Do you accept files created in Canva?

Definitive guide to correctly export your Canva files before printing

Yes, at Dushi we accept files created in Canva, as long as you export them correctly as PDF for printing, with activated bleed, in CMYK and in high quality.
Canva is an excellent tool for users without professional design experience, but it only works well if exported properly.

What should I do before exporting my design from Canva?

1. Make sure to work in the final size

• Half letter
• Half legal
• Covers for books
• Custom sizes for catalogs or magazines

2. Activate bleeding from Canva

In Canva, bleeding appears as dotted lines around the design.
You must make sure to:

• Stretch images and colors to the edge
• Avoid texts outside the internal guides

Canva allows you to upload your images, but:

• They must be 300 dpi
• They must be in actual size
• Avoid WhatsApp images or screenshots
