Decide on a size.** **2. Gather pictures and captions.** **3. Scan and upload.**   ![A nostalgic moment between a son and his mom as they flip through cherished childhood photos in a family album](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0369/3903/8851/files/Asian_Gran_Grandson_iStock-1218145923_480x480.jpg?v=1678165101) (If you have any questions*, *[contact us](https://reminisart.ca/pages/contact-us) and we'll help get you started.) ![Icon of image resizing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0369/3903/8851/files/Infographic-v2_Group2_240x240.jpg?v=1614113141) **1. Decide on a size.** You can put vinyl canvason almost any painted wall. Think about where your loved one spends their time and what they can see without twisting or straining. **Choose the largest size that fits**, so that details are visible from across the room. If the room is wallpapered, opt for a satin paper print. Small or medium collages will fit common frame sizes.  ![Icon of choosing photos](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0369/3903/8851/files/Infographic-Step_04-Inverted_240x240.jpg?v=1613525401) **2. Gather pictures and captions.** This is the fun part! Gather friends and family to **choose pictures that show your loved one's best life**. Photos should be meaningful: think of special times, proud moments, and important people and places.  ![A touching moment between a father and his daughter sitting together to write the life story of their loved one.](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0369/3903/8851/files/Father_Daughter_captions_iStock-1426302886_480x480.jpg?v=1678165736) Write **simple, short captions** for each picture, and provide a short summary of your loved one for the whole collage—one or two sentences that tells their story, captures their essence, or shares their outlook on life.    ![Icon of uploading images from a box](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0369/3903/8851/files/Screen_Shot_2021-02-19_at_11.47.51_AM_240x240.jpg?v=1614112826) **3. Scan and upload photos.** [Scan your photos](https://reminisart.ca/blogs/news/how-to-digitize-a-photos-as-high-resolution-and-high-quality) (or have them scanned) **as large, high resolution jpeg files.** Do not crop, edit, or compress your files.
