How to Prepare a Canva File for Professional Printing (Safety Area, Bleed, Crop Marks)

Learn how to prepare your ‪@canva‬ file for printing with a professional printer the easy way and the way I recommend!

NOTE: If you create your canvas to your printer’s specs, remember that a portion (the bleed) will be cut off. This means you’ll need to leave a bigger margin between the canvas edges and your text, logo, and other elements.

UPDATE: You can now convert your file to the CMYK color profile! Be sure to do this, as printers work with CMYK. *Must have a Canva Pro account.

DPI cannot be adjusted in Canva, so make sure any images you upload are set to the DPI you need.

If a file has to be super accurate and follow printer guidelines that Canva is unable to accommodate, I recommend designing in Illustrator or InDesign instead.
