Providing Print Ready Files with Canva

To provide your artwork to using Canva, you will need to download your design as a PDF file. To do this:

  • Open your design in Canva.
  • Click the “Share” button in the top right corner.
  • Select “Download” from the drop-down menu.
  • In the “File type” section, select “PDF Print.”
  • Click the “Crop marks and bleed” box.
  • Click the “Download” button.

Once you have downloaded your design as a PDF file, you can send it to us for printing.

Here are some additional tips for providing artwork to printers using Canva:

  • Make sure your design is in CMYK colour mode. This is the colour mode used by printers, and it ensures that your colours will print accurately.
  • Use a high resolution (at least 300 dpi) for your images. This will ensure that your images print sharp and clear.
  • Include a bleed area around the edge of your design. This is a small margin of extra space that is trimmed off after printing. This helps to ensure that there is no white border around your printed piece.
