How To Set Page Size In Canva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. On the Canva homepage, select Custom Size in the banner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Choose your unit from the drop-down menu: px, in, mm, or cm. For printing you’ll want the inches unit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Enter your width and height. Select the lock icon if you want them to stay in proportion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Select Create New Design.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    For print, you want to set your page size from the beginning so you don’t have to go back and resize and adjust your design elements later on. Set it to the finished size you want printed (for example, 8.5 x 11). Custom size is available on every Canva plan, and sizes can range from 40 x 40 px to 8000 x 3125 px. If a size field turns red, your number is outside those limits.<\/p>\n<\/div>
