Are Canva Files 300 DPI?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 6:04 pm

When it comes to digital design, one of the most important things to consider is resolution. Resolution is the measure of how many pixels there are in an image, and the higher the resolution, the more clear and detailed the image will be. So, when it comes to printing images, the higher the resolution, the better.

Most digital design programs, like Canva, have a default resolution of 72 DPI (dots per inch). This is fine for web use, where images are typically viewed on screens with a lower resolution. But when it comes to printing images, you need a higher resolution – at least 300 DPI.

PRO TIP: Canva files are not 300 DPI. They are 72 DPI.

So, what happens if you try to print a Canva image that’s only 72 DPI? The answer is: it depends. If you’re printing on a home printer, chances are the image will print out just fine. But if you’re printing at a professional print shop, they may not be able to print your image at a high enough quality.

The bottom line is this: if you’re going to be printing your Canva designs, make sure to change the resolution to 300 DPI before you export the file. That way, you’ll be sure to get a high-quality print that looks great.

Yes, Canva files are 300 DPI.
