How Do I Get 300 DPI in Canva?

Last updated on January 13, 2023 @ 12:06 pm

There are a few steps that you need to take in order to get 300 DPI in Canva.

The first thing that you need to do is open Canva and click on the “Create a design” button.

Once you have done that, you will be taken to the editor page. On the left-hand side of the editor page, you will see a menu with a bunch of different options.

One of those options is “Uploads.” Click on that.

Once you have clicked on “Uploads,” you will see another menu pop up with two options: “Upload your own images” and “Select from Canva’s library of over 1 million royalty-free images, illustrations, and videos.” Choose whichever option you want and follow the instructions.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with design principles, we recommend that you refrain from using Canva or any online design tool. These tools are meant for experienced designers and can result in low-quality designs if used without proper understanding.

After you have uploaded the image that you want to use, click on it so that it is selected. Once it is selected, click on the “Edit” button in the top-right corner of the editor page. A new menu will pop up with a bunch of different options. One of those options is “Image Settings“.

In the “Image Settings” menu, there is an option for “DPI.” Change the DPI to 300 and then click on the “Apply” button.

Alternatively, you can also directly go to the “Share” button, download your image in “PDF Print” format and select “CMYK” as the color profile. This ensures that you have a 300 DPI image copy ready for professional printing. If you want to convert the PDF format of your image to JPG or PNG, you can simply use a third-party website or software to do so.

And that’s it! You have now successfully changed the DPI of your image to 300.
