How to Export Canva Designs for Professional Printing
Share
To ensure your file come out crisp and perfectly aligned, please follow these steps to export your file from Canva:
- Open your design in Canva.
- Click the "Share" button in the top right corner.
- Select "Download" from the dropdown menu.
- Change the "File Type" to: PDF Print (This is the most important step for high resolution!).
- Check these two boxes:
-
- ✅ Crop marks and bleed (This ensures no white edges after we cut them).
- ✅ Flatten PDF (This ensures all your fonts and images stay exactly where you put them).
- Color Profile: If you have the "Pro" version, select CMYK. If not, RGB is fine and we will convert it for you.
- Click Download and email the file to us info@wimberleyprintingcompany.com !
Quick Checklist Before You Export:
- Resolution: Ensure any photos you uploaded are high quality (not blurry).
- Safe Zone: Keep all important text and logos at least 1/8" (0.125 in) away from the very edge of the page so nothing gets accidentally trimmed off.
