Canva is a versatile design tool that offers various sizes for different projects, including social media posts, business cards, and presentations. However, there might be instances when you need to adjust the Canva size to meet your specific needs. This blog post will guide you through the process of changing the Canva size in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Open Canva
First, open Canva on your browser. Log in to your account, or if you don’t have an account, you can create one easily. You can also use Canva without logging in, but you will not be able to save your projects.
Step 2: Start a New Design
Click on the Create a design button at the top right corner of your screen. You will see a dropdown menu with various design types. You can choose any of these options, but for the purpose of this tutorial, we will use the Custom dimensions option.
Step 3: Set Custom Dimensions
Click on the Custom dimensions option at the bottom of the dropdown menu. You will see two boxes: one for width and one for height. Enter your desired dimensions in pixels, millimeters, or inches. Then, click on the Create new design button.

Step 4: Resize Existing Design
If you’ve already started a design and want to change its size, you can do this by clicking on the Resize button on the toolbar at the top of your screen. Enter your new dimensions, and Canva will automatically adjust your design to the new size. Keep in mind that some elements may need to be rearranged to fit the new size.
