Graphic Design - Canva "Cheat Sheet"

Helpful tips to make your Canva graphics work well with Canvas and other applications you use often:

  • Graphics and images are measured in pixels (abbreviated px). The larger the pixels, the better the quality of the image, and the larger it will be on the page.
  • When downloading a still image, choose PNG. The image will be better quality.
  • When downloading an image with movement, choose GIF.

Below are some common sizes you might use:
