If you’re looking to add some personalized, stylish flair to your Etsy shop, Canva printables are a great way to do it!

Canva is a free online design platform that’s perfect for creating simple designs for printables. Plus, they have a handy Etsy integration that makes it easy to upload your designs directly to your Etsy shop.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to sell Canva printables on Etsy, be aware that there are a few things you need to do in order to avoid copyright infringement. First, make sure that the designs you create are completely your own and do not use any copyrighted images or text. Secondly, when you upload your designs to Canva, be sure to select the “For Commercial Use” option so that buyers will be able to print them without issue. Finally, include a note in your listing that the design is for personal use only and may not be resold or used for commercial purposes. By following these simple steps, you can avoid any legal issues down the road.

Here’s how to get started making Canva printables for your Etsy shop:

  1. Start by creating a free account on Canva. You’ll need to provide an email address and create a password. Once you’re logged in, you can start creating your design.
  2. Choose the dimensions for your design. For printables, you’ll want to choose a standard paper size like A4 or Letter. Then, select the custom dimensions option and enter in your desired width and height.
  3. Choose a background or template for your design. Canva has tons of great background images and templates to choose from. Start by browsing the backgrounds or templates section and then select the one you want to use for your design.
  4. Add text, images, and other elements to your design. Once you’ve selected a background or template, you can start adding text, images, and other elements to your design. Simply click on the element you want to add and then drag it into place. You can also use the search bar to find specific elements.
  5. Download your design as a PDF. When you’re happy with your design, click the Download button in the top-right corner and select PDF – Print. This will download your design as a high-quality PDF file.
  6. Upload your PDF file to Etsy. To upload your file to Etsy, go to Your Shop > Listings and click the Upload button in the top-right corner. Then, select Sell Prints from the drop-down menu and click Choose File. Select your PDF file from wherever it’s saved on your computer and then click Open.

That’s it! You’re now ready to start selling Canva printables in your Etsy shop.
