Canva Pro Ganging Instructions

FOR CANVA PRO ONLY!
• Once you click on the button a drop-down menu will appear.

Step 2: Enter the Desired Settings

• In the Custom Size drop-down menu, change the default unit of measure from Pixels to Inches.

• Once you change to Inches, you can then enter your canvas size.  Due to Canva's Pro current limitations the max length is 80" in order to keep the artwork print friendly.  If greater than 80" the download will be altered to compressed and dpi of 72. So standard canvas size make 23"x80".

• Click Create New Design -you'll be redirected to a new page

 Step 3: Add Rulers

• Under the FILE menu found in the top left corner, SETTINGS select the Show Rulers and Guides option to turn the rulers on in the preview window.

• This will help confirm your artwork size once you've resized your artwork.

Step 4: Upload Your Art

• Upload your art file from your computer by clicking on Uploads on the left hand side. 

• Canva accepts .SVG, .PNG, .PDF, .TIF or .JPG. In this example, we are using PNG's.

• Click Upload Files and select the file from your computer.

• Tip: each upload must be of high resolution (min. Dpi 300), no background and no excess (empty space).

Step 5: Add Your Art to the Canvas

• Next, click on the image to add it to the canvas or drag it on the canvas.

• Drag your image to the left corner and click it one time. You will see 4 “points” appear.

• Now drag the right lower “node” and you will see the measurement appear as you drag and enlarge the file.

Step 6: Resize Time

• Continue dragging the file until you've made it the size you want. 

Step 7: Save Your Resized File

• Next, click File in the top menu and click the file name to edit.

• Enter the name of your art file. This is optional - unless renamed, the default name will be "untitled"

• Select Download from the top menu. On the right, you will see a drop down menu to select your file type.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART NO MATTER WHAT! IF THIS IS NOT DONE YOU CAN NOT HAVE OPTIMAL PRINT OUTS NO MATTER WHO THE VENDOR IS!

• Dpi slider slide all the way to the right. This allows the dpi to be print friendly. 

• We recommend selecting the PNG and ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS check mark TRANSPARENT.
