Canva is a design platform that simplifies the creation of visual content, such as posters. A frequently asked question by Canva users is how to adjust the poster size. This tutorial provides an easy-to-follow guide for accomplishing this task.
Step 1: Open Your Design
To start, log into your Canva account and open the poster design you want to resize. If you have not created one, you can easily start by choosing from thousands of Canva’s pre-designed templates.
Step 2: Click on Resize
Once your poster design is open, locate the Resize option at the top of the page. Click on it, and a dropdown menu will appear.
Step 3: Enter the Desired Dimensions
You can either choose from the pre-set dimensions available or enter your custom dimensions. To do this, click on the Custom dimensions button at the top of the dropdown menu. Enter the width and height you want for your poster in the boxes provided, then click Copy & resize or Resize.
It’s important to note that Canva uses pixels as the default measurement unit but you can easily change it to inches, mm, or cm. Just click on the tiny arrow next to ‘px’ and choose your preferred unit of measurement.
Step 4: Save Your Design
Once you are satisfied with the new size of your poster, click the Download button at the top-right corner of the page. Choose the format you want and then click the blue Download button. Your poster will be saved in the new dimensions.
Conclusion
With these steps, you can easily change the size of your Canva poster to suit your needs. Canva is user-friendly, versatile, and offers a lot of customization options, making it a go-to tool for both professional designers and amateurs. Happy designing!
