Thank you so much for this amazing and clear video. I know it's an old video, so maybe you will and maybe you won't see my question. I will give it a try as I have been researching this topic for so long now (like many of us for sure), and your explanation was absolutely great. However I am still unclear on one thing: dpi. I understand everything you explained, I even created an xls-file for myself with all ratios, pixels and so on. But CANVA has a limitation of pixels and it creates apparently only designs at a standard of 96 dpi. For high-resolution printing we want 300 dpi. I tried now with one poster. I resized everything in CANVA in all ratios as mentioned, which was super simple. I downloaded a PDF PRINT for each, which says to have 300 dpi. Now how do I make sure that it does have 300 dpi? I can't find it in document properties in my adobe reader. And if it is good and at 300 dpi, but a customer asks for a jpg instead at 300 dpi. As far as I understand, you can't create all ratios with CANVA, correct? you will have to use inkscape or maybe photopea? Thank you so much for your time and help with this in case you read it. I have created so much now and I am stuck on this part, I really appreciate your help!!!!
thanks for that great video. I dont have Canva Pro for resizing, is there an easy and free way? I'm on a Mac and have done resizing using 'Preview' but it a bit laborious - Thank you!
Thought I’d just lend a hand in assisting as I have the free version of Canva - although a little fiddly, all you need to do is once you’ve created your initial design, go back onto Home and click on create design > custom design > enter the dimensions then just copy the elements from your initial design and paste them onto the new art board and make any adjustments if need be. You then repeat the same process for the other sizes your looking to create sizes for.
Very helpful, thank you. I'd worked out most of this from looking at Etsy listings, but it was very helpful to have it all confirmed (including the printing in PDF not JPG bit). Thank you - liked and subscribed! 😊
Thank you for this! Just confirming: you really only need to provide the largest of each ratio, then tell the customers they can print any of the smaller versions from those large files, correct? I think that’s literally what you’re saying but I confuse easily. LOL!
Thanks for the insights. What if I put a large file of a certain ratio, say, 2:3 and there are 3 image wall art on Etsy. Does it mean I have to put the 5 highest different aspect ratios in each image?
Great question. No you don't. You can upload up to 5 files to Etsy so I recommend just zipping a folder with the different sizes or uploading each file to the listing Hope that makes sense
I hope you can help me here. I draw my art then clean in photoshop and create all sizes in photoshop my each files in RGB color 300 dpi are around 8 yo 11 mb in higher quality. while I have seen canva files are way too smaller. so I am confused are those files gives good result or photoshop is unnecessary creating large files? as Etsy have limit of 15 mb files and thats the reason I cannot compress all files to gather and cannot offer various size
If you're working in PS then no reason to resize somewhere else. I'm sure Canva will provide a level of compression. I would use an outside source to upload like dropbox or google drive
Thank you, this is so helpful! I'm in the research fase in all of this, semi familiar with canva, but not on Etsy yet. Do you recommend downloading as pdf print always, or is it different depending on if it is a photo or illustration art?
Hello this was super helpful i have a 24×36 and I couldn't get the right dpi in canvas but I went to sticker mule and got a higer one 9216×13824 is that ok ore does it have to be exactly 7200×10800
Do you suggest adding an addition PDF sheet with instructions on ratio sizing, and any instructions the buyer might need if not too computer savvy? And what to add?
Hi Lulu yes you can always include a PDF explaining the largest size is made available and it can be sized down using any typical printing software. Because those programs vary differently I would just let them know they can contact you for help.
I have a question I have a wide image like the one you used and resized in this video It was a wide image, so if I resize it Should I mention that it's a 4:5 image or a 5:4? 16x20 or 20x16?
Hi! Love youre videos. Can i ask how you would save all the ISO sizes (5:7 ratio) for sale on Etsy? Do I make a A0 and this can be used to make the smaller sizes?
This is a great video! Thanks for the content. I would lock your focus on your recording camera before you start filming because the constant re-focusing is a bit distracting from your great content. Other than that, awesome job!
Thanks for the tips! It's on auto-focus and is a webcam. I need to up my camera game up soon but just haven't had the time. I'll play around with it a little more.
What are your thoughts on providing files that contain crop marks and bleed so the customer can take to a print shop to have it "professionally" printed? Also do you suggest what paper you should print on? Thanks for the info
Always a good idea if you have a pull page print to provide crop marks and bleed. Most will just print at home. Also most programs don't require a lot to add this so No big thing. As far as paper any high quality cardstock always works well for me at home
@@ShootingStarSVGI know print shops like to have the crop marks and such ,but wasn't sure if the average customer would even use them. I guess it doesn't hurt to offer this for customers. Whats a pull page? just curious. As for paper just wanted to add a suggestions to customers so they can get best quality print. Thanks for the reply
Thank you for your valuable video! I have a question, I have a photo 20x30 at 300 dpi, I sized it in Photoshop and the size is larger than Etsy's 20 mg limit. How can I add my file to Etsy?
This tutorial was exellent THANK YOU this is the most confusing aspect of creating printable art but becoming less so :D. However, you said PDF is the best print quality but why is everyone looking for JPG 300 dpi isn't this not better quality than a PDF?? Also I was a bit confused with the dowloading on Canva .. I saw how easily you can resize for every ratio just creating the larges size.. do you then need to download them all individually (as i saw you just downloaded once) sorry still confused about this part 😊 maybe could you do a quick tutorial on this for beginners ?! THANK YOU AGAIN!
I would be happy to do another video for beginners on how to resize. I think most people use JPEG so they can utilize print providers as not all places take PDF. However you have the capability to take your PDF and convert to a high quality JPEG. I'll get something out on that soon.
@@ShootingStarSVG thanks for taking the time to respond! I think i've figured out the downloading question I had since my last comment. I dowloaded the largest size for each ratio individually, saved them all to a folder and then compressed it to a zip file think i'm getting the hang of the techy side :D. Can you then upload that one zip file to a pdf to jpeg converter tool and it will convert them all at once ??!! probably not as that would be too easy :D. A tutorial on how to do that would be extremely helpful !!! Why is the hell doesn't Canva allow the option to download to JPEG 300 dpi???!!! This would make life so much easier at least for us not so great techy types 😀
Thanks for this info but I'm having problems with my photos as when I resize them Etsy says my files are to large even when I put them in a zip folder. This is stopping me setting up my shop. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
The top sellers on Etsy say their photography downloads are in 300dpi (ppi) but when I change mine in PS the max size goes down significantly so very large print sizes aren't possible. 300 really isn't necessary for large prints that will be viewed from a distance so what gives? Are people just saying this because the average person doesn't know these technical aspects? I've printed medium sized photos in 72ppi and they have all come out great - what do you suggest?
Great question. I am working on a video right now to explain the difference between PPI and DPI. Cameras and computer screens compute everything in pixels per inch so a 1X1 inch drawing at 300 PPI would have 300 pixels per one inch inside of it. Printers print in dots, which is where the DPI comes from. in a 1x1 inch square a 300 DPI image would print 300 dots to make up the image. That same 1x1 inch at 75 DPI would have 75 dots so which would have the better quality? 75 dots per inch or 300? It also depends on what you state about viewing distance - something with a viewing distance that is large will not need as high of a resolution compared to something that will be viewed at 6 inches. In the video I create I am going to make a few examples in PPI and then also print a few DPI options. Hopefully it will help clear the stigma. I'm not sure of the PS settings you are using (and am not super familiar with the platform) but I think you may just need to do the math. If you hop on over to the FB group and show me some examples I can help guide you through it!
Hi I hope you can answer my question as I am desperately trying to find the answer. I've just opened an etsy shop for digital nursery prints. I'm getting the graphics/illustrations from creative fabrica or creative market but am unsure how far I can resize the printing size? For example if I have a PNG of a lion that is 4000x4000 px,can I still put it on a blank canva resizing to A2? Or a larger size ? I'm so confused. :(
You can resize graphics to fit a print size however I do not recommend just leaving them as is on a print because that's infringement Not sure what you're trying to accomplish with your files so it may be best to post in the FB group so we can help you out
This is so great. Do you have any advice regarding RGB and CMYK color modes? What has been best, in your experience, for selling digital files that customers use to print on their own (or at local print shops etc)? Thank you for the content!
RGB usually is for Computers and CMYK is for Printing. If you Upload a RGB Image and Print it, it will be printed with the CMYK Colors, so the Printed result might look Different than the RGB One. Depending on the Colors of your Image, the difference can be quite big.
Thank you so much for this video! I've watched so many others & yours is by far the most helpful. I do have one question though, what is the difference between DPI & PPI? I keep getting contradicting answers. I used photoshop in the past (though not for professional use just personal) & have now transitioned to Gimp because I don't wanna pay for photoshop monthly. I would always design everything to be 300 DPI, but in Gimp it uses PPI. Is that the same? Should my images be 300 PPI? I can't seem to get a definitive answer.
PPI is pixels per inch. It's what the computer processes on the screen. DPI is dots per inch and what your printer uses when printing images. If you had a 1x1 inch square in PPI you would have 100 pixels in the square (pixel is a tiny square) and 1x1 inch for a printer, your printer would produce 100 dots per inch of color. Does that make sense?
Are all the elements in Canva already 300dpi? I'm just wondering if I enlarge the elements and print the page, if it'll look blurry or not. Does the element dpi size matter if I'm going to download as high quality PDF on Canva pro?
Thanks for all your helpful information! I though I'd seen a video where you'd mention the converting of a Canva PNG to 300 DPI images elsewhere (other than using PDF print) Was there a particular program or website we can use for this? I use Canva only at the moment. Thank you so much for all your wonderful content.
Hi first thanks for this informative video! So I have a question: when I'm exporting the pdf file and look up the resolution it's way too low. So about 1000 px for a 16x20 inch design. Is it nevertheless a good quality? And is it an oputunity to resize the px to make sure I have the right px number for 300dpi? (Also for png and jpeg) Would help me a lot:)
Can you print 4 x 6 or 6 x 8 in PDF? I can't find a place (in Australia) where they would print a 4 x 6 (6 X 8) PDF file. Looks like it has to be in jpeg or png..
How do you explain to customers how to downsize PDF files from 24x36 to 4x6? Do you tell them to use % and scale it down? I can't find a way using PDF reader to scale it down other than by %?
Generally most will be using a print shop therefore the company should be able to scale down for the customer without a concern. Since there are SO many different programs out there to print at home it would be impossible for me to show all of the different ways. However most would use a scale to print or fit to paper type print application. Hopefully that makes sense
Anyone used canva PDFs...when I'm doing a set of 6, A3 prints combined into one PDF, a file size of 100mb is being produced.eep I'm worried when someone needs to print through a printing service online it won't upload. What do others do? Do I make each file separately as a PDF.
I am using Inkscape. When I save a large image as a PDF it cuts off most of my image. What am I doing wrong? Another question is will it work if I save an image as a PNG with 300 dpi. Open that PNG in inkscape and then save as a PDF?
I would have to see what you're doing to see what's going on. Feel free to join the FB group and post examples (facebook.com/groups/shootingstarsvg) You can try that and see what happens going from PNG to PDF. Also double check you have page selected in the export window when saving.
I just purchased an Esty digital file, JPG that I downloaded, it was not a zip file...It is 6000 x 4000 Pixels, 72 resolution and 67 MB. What I don't understand is how is that possible when I try to upload a 47 MB image Etsy won't allow me and a message pops up that says only 25 MB max is allowed. Can someone please help?
Argh I made like 200 designs on canva using 5x7" and want to sell in larger sizes. I'm concerned they won't size well since I designed in small size...do you have any suggestion besides redesigning everything from scratch?🥴😧
@@ShootingStarSVG argh, thanks for your reply，so should I just sell them in 5x7 size? I could resize them on canva pro but I don't know if they will end up blurry. I don't want to disregard 200 designs altogether😓
You can use another upload service like dropbox or google drive to share your links. Just create the folder in dropbox or google drive and create a PDF to share the link and upload that.
Great video! For the ISO ratio, is it also possible to scale down from A2 to A6 and maintain the quality? Also how do I get my digital art to be 300 dpi?
Yes you can. DPI is just how many dots are printed in one square inch. Therefore a 12x12 inch design at 300 DPI would be 3600X3600 pixels for a 300 DPI item. It is all about the design program you use. I hope that makes sense.

Most use RGB and that is quite fine. Don't over complicate it :)
RGB usually is for Computers and CMYK is for Printing.
If you Upload a RGB Image and Print it, it will be printed with the CMYK Colors, so the Printed result might look Different than the RGB One.
Depending on the Colors of your Image, the difference can be quite big.

PPI is pixels per inch. It's what the computer processes on the screen. DPI is dots per inch and what your printer uses when printing images. If you had a 1x1 inch square in PPI you would have 100 pixels in the square (pixel is a tiny square) and 1x1 inch for a printer, your printer would produce 100 dots per inch of color. Does that make sense?

You're very welcome. Do you mean 5 by 7 or just that ratio?
@@ShootingStarSVG I mean what should be the pixel width and height at 300 dpi, if I want to create an image that has 5:7 ratio? :)
Are all the elements in Canva already 300dpi? I'm just wondering if I enlarge the elements and print the page, if it'll look blurry or not. Does the element dpi size matter if I'm going to download as high quality PDF on Canva pro?
I'm not entirely sure if they are or not. I think you can check the properties of the elements.

Question, Is it ok to just print in canva pdf print only, or do you have to import it into a different program
Print to PDF is the highest quality you can get through Canva.
Hi first thanks for this informative video! So I have a question: when I'm exporting the pdf file and look up the resolution it's way too low. So about 1000 px for a 16x20 inch design. Is it nevertheless a good quality? And is it an oputunity to resize the px to make sure I have the right px number for 300dpi? (Also for png and jpeg)
Would help me a lot:)
Shoot me an email with the pdf snd what you're trying to do we can work through it

@@ShootingStarSVG Thank you very much! I sent you an email:)
Can you print 4 x 6 or 6 x 8 in PDF? I can't find a place (in Australia) where they would print a 4 x 6 (6 X 8) PDF file. Looks like it has to be in jpeg or png..
Entirely depends on the place. Some allow PDF others require JPG or PNG
How do you explain to customers how to downsize PDF files from 24x36 to 4x6? Do you tell them to use % and scale it down? I can't find a way using PDF reader to scale it down other than by %?
Generally most will be using a print shop therefore the company should be able to scale down for the customer without a concern. Since there are SO many different programs out there to print at home it would be impossible for me to show all of the different ways. However most would use a scale to print or fit to paper type print application. Hopefully that makes sense
@@ShootingStarSVG Thank you for your reply. Makes sense.
You are gold
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Anyone used canva PDFs...when I'm doing a set of 6, A3 prints combined into one PDF, a file size of 100mb is being produced.eep
I'm worried when someone needs to print through a printing service online it won't upload. What do others do? Do I make each file separately as a PDF.
Make each one separate
Thanks so much xx
I am using Inkscape. When I save a large image as a PDF it cuts off most of my image. What am I doing wrong?
Another question is will it work if I save an image as a PNG with 300 dpi. Open that PNG in inkscape and then save as a PDF?
I would have to see what you're doing to see what's going on. Feel free to join the FB group and post examples (facebook.com/groups/shootingstarsvg) You can try that and see what happens going from PNG to PDF.
Also double check you have page selected in the export window when saving.
THANK YOU
You're very welcome
I just purchased an Esty digital file, JPG that I downloaded, it was not a zip file...It is 6000 x 4000 Pixels, 72 resolution and 67 MB. What I don't understand is how is that possible when I try to upload a 47 MB image Etsy won't allow me and a message pops up that says only 25 MB max is allowed. Can someone please help?
Was it a custom or made to order item?
@@ShootingStarSVG It was a made to order digital download mockup
Thanks SSS
Any time
Thanks alot
Happy to help!
Argh I made like 200 designs on canva using 5x7" and want to sell in larger sizes. I'm concerned they won't size well since I designed in small size...do you have any suggestion besides redesigning everything from scratch?🥴😧
Unfortunately sizing those images up is not going to be possible unless they are SVG format
@@ShootingStarSVG argh, thanks for your reply，so should I just sell them in 5x7 size? I could resize them on canva pro but I don't know if they will end up blurry. I don't want to disregard 200 designs altogether😓
My pdfs are larger than 20 mb. What can I do?
You can use another upload service like dropbox or google drive to share your links. Just create the folder in dropbox or google drive and create a PDF to share the link and upload that.
lol ur so close to screen we are introverted people!!
This made me giggle. SORRY someone gave me feedback the other week my face is too close so now I'm trying to move further back. please forgive me :)
fire.
I do what I can brother!
A little too fast and low tone in the narration but still helpful.
Thank you for the feedback I'm working on slowing down
Great video!
For the ISO ratio, is it also possible to scale down from A2 to A6 and maintain the quality?
Also how do I get my digital art to be 300 dpi?
OMG never mind! I tried it half a dozen times & kept getting an error message...Watched another video, tried the exact same thing again & it worked!
Yes you can. DPI is just how many dots are printed in one square inch. Therefore a 12x12 inch design at 300 DPI would be 3600X3600 pixels for a 300 DPI item.
It is all about the design program you use. I hope that makes sense.
Glad you figured it out!
It makes sense. Thanks! Also, for the ISO ratio, is it also possible to scale down from A2 to A6 and maintain the quality?
Thank you.
You're welcome!
