Looking for a gift idea that feels like a hug? Custom printed pillows are a great way to create a one-of-a-kind accent piece for someone special. And with the holidays coming up, photo pillows make snuggly Christmas gifts and festive decor that spark cheer for family and friends. Whether you feature treasured photos or a sweet message, you can create a vibrantly printed, cozy keepsake they’ll love to keep close.

Designed your way

Made with a soft yet durable 100% polyester cover and available in 2 sizes (14" x 14" and 18" x 18"), printed throw pillows make comfy accessories for beds, loveseats and more. And with both single-sided and double-sided printing, you have plenty of design options – print on one side, match the front to the back or upload something completely different onto each side.

Easy design, prompt shipping

To create your picture pillow, start by browsing our templates. We have everything from stylish monograms to kid-friendly templates that look great in nurseries and playrooms. Select a favourite then upload whatever high-res images you’d like (opt for at least 150 DPI for the best print quality). We'll take care of the rest, printing your images with sharp detail and brilliant colour. With over 20 years of experience in printing custom pillows, we'll ensure your pillow arrives ready to wow. And with our fast, reliable shipping across Canada and multiple delivery options, we’ll ensure they arrive when you need them.

Love, love, love it!! The colour, size and sharpness of the photo on the pillow is amazing. The pillow material inside and out is very nicely put together ... soft but firm. Thank you Vistaprint.

Pillows too small
Nov 3, 2026 | Marie C. | Canada Canada
Look at the size I thought I was getting vs what I received. Can you take all four pillows back and reprint in larger size in exchange for these they are way too small.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We are sorry the size of the pillow turned out to be too small. Thank you for providing a photo showing the size. We are happy to look into the matter for you. Please reply to this email with the order number, so we can review the details. We look forward to your response.

Pillow too Small
Nov 3, 2026 | Marie C. | Canada Canada
I ordered four pilllows two for my couch and two for a gift for my parents for Christmas. I measured my existing couch pillows at home 14 x 14 and when I got mine yesterday the ones I ordered looked a lot smaller . Tried to upload photos but they wont upload. Can you take these back?
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your disappointment, especially since the pillows were intended for your home and as Christmas gifts. To help us look into this further, could you please confirm the size of the pillows you received and share a photo showing one of the pillows alongside a ruler or measuring tape? Please also provide your order number, so we can review the order details. Once we have this information, we’ll be happy to look into your concern and advise you on the available options. For an immediate solution, please reach out to our Customer Support team via https://www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/

Frequently asked questions

Yes. You can easily design a custom picture pillow by uploading your own photos or choosing from our wide selection of design templates. Just select a size and head into our design studio to get started. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Select a pillow size.
  2. Upload an image of your choice (we recommend using a photo or design with at least 150 dots per inch). Or, browse our wide selection of templates – including cute collages, pet-themed designs, non-photo options and so much more.
  3. Head into the studio. Here, you can upload and add images to your chosen template, edit the text and insert any other details you like.
  4. Review your work to make sure it’s exactly to your liking.
  5. Place your order. And that’s it, you’re good to go!

To keep your pillow looking its best, we recommend that you spot or dry clean it. Since our custom throw pillows do not have zippers, we don’t advise trying to use a washing machine.

We have hundreds of templates you can browse. You can also upload an image or design to make your own personalized pillow gift or custom pet pillow. For the best printing results, we recommend you use a file with a minimum of 150 DPI.

We use dye-sublimation printing to create your photo pillow. This method creates a vibrant, high-quality print that won’t flake off or crack.

Make sure to stretch your image across the entire design area while you’re designing your photo pillow.

We offer 2 size options, 14" x 14" and 18" x 18". See below for decorating suggestions.

  • 14" x 14" size: Ideal for smaller chairs, benches and kids’ bedrooms. Or, prop it next to other pillows of different sizes for an eye-catching, snuggly display.
  • 18" x 18": A classic, versatile option that steals the show on beds and couches (plus, it makes a cozy cuddle companion). This just-right size is also ideal for gifting.

Delivery times vary depending on your location in Canada and the shipping speed you select. We currently offer 4 shipping speeds; economy (with delivery as soon as 8 business days), standard (6 business days), express (3 business days) and rush (2 business days, available on select items).

Be sure to check out our shipping page for more info.

Yes. Our 2-sided printing allows you to print the same image on both sides of your pillow or add a different design to each side.

Absolutely. Our preview tool allows you to preview both the front and back of your pillow as you’re customizing in the studio.
