How Do I Change the Paper Size in Canva?

Last updated on November 17, 2022 @ 7:52 pm

There are three primary ways to change the paper size in Canva:

  1. Selecting a preset paper size from the drop-down menu in the Page Setup section of the Home tab.
  2. Changing the dimensions of your design using the Width and Height fields in the Page Setup section.
  3. Manualizing your design by clicking and dragging on the white space around your design.

To change the paper size using a preset:

  1. Navigate to the Home tab.
  2. Locate the Page Setup section near the top of the interface. Click on the drop-down menu next to Paper Size.
  3. Select your desired paper size from the list of presets.

To change the dimensions of your design:

  1. Enter your desired width and height into the Width and Height fields, respectively.

    Note:

    If you enter values into both width and height fields, your design will be constrained to those dimensions (e.g., a 5″ x 7″ design).

To manualize your design:

  1. Navigate to the Home tab.
  2. Locate the Page Setup section near the top of the interface.
PRO TIP: If you are not careful, changing the paper size in Canva can mess up your design. Make sure to save your work often, and check the preview before you print to make sure everything looks correct.
