If you have ever worked on a design project in Canva, you may have asked yourself, “What is the size of my Canva design?” It is important to know the size of your Canva design, whether it is for social media posts, presentations, or print media, to ensure the best possible presentation and display.
In this blog post, we will walk you through the process of determining your Canva size.
Step 1: Open Your Canva Design
Launch the Canva website or application and open the design whose size you want to determine.
Step 2: Check the Top Right Corner
Once your design is open, look at the top right corner of your screen. You’ll see two numbers separated by an “x”. These numbers represent the width and height of your design in pixels.
Step 3: Conversion (If Necessary)
If you want your design’s dimensions in inches rather than pixels, you’ll need to do a simple conversion. There are approximately 96 pixels in an inch, so you can divide the pixel count by 96 to get the size in inches.
For example, if your Canva size shows as 1200×800 pixels, this translates to approximately 12.5×8.3 inches.
Step 4: Adjusting the Size If Needed
If your design’s size is not what you need, you can easily adjust it. Click on the ‘Resize’ button at the top of your Canva screen, and input the desired dimensions. Remember, the sizes are usually in pixels. So if you want to change the size to inches, multiply the desired inch size by 96 to get the equivalent in pixels.
Example:
Desired size: 10” x 7”
Pixel equivalent: (10 x 96) x (7 x 96) = 960 x 672 pixels
Wrapping Up
Understanding how to determine and adjust your Canva size is crucial for creating professional and visually appealing designs. With this knowledge, you’re now equipped to create designs that fit perfectly into their intended spaces, be it a social media post, a poster, or a presentation slide.
It’s your turn to apply these simple steps and create stunning designs with ease!
