Question
Are Canva files compatible with 4OVER4?
Answer
Canva files work with 4OVER4 as long as you export them in a supported format, since the design tool matters less than the file you upload. Canva can export to the formats print workflows expect.
- Accepted exports: PDF (preferred) or a high-resolution JPG.
- Best results: export as a PDF with the correct color mode and resolution settings for print.
- Before you upload: check the file requirements page for the dimensions, DPI, and color profile for your specific product.
In Canva, choose Download, then PDF Print, and turn on crop marks and bleed. Canva works in RGB and every job prints in CMYK, so some colors can shift. Use high-resolution images, since export cannot add detail: aim for 300 DPI with 0.125" bleed. You can also design for free in Canvs, the 4OVER4 design tool.
