🖨️ Printing Tips

For best results with your printable file:

• Print on heavy cardstock or premium paper.
• Select 100% / Actual Size (do not scale).
• Use your printer’s High/Best Quality setting.
• Local print shops (Staples, FedEx, Office Depot) or online printers are excellent if you don’t have a home printer (bring a USB or email the PDF file to the shop).

✨ For Editable Templates

• Download as a PDF (preferred) for printing. JPG/PNG can be used if required by your printer.
• Always double-check your text before printing a full batch.

💡 For Foldable Programs (double-sided)

• Choose Flip on Short Edge when printing double-sided.
• Keep settings on:
• Actual Size 
• High/Best print quality

✂️ For Designs with Crop Marks

• If your file includes crop marks, use them as a guide when trimming.
• A paper trimmer or sharp scissors will give the cleanest edge.
• Always cut just outside the black crop lines so they don’t show on the final card.

💡 Pro Tip for Foldable Programs

🪄Optional Tools for a Polished Finish

• Bone folder – for crisp, professional folds.
• Craft knife + ruler – for precise straight cuts.
• Paper trimmer – a tool with a built-in blade that slices paper in a perfectly straight line (used in schools and craft rooms).

✨ These tools are completely optional and not required at all — scissors work perfectly.

How to Edit Your Christmas Card Template

Learn how to customize your editable Christmas card template in Canva — including how to work with the festive garland layer, add your own photo, and save your ready-to-print holiday card.

For Printable Wall Art Only

This sizing guide applies to digital wall art prints. Editable templates (like invitations, cards, or programs) use different file formats and don’t follow these print ratios.

Each wall art file is provided in high resolution (300 DPI) and ready to print. Simply choose a frame size that matches the image’s aspect ratio—no editing or resizing needed!

✨ See the chart above to find your perfect size.
For example:

• 4:5 ratio → 8×10″, 11×14″, 16×20″
• 3:4 ratio → 6×8″, 9×12″, 12×16″
• 2:3 ratio → 4×6″, 8×12″, 12×18″

If your frame size is slightly different, most photo labs and printers automatically scale or crop your image so your artwork always looks beautiful and balanced — no extra editing needed.

Having Trouble Adding Photos to Canva?

If Canva says “Picture not supported,” try these quick steps:

1️⃣ Make sure your photos are JPG or PNG.
iPhone photos often save as HEIC, which Canva can’t read.
Take a screenshot of your photo or use heictojpg.com to convert it.

2️⃣ Open the template on a computer (not your phone).
The Canva mobile app can sometimes cause upload errors.
Go to Canva.com on a laptop or desktop instead.

3️⃣ Try smaller or re-saved photos.
Large or heavily edited photos may not upload correctly.
Open the photo, choose “Save As → JPG (Medium Size)”, then re-upload.

4️⃣ If you’re using Safari, switch browsers.
Safari can sometimes block or compress image uploads.
Try opening Canva in Google Chrome — that usually fixes it right away.

5️⃣ Still stuck?
Log out and back into Canva or refresh your browser, then try again.

⭐ How to Resize or Crop Your Digital Prints to Any Size

(For Square and Rectangular Designs)

Many customers like to print their designs in a different size than the original file. Because every design has its own aspect ratio (square or rectangular), it won’t automatically stretch to a new size without a little adjusting. This guide shows how to resize or crop any digital print to fit the size you need.

🔹 Why Sizes Don’t Always Match

• A square image (1:1) cannot fill a rectangle (like 18×24) without cropping.
• A rectangular image with one ratio (4:5, 3:4, 2:3, etc.) won’t perfectly fit a different ratio.
• This is normal and happens with all digital wall art.

The good news? It’s very easy to adjust!

⭐ OPTION 1: Use Your Printing Service (Quick & Simple)

When uploading your image to a print shop (Staples, Walgreens, FedEx, VistaPrint, etc.), look for these settings:

• Fit to Page
• Fill Page
• Scale to Fit
• Crop to Size
• Full Bleed / No Borders

Choosing “Fill” or “Crop” usually makes the artwork cover the entire print area.

⭐ OPTION 2: Resize Manually in Canva (Most Control)

1. Go to Canva.com
2. Click Create a Design → Custom Size
3. Enter the size you want to print (example: 18 × 24 inches)
4. Upload your artwork
5. Drag the image to fill the entire page
6. Crop the edges if needed
7. Download your ready-to-print file

This works for all image types — square, vertical, horizontal, or panoramic.

⭐ Tips for Best Results

• Square images must be cropped to fill rectangular sizes.
• Rectangular images may need light cropping to fit a new ratio.
• If you want no cropping, choose a print size that matches the original ratio.
• Some print sizes will add white borders unless you select “Full Bleed / Fill.”
