How Do I Upload a Canva PDF to KDP?

Last updated on November 16, 2022 @ 7:35 pm

Have you ever created a beautiful PDF in Canva, only to find out that you can’t upload it to KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing)?

If so, you’re not alone. It’s a common problem that many people run into.

The good news is that there is a workaround. All you need to do is export your PDF from Canva as an image.

Here’s how:

  1. Open your PDF in Canva.

  2. Click the “Download” button in the top right-hand corner.

  3. In the “Export” dialogue box that appears, select “Image.”

  4. Click the “Export” button.

Once your PDF has been exported as an image, you can upload it to KDP without any problems.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to upload a Canva PDF to KDP, be aware that there are some potential risks. Canva is a great tool for creating beautiful PDFs, but it is important to note that KDP does not always support all of the features that Canva offers. This can result in your PDF not looking quite the way you intended it to when viewed on Kindle devices. In addition, KDP may also compress your PDF, which can reduce the quality of your design. If you are not comfortable with these risks, we recommend using another method to create your PDF.

Conclusion

So, there you have it!, a quick and easy workaround for uploading Canva PDFs to KDP. Just remember to export your PDFs as images first, and you’ll be good to go.
