disposable camera. The transparent one is definitely the fun collector’s piece, but the yellow model feels like the proper Kodak version. It looks like a tiny toy camera that escaped from a souvenir shop, found a keyring, and now hangs around wherever you go.

Yashica's new camera makes toy photography more fun
YASHICA Funtastic Keychain Camera in multiple variants

Tiny digital cameras are all the rage, and Yashica is now offering a very cute toy photography experience of its own. The company’s new Funtastic Keychain Camera is exactly what the name suggests, a miniature digital camera small enough to clip onto your keys, bag, or lanyard. The popular Kodak Charmera is the obvious comparison, which brings a tiny blind-box keychain camera that became a viral collectible.

Now, Yashica's version lands in the same novelty-camera lane, but adds one very useful trick, which is a 180-degree flip screen.
