🧑💻 Step-by-Step: Exporting a Print-Ready PDF from Canva

✅ Step 1: Set Correct Dimensions in Canva

Use the correct canvas size for the product you're printing. Here's a quick reference:

Product	Canva Design Size (inches)
Business Cards	3.5” x 2” (add bleed)
Flyers	5.5” x 8.5” or 8.5” x 11”
Roll-Up Banners	33” x 80” or custom
Foam Boards	18” x 24”, 24” x 36” or custom
Workbooks & Documents	8.5” x 11” (standard letter size)
Badges/Lanyards	3” x 4” or custom

📝 Tip: Always include 0.125" bleed on all sides (that’s 0.25" extra in width and height total) to avoid any white edge after trimming.

✅ Step 2: Download as a Print-Ready PDF

In Canva:

Click “Share” (top right corner)
Choose “Download”
Select File Type: PDF Print
Check these options:
- ✅ Crop marks and bleed
