Designing From Scratch in Canva

1 min read

Creating a design from scratch in Canva gives you full control over the dimensions and layout. Here’s how to do it:

Setting Custom Dimensions: #

Click the Create a Design button and select Custom Dimensions.

Enter the dimensions you want (pixels, inches, millimeters, or centimeters), then click Create New Design.

Using Templates and Customizing: #

Once your custom-sized canvas is ready, Canva will suggest templates that fit your dimensions.

You can choose a free template to add to your design or start with a blank canvas.

Customize the design by adding elements, text, backgrounds, or uploading content from your computer.

Adding and Managing Pages: #

To add a new page, click Add a Page and select a new template for that page.

You can copy an existing page to duplicate it or delete a page if you don’t need it.

View your pages in full screen or Fit to Page, and manage them with the Page Manager for easier navigation.

Saving and Exiting: #

When you’re satisfied with the design, click Save.

Exit the Page Manager by clicking the button to return to your main canvas.

By designing from scratch, you have full flexibility to create unique, custom-sized projects in Canva.
