Last updated on December 8, 2022 @ 5:44 am

When you first start using Canva, the default poster size is “Letter.” But what if you want to change your poster size to something else, like “A3” or “Custom”?

Luckily, it’s easy to change your poster size in Canva – and it’s free! Here’s how:

  1. Login to your Canva account. If you don’t have a Canva account yet, you can sign up for one here.
  2. Start a new design. Click on the “Create a design” button on the homepage.
  3. Click on “Custom dimensions.” In the drop-down menu, select “Custom dimensions.”
  4. Enter your desired poster size.
  5. For example, if you want to create an A3 poster, enter “11.7 in x 16.5 in” into the width and height fields. Or, if you want to create a custom-sized poster, enter your desired width and height into the respective fields.

  6. Click on “Create New Design.”

And that’s it! Now you can start designing your poster with all of the amazing tools that Canva has to offer.

PRO TIP: This article contains instructions on how to change your poster size in Canva for free. However, it is important to note that Canva’s free version only offers a limited number of poster sizes. If you require a specific size that is not available in the free version, you will need to upgrade to Canva Pro.
